Big site. Big team. One set of drawings.

Graftix is built for specialist contractors on major projects: thousands of devices, a gang on every floor and a main contractor who wants every part of it evidenced. Every task, test, permit and instruction sits on the drawing it belongs to, from first fix to the O&M pack.

Built by a working contractor, on live jobs · Operatives on the register at no seat cost

The problem

Big jobs are lost in the gaps between people

On a major project the install is rarely the hard part. The hard part is the instruction nobody wrote down, the floor that is "finished", and the builders' work nobody can prove was asked for. Those gaps are where a specialist contractor's margin goes.

01

"Who told you to move it?"

A site manager on level 4 changed the route three weeks ago. Nobody wrote it down, and now it is a variation you cannot claim.

02

"Level 6 is done"

The gang has moved on. Commissioning finds forty devices with no test result, and handover is a fortnight away.

03

"We're waiting on the builder"

The recess for the panel was never formed. Nobody can say when it was asked for, so the delay lands on you.

04

"Who's on site today?"

Forty operatives from three subcontractors, and the main contractor wants inductions, cards and RAMS sign-off for every one of them.

Protect your position

Every instruction, request and question, on the record

The records that decide who pays for a delay are the ones nobody has time to write. In Graftix they are a tap on the drawing, with the date, the person and the evidence attached.

  • RFIs raised from a pin and sent by secure link: the designer or main contractor answers without an account, and only your team can close them
  • Builders' work requests the builder updates from their own link, with comments, photos and the moment the work was done
  • Site instructions and variations logged as they are given, with value, time impact and evidence, and the total value at risk on the project
  • A blocker log of who held you up: the trade, the company, the days blocked and the prolongation hours

The gate

Forty operatives, three subcontractors, one register

Induct people at the gate from a QR poster, check their cards before they pick up a tool, and know who is on site right now. Operatives and subcontract labour sit on your register without a paid seat.

  • The site induction on the operative's own phone: the questions, the RAMS read and signed, the cards photographed
  • New starters wait for approval with their ECS, CSCS, IPAF and PASMA cards already on the register
  • Expiring cards in amber, expired in red, and a competency pack for the main contractor in one click
  • Team on site: who is checked in now, on which project, and for how long

Safety and records

Everything the main contractor will ask for. Already filed.

The weekly report, the permit, the RAMS revision, the submittal. Captured on site as the work happens and filed against the job, so producing it takes a click rather than a weekend.

RAMS

Signed, by revision

Version-controlled, read in full on the phone and signed, with the sign-off record on the export.

Safety and compliance

Permits to work

Checked before issue

Pre-issue checks, live countdowns, fire watch and a hand-back form, for hot works, isolations and the rest.

Safety and compliance

Toolbox talks

Delivered and sealed

In person or remote, signed on the phone and sealed as a PDF with a QR verify page.

Safety and compliance

Reports

Built from what you tick

Photos, plan mini-maps, blockers and trade headers, for the main contractor's weekly report or the client's.

Reports

Technical submittals

One approved library

Datasheets, installation guides and certificates held once for the business and used on every project.

Communication and records

Site keys

Who has the fob

Keys and fobs with a QR label: who holds each one, when it came back and the photo that proves it.

Structure

One project. Every building, block and floor.

A parent project holds the contract, the programme and the money. Each building, block or zone is a site of its own, with its own drawings, tasks and team. Work happens on the floor; reporting rolls up to the top.

  • A task register built for thousands of devices, filtered by building, floor, trade and phase
  • Five trades on one drawing, each seeing only its own devices
  • A programme drawn from the real tasks on every level, and a resource view of headcount against capacity
  • Material pools ordered centrally and claimed against the task that used them
  • A portfolio dashboard and a Highlight Report for directors, across every live project

Commissioning and handover

Find the unfinished floor before the client does

Readiness is worked out per system from the results already recorded against each device. Nobody types a percentage, and a system cannot read complete while its devices are failing.

  • Installed, tested, outstanding and defective, for every system on the job
  • The certificate builder flags every device in scope with no completed test
  • Certificates sealed against a hash chain and verified by QR on the client's phone
  • Cause and effect witness tested step by step against each designed delay, then signed off on a sheet with a fingerprint everyone can check
  • An O&M pack that names its own gaps before you send it
  • Graftix Live: hand the client a live view of the systems you installed

Who built it

Built by a contractor, not a software house

Graftix was written by a working contractor with twenty years in fire, security, electrical and data, on live jobs against real deadlines. If a feature would not survive an engineer in a riser with cold hands, it did not ship.

Getting a major project live

We will set it up with you

Major project setup is quoted per project: drawings uploaded and pinned, asset registers imported, tasks structured by trade, your client's Graftix Live view configured, and your engineers trained on your own job. The subscription does not change: £40 a month per organisation and £20 per user, so a 50-person project team is £1,020 a month plus VAT.

Does the main contractor need a Graftix account?

No. RFIs, builders' work requests, eForms and proposals go out on a secure link, and they reply from a phone or a laptop without signing up.

Do subcontractors and operatives need a paid seat?

Only people who log in need a seat. Operatives and subcontract labour sit on your register for free with their cards, do the induction from the QR poster and complete eForms on a secure link.

How big a job will it hold?

Split the job into a site per building, block or zone, and each team works on its own part while the reporting rolls up. The task register is built for thousands of devices, with the drawings, programme and money held in the same project.

Will it work in the basement and the riser?

Yes. Graftix Go keeps what you open on the phone, and a whole project can be downloaded for a day without signal. Changes send themselves when you are back on.
