Construction & engineering · Brisbane & Australia-wide

Site to office, without the re-keying.

Prestarts on paper, variations in email, tickets in a spreadsheet nobody trusts. We build the apps and workflows that carry site information into the office the moment it exists — on the Microsoft 365 you already pay for.

Civil, commercial and specialist contractors, and engineering firms, with 50–500 people across office and site.

01Sound familiar

The work around the work.

01

Paper that rides around in a ute

Prestarts, SWMS sign-offs and site diaries get filled in on paper, then typed up days later — if they are typed up at all.

02

Variations agreed on site, lost by invoice

A site instruction is agreed verbally or by text. By the time it reaches the commercial team, the detail and the evidence are gone.

03

Tickets and inductions in a spreadsheet

Licences, white cards and plant inspections expire quietly. Someone finds out at the gate, or in an audit.

04

Every project rebuilds the folders

Each new job starts with a fresh copy of last job's folder tree, and the current drawing is whichever one was emailed last.

02Where the hours go

Same process, rebuilt.

Most of the manual work in a construction business is information crossing a gap: from site to office, from one system to another, from one person's inbox to the register it belongs in. Nobody designed those gaps. They grew one workaround at a time, and every one of them costs somebody an afternoon a week.

What we usually build first

We start where the re-keying is heaviest and the risk is highest. For most contractors that is site paperwork and compliance — they happen every day, and a missed one has consequences.

BuildReplacesTypical build time
Prestart and SWMS appPaper forms, typed up later3–4 weeks
Site diaryNotebooks and end-of-day emails3–4 weeks

Build times are typical ranges from our catalogue, confirmed in the free audit. Everything runs offline-first where it needs to — a phone with no signal still captures the form, and it syncs when the crew is back in range.

06Questions

Construction, answered.

01Do the apps work on site with no signal?

Yes, where it matters. Prestarts, diaries and inspections are built offline-first: the form is captured on the phone and syncs as soon as there is a connection. We test this in the field before handover, not just in the office.

02Will this replace our project management or ERP system?

No. We fill the gaps around it — the forms, approvals and registers that live on paper or in spreadsheets today — and connect to your existing systems where a connector or API exists. The audit tells you what can connect and what can't.

03What does it cost for a construction business?

The audit is free. Single builds are scoped from $10,000 at a fixed price, and retainers start at $3,000 a month. Most apps run on the Microsoft 365 licences you already have; where a build needs premium Power Apps licences, we tell you before you commit.

04Can subcontractors use the apps?

Often, yes — as guests in your tenant or through a simple external form, depending on what they need to do. The licensing for external users is different, so we work it out in the audit rather than guessing.
