Residential towers under construction at dusk, tower cranes on their cores.

 

The work happens on site. Now the paperwork does too.

Permits, safety checks, inspections and handover, done on a phone the moment they happen, even with no signal. Follow one working day, then see what Novade could save your project.

2.5–5%

Just finishing a build properly (the final inspections, fixing what is not right, handing over the paperwork) typically costs 2.5 to 5% of the whole project, by Novade’s figures. On a $150M job, that is $3.75M–$7.5M before anyone moves in.

Four moments from one working day.

Each one is slow on paper. Each has a Novade module built for it, and every one runs on a phone, online or off, so the record is made where the work is.

Scroll through the day

  1. 06:15, HSEHealth and safety

    Permission to lift, before the crane moves.

    TodayLifting anything heavy needs a signed permit. On paper it waits for three signatures while the crew stands at the gate.

    With NovadeThe permit is filled in on a phone, checked against each worker’s training and licences, and approved from wherever the manager is.

    Up to 80%less spent on permit paperwork

  2. 11:00, QualityInspections

    A quality check, signed off on the spot.

    TodayAn inspector ticks a paper checklist, takes photos on their own phone, then types it all up back in the site office.

    With NovadeThe checklist, the photos and the signature land on one record, matched to the plan the work was meant to follow.

    2,000,000+checklists completed in Novade every month

  3. 15:30, Site DiaryDaily records

    The day’s record, written once.

    TodayAt knock-off, someone writes up the whole day from memory, then writes it again for the weekly report.

    With NovadeThe diary is kept as the day happens, next to the permits and checks it mentions, so nothing is written twice.

    30 minsaved every shift on daily reporting

  4. 17:00, QualityDefects and handover

    Every fault fixed before the keys change hands.

    TodayThings that need fixing live in a spreadsheet, and the handover pack is pulled together in the final fortnight.

    With NovadeEach fault is logged, given to someone and closed on one record, so the handover pack is ready when the building is.

    Up to 80%fewer handover admin tasks

One record follows the job from start to finish.

A permit, a check or a fault is opened, checked, approved and closed by the people on site. The office sees it as it happens, not at the end of the week.
