# SitesAI

> SitesAI makes two software products for civil and earthmoving contractors and the estimators who price their work: SitesAI Estimate, a browser-based earthworks takeoff and estimating app, and the SitesAI App, a work-management app for running jobs and crews on the web, iOS and Android. Both products start free, and both connect to AI assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT through an MCP connector.

## SitesAI App features

Index: https://sitesai.net/features

- [Time tracking and clock-in](https://sitesai.net/features/time-tracking): The SitesAI App's time tracking records who worked, on which site and for how long, for civil and earthmoving crews. A worker clocks in and out on their phone with a start and finish photo and the location of the tap, signs the shift, and a supervisor countersigns it. The office exports the approved hours as a timesheet report or a CSV file.
- [Digital dockets](https://sitesai.net/features/digital-dockets): The SitesAI App's digital dockets replace the paper docket book for plant hire and earthmoving work. Each truck gets its own docket, the customer signs it on their own phone by scanning a QR code on the operator's phone, the lines freeze at the signature, and the signed docket comes out as a branded A4 PDF attached to the job.
- [Site compliance documents](https://sitesai.net/features/site-compliance): The SitesAI App's site compliance tracks the tickets, licences, insurances and inductions a site requires, for your own crew and for subcontractors. Each site carries its own list of required documents, people and companies submit theirs with expiry dates, and one compliance report shows who is not compliant on what, right now.
- [Guided flows: digital SOPs](https://sitesai.net/features/guided-flows): The SitesAI App's guided flows turn a standard operating procedure into a step-by-step walk-through on the worker's phone. You write each SOP once in a shared library, order SOPs into a process and assign it to a person or a role. Each step does real work as it is completed: it clocks the worker in, files a pre-start, attaches a photo or produces a signed docket.
- [Equipment, pre-starts and maintenance](https://sitesai.net/features/equipment-maintenance): The SitesAI App's equipment tools keep a register of your machines and the checks done on them. Each machine has its own record with a serial number, a daily pre-start checklist, service intervals by machine hours and a maintenance history. A defect found on a pre-start raises a triage task instead of sitting on a form.
- [Quotes, variations and progress claims](https://sitesai.net/features/quotes-variations-claims): The SitesAI App keeps a job's quote, agreed scope of work, variations and progress claims on one record. A client accepts a quote by typing their name on a share link, the quote lines import as the scope, variations are approved the same way, and a progress claim reports what has been done against the approved lines. The app does not invoice or take payment.

## Who SitesAI is for

- [Site supervisors](https://sitesai.net/for/site-supervisors): For a site supervisor, the SitesAI App is the record of the day: who was on site, what was done, and whether the paperwork is in order. A supervisor countersigns the crew's shifts, sees who on the site is missing an induction or a ticket, picks up pre-start defects as tasks, gets the docket signed and keeps the site diary, all from a phone.
- [Subcontractors](https://sitesai.net/for/subcontractors): For a subcontractor, the SitesAI App is a wallet for your documents and a narrow door onto the head contractor's site. You upload a ticket or an insurance certificate once and share it with each company that needs it, submit it against a site's requirements, complete the site induction on your phone, and see only the work on that site that was assigned, planned or offered to you.
- [Estimators](https://sitesai.net/for/estimators): For an estimator, SitesAI Estimate turns a set of plans into cut and fill quantities and a priced estimate, in a browser. You load a PDF, DWG or DXF plan, calibrate it, trace the work area, set the existing and design levels, check the result as 3D terrain, then price the lines and export the estimate to Excel or PDF.
- [Owners and operations managers](https://sitesai.net/for/owners-operations-managers): For the owner or operations manager of a small civil crew, SitesAI keeps the job on one record from the first enquiry to the progress claim. Leads and quotes, rostered shifts, timesheets, dockets, compliance and plant sit in the SitesAI App, the takeoff and the estimate sit in SitesAI Estimate, and an AI assistant can be connected to both.
