The challenge
Construction runs on documentation. Documentation runs on people you don't have.
NZ construction faces a workforce shortage, tightening margins, and increasing compliance obligations. Every manual process adds cost and risk to projects that can't afford either.
Safety reporting happens too late
Site observations on paper, filed days later. Incident reports written up hours after the event. Toolbox talk records that don't make it into the system. When WorkSafe asks, you're scrambling to find evidence of what you did.

Health and Safety at Work Act 2015
Documentation eats project margins
Monthly reports assembled manually from Procore, Aconex, spreadsheets, and email. Meeting minutes typed up after every meeting. RFIs with 5-15 day turnaround. Every document takes time your team doesn't have.

Experience is leaving the industry
Your senior site manager retires. Your best project engineer moves to Australia for 30-40% more pay. Their knowledge of how things actually work on site goes with them. With a 50,000+ workforce gap, you can't replace them.

Too many platforms, none of them talk
Procore for project management. Aconex for documents. Hammertech for safety. SiteWise for prequalification. Spreadsheets for everything else. Your teams operate across 4-7 disconnected platforms per project.

The gap
You've probably bought more platforms already.
Another safety app that doesn't talk to Procore. A document tool that creates a new silo. An AI pilot that worked in the demo but couldn't handle your actual site reports. You're not behind. Most contractors are in the same place.
The problem was never the AI.
It was the infrastructure underneath. Something that connects to your existing project systems, understands your HSWA obligations, and gets smarter across every site.
That's what we build.

We had a scaffolding collapse on site with a minor injury. What are our notification requirements?
A scaffolding collapse with injury falls under HSWA Category 2 - an event that exposes a person to serious risk of harm. You must notify WorkSafe 'as soon as possible' and preserve the site. Maximum penalty for Category 2 failure to notify: $1.5M (body corporate). I can help you draft the notification.
What about the investigation timeline?
WorkSafe recommends completing your internal investigation within 72 hours while evidence is fresh. You must not disturb the site without WorkSafe approval. Your SSSP requires the H&S lead to initiate the investigation form within 4 hours of the incident.
