Industries / Construction
Construction labour, from the booking to the invoice.
Raise a shift, check the cards, record the hours, run the payroll and send the invoice. It is one system, so nothing is entered twice.
Cards are checked when somebody is booked. If a card has expired, the booking does not go through.
One view of every agency working on your sites.
If you use more than one agency, our system puts all of them in one place — the people, the hours and the spend — so you are not logging into three portals to work out where you stand.
See who is on your site today
You get a live list of everyone booked on, which agency sent them, and what each person holds. If the alarm goes or an auditor turns up, the answer is already on screen rather than something you assemble from four sources.
Approve hours against your own cost codes
Day rate, price work and measured work all reach you in the same place, already coded. Your QS can see what has been signed off against each code while there is still time to query it, instead of after the application has gone in.
Get three weeks of warning on AWR
Our software runs the twelve-week clock for every worker on every site and warns you at week nine. That gives you time to plan for the rate change rather than meeting it on an invoice.
Hold the contract and see every tier underneath it.
You are the name on the contract, and our system gives you one view of the whole thing, including the packages other agencies are filling for you.
Pass work down and keep sight of itIn build
You can send a package to another agency and it stays inside your view of the contract. Your client still deals only with you and still gets one application, so subcontracting does not cost you the single point of contact you sell.
Check their compliance without seeing their ratesIn build
You can confirm that a subcontractor’s workers hold the cards your site asks for. The rate columns are not in the view in either direction, so neither of you has to worry about the other seeing your margin.
Self-bill without reconciling anythingIn build
The hours your client approved are the hours your suppliers are billed for. Both sides of the contract come from one set of numbers, which saves you the month-end job of making two systems agree.
CIS, PAYE and umbrella in one payroll run.
Our system runs all four employment types together, so a CIS subcontractor and a PAYE labourer on the same site in the same week is one process rather than two.
CIS handled from start to finish
Our software holds verified status against each subcontractor, applies the right deduction rate automatically, and builds your monthly return from the same hours you invoiced. You are not rebuilding a spreadsheet on the fifth of every month.
Let the site approve the hours
Your workers clock in from their phones with the location recorded, and your client approves in their own login. That takes chasing signed timesheets out of your Monday.
A real ledger behind every payslip
Every payslip and invoice posts to double-entry accounts as it happens. You can see what is owed and by whom without exporting anything into a separate accounts package.
What we check in construction
Right to work, checked once
Checked once and kept against the worker, with the evidence stored behind it. It is reused the next time they are booked.
An AWR clock for each site
The twelve-week clock runs from the first week on a site. You get a warning before the worker qualifies.
Rest and hours
Maximum shift length, rest between shifts and consecutive days are set for the sector and applied when the shift is created.
The schemes, and how each card gets checked
Set up already, with the awarding body and the way each card is checked.
- Checked against the scheme
CSCS
The card most UK construction sites check at the gate. Colour and grade say what the holder is qualified to do.
- Checked and recorded
CITB
Site Safety Plus — the supervisor and manager courses, and the touchstone health, safety and environment test.
- Checked against the scheme
NOCN / CPCS
Plant operators, endorsed by machine category — a 360 excavator ticket is not a telehandler ticket.
- Checked against the scheme
CISRS
Scaffolding, from trainee through to advanced and supervisor.
- Checked and recorded
IRATA
Rope access, at three levels, with a supervisor required on site above a certain size of team.
- Checked and recorded
TWI
Welder qualification and inspection — CSWIP and the coding behind pressure and structural work.
- Checked against the scheme
NPORS
The other plant scheme, used alongside CPCS and accepted on most sites.
- Checked and recorded
IPAF
Powered access — scissor lifts and boom lifts, by category.
- Checked and recorded
PASMA
Mobile access towers.
- Checked against the scheme
CCDO
Demolition, which most principal contractors require in place of a general card. Graded from trainee to manager.
- Checked automatically
Home Office right to work
Not a qualification, which is why it is the one requirement nobody can override. Checked once from a share code and reused.
Roles we set up most often
Requirements attach to the role, so the check runs on every booking. Your own list is set up during onboarding.
- General labourer
- Right to work, and a CSCS Labourer card.
- Groundworker
- Right to work, and a skilled-worker CSCS card backed by an NVQ at level 2.
- Steel fixer, bricklayer, carpenter
- The same skilled-worker route, with the trade endorsement on the card.
- Scaffolder
- A CISRS card at the level the work needs — trainee, scaffolder or advanced.
- Scaffolding supervisor
- CISRS at supervisor level, on top of the operative card.
- Plant operator
- CPCS or NPORS, endorsed for the exact machine — 360 excavator, forward-tipping dumper, telehandler.
- MEWP operator
- IPAF for the category of platform, plus a card for site access.
- Site supervisor
- A supervisory CSCS card and the CITB supervisor course.
- Site manager
- A manager CSCS card and the CITB manager course.
- Rope access technician
- IRATA at the level the work is rated for.
- Welder
- Coding for the process and material, and a card for site access.
We will show you this working
We can show you construction running end to end: a shift created, a card checked, a booking refused, hours approved, and the payslip and invoice that follow.
Send us your requirements
Send us the cards and checks your construction sites ask for. We will set them up in Bonim and show you the checks running.
