Engineering the software behind ambitious businesses.

Construction & Field Services

The job happens on site. The system usually does not.

Estimating, work orders, scheduling, mobile capture, safety and quality forms, document control and client communication — designed for teams working away from a desk.

Overview

Every hour spent re-entering site information is an hour nobody costed.

Field and construction businesses run on information captured in difficult conditions: outdoors, on a phone, with gloves on, often with no signal. What happens to that information afterwards decides how much admin the business carries.

The common pattern is capture on paper or by message, then re-entry in the office, then reconciliation when something does not match. The re-entry is visible; the reconciliation usually is not.

Capturing it once, in structure, at the point of work removes both — and produces the document trail that variations and disputes depend on.

Who we build for

The teams inside this sector we work with.

01

Contractors & subcontractors

Businesses coordinating jobs, crews, materials and variations across multiple sites.

02

Field service & maintenance

Teams running scheduled and reactive work with parts, SLAs and customer sites.

03

Specialist trades

Organizations quoting, scheduling and completing structured jobs at volume.

04

Project & site management

Teams responsible for programme, safety, quality and document control across a project.

Challenges

Common friction, and what we do about it.

Every engagement starts from a specific operational problem rather than a product we are trying to place.

Estimates are built in a spreadsheet from scratch each time

Structured estimating with reusable rates, assemblies and version history that carries through to the job.

Site updates arrive as photos in a group chat

Structured mobile capture attached to the job, with photos, notes, timestamp and location.

Variations are agreed verbally and disputed later

In-app variation capture with description, cost, evidence and client acknowledgement.

Safety and quality forms are paper and get filed late

Digital forms completed on site with sign-off, immediately searchable and reportable.

Clients call for progress updates

A client view of programme, completed work, documents and upcoming activity.

What we build

Capabilities that fit this sector.

01

Estimating & quoting

Reusable rates and assemblies, versioned quotes, and conversion straight into a job.

02

Work orders & scheduling

Crew and resource scheduling, dispatch, job status and completion capture.

03

Mobile field capture

Offline-tolerant capture of progress, photos, materials, hours, signatures and exceptions.

04

Safety & quality

Digital inspections, toolbox talks, permits and non-conformance with sign-off and history.

05

Document control

Drawings, specifications and certificates with versioning and controlled distribution.

06

Client & subcontractor communication

Progress visibility, variation approval and structured subcontractor coordination.

Artificial intelligence

Where AI earns its place here.

Applications with a credible return in this sector — each one wrapped in human review, defined data boundaries and an audit trail.

AI

Site photo classification

Automatic tagging of site photographs by job, stage and issue type, so evidence is findable months later without manual filing.

AI

Document extraction

Pulling structured data from supplier quotes, delivery notes and certificates into the job record, with human confirmation.

AI

Report drafting

First-draft progress and incident reports assembled from captured site data, always reviewed and edited by a person before issue.

Example architecture

What a typical engagement looks like.

Example solution architecture

Capture once on site, use everywhere afterwards

An offline-tolerant mobile app for crews capturing progress, hours, materials, photos, safety forms and variations against the job record, synchronising when a connection returns. The office platform handles estimating, scheduling and document control, and a client-facing view exposes programme and approved variations without a phone call.

Questions

Straight answers.

Yes — that is a core requirement rather than a feature. Capture happens locally and syncs when a connection returns, with explicit status so nothing is silently lost.

Only if it is faster than what they do now. We design for gloves, sunlight and interruption, and test with actual crews before rollout.

That is often the strongest business case. Structured capture with photos, timestamps and acknowledgement produces a far better evidence trail than a message thread.

Commonly, yes — so job costs, hours and invoicing do not need re-entry. Feasibility is confirmed per system during discovery.

How does today's site work reach the office?

If it involves paper, photos by message, or re-keying tomorrow morning, there is a field capture project worth scoping.
