Software and Apps for Construction
Apps for site staff and dashboards for the office, built for Irish contractors and the people who keep their sites safe and compliant.
Construction software that works on site
Most of the paperwork on a building site is the same every week: inspection forms, certificates, sign in sheets, toolbox talks, timesheets and fuel records. It's filled in on paper or in a spreadsheet, chased up by the office and searched for when an inspector or main contractor asks to see it.
We build apps that let site staff do that work on their phone or tablet, and a web dashboard where the office can see it all as it comes in. Forms are laid out so they're filled in correctly first time, certificates and PDFs are produced automatically, and records are kept together so you can find them in seconds.
Construction software we've built
AM Site Solutions sell a health and safety system to construction companies, and we built all of it: iPhone and Android apps for the people on site, a dashboard for each customer's office and a management portal for AM Site Solutions themselves. Engineers complete GA1 and GA2 forms on site and the certificate is issued straight away. Each machine carries a QR code that brings up its latest certificate, and expiry reminders go out automatically. GA1 work alone now saves 492 hours a year.
The AM Site Solutions system keeps growing. Since the first version we've added fuel delivery records, maintenance worksheets with their own PDFs, and a weekly timesheet with Excel and CSV exports and a history of any changes the office makes. Each feature can be switched on or off for each of their customers.
Instaspace build sustainable modular buildings. Their app sends safety documents to subcontractors and records that they've been read, runs quizzes and Toolbox Talks, handles site sign in and out, and gives the Instaspace team the reports they need for health and safety audits.
For a contractor working on roadsides across Ireland, we built a system where crew leaders check in on an iPad that records who's on the crew and where they are. Site audit forms are completed on the iPad, deviations are tracked until they're closed, and the office gets timesheet and crew reports for about 35 staff.

Workers sign in and out of site on their phone, and the crew lead records who attended each talk.

What construction software do you build?
We build apps and web systems for Irish construction companies and the health and safety businesses that serve them. That includes GA1 and GA2 forms, site audits, safety certificates with expiry reminders, site sign in, Toolbox Talks, timesheets, fuel and maintenance records, and the reports that pull them together.
Can site staff use the app on their own phones?
Yes. We build native apps for iPhone and Android, so staff can use their own phones or company tablets. The office uses a web dashboard in the browser, and everything stays in step through the cloud.
Do you build GA1 and GA2 software?
Yes. We built the GA1 and GA2 forms used by <a href="/case-studies/a-custom-mobile-app-for-compliance-and-certification/">AM Site Solutions</a>. Engineers complete the form on site and the certificate is issued straight away, with a QR code on the machine linking to it. GA1 work alone saves them 492 hours a year.
Can the app work where there's poor signal on site?
Yes, where the job needs it. We've built site apps that keep working without signal and send everything up once the device is back online. We'll talk through how your sites are covered before deciding how the app should handle it.
Can you replace our paper sign in sheets and Toolbox Talk records?
Yes. The <a href="/case-studies/instaspace/">Instaspace</a> app handles site sign in and out, and records which subcontractors have read each safety document and completed each Toolbox Talk. The records are kept together for audits.
Can construction software handle timesheets?
Yes. We've built clock in on an iPad that records location, and a weekly timesheet where staff enter their hours and the office exports them to Excel or CSV for payroll. Changes the office makes are kept in a history so nothing is lost.
How much does construction software cost?
A first version usually costs €3,000 to €8,000, a mid-sized system €8,000 to €12,000, and larger builds start at €15,000. Most construction clients start with the one form or process that costs them the most time and add to it over the following months and years.
How long does it take to build?
A first version usually takes 4 to 8 weeks. After that the system grows in stages as you find new things you'd like it to do, the way the AM Site Solutions system has grown from GA1 forms to fuel records, maintenance worksheets and timesheets.
Can we sell the software to other construction companies?
Yes. AM Site Solutions sell their system to their own customers, with a dashboard for each customer and a management portal to set them up, and switch features on and off for each one. You own the code, so it's your product to sell.
