Running the job on site

Winning the job is the easy half. Running it means knowing who is on site today, what they did, whether their ticket is still current, and what you can claim at the end of the month — usually while standing in a paddock with one bar of signal.

Most small civil businesses end up with a phone full of photos, a glovebox full of dockets, a spreadsheet of hours and a folder of expired certificates. None of them talk to each other, and the one the head contractor asks for is always the one nobody has.

These guides cover the parts that actually get asked for on an Australian site — signed dockets, a site diary that holds up, prestarts and defects, inductions and document expiry, timesheets that match what you billed — and the commercial chain behind them, from the accepted quote through to the progress claim. They are written against the SitesAI App, which is free for up to ten licences.

If you are still choosing, the comparisons put it side by side with the other apps on your shortlist.
