Thursday // 19:47 // Site Office

It's 7pm and you're still at your desk because a sub's public liability expired last Tuesday — and you only found out this morning, from the site manager, not your files. The groundworks crew is on site tomorrow at 7am. You've called twice. No answer. You're now chasing the insurance broker directly. Meanwhile, three other certs are expiring this month and nobody is tracking them.

Site Admin Office — External Site Admin for Construction Firms

This Isn't a People Problem.
It's Infrastructure.

At 5+ active sites, manual tracking breaks structurally — every time. Not because your team isn't trying. Because the volume outgrew the system months ago. We run the compliance coordination layer so nothing slips through.

At £60–£80/hr, 10–15 hours/week of compliance admin costs you £31k–£62k per year — on work that shouldn't be touching your desk at 7pm.

Manual Tracking Fails Between 5–7 Active Sites

Below that, it's painful but manageable. Above it, something always slips through — and you find out at the worst possible moment. During an inspection. During a client audit. When a sub is already on site.

15hrs
Per week lost to cert chasing, expiry tracking, and file scrambles
£62k
Annual cost at £80/hr of time spent on work that shouldn't need it
5–7
Active sites — the threshold where manual tracking breaks every time

This is what running 6 sites without a compliance system looks like: chasing subs for insurance renewals, tracking cert expiries across projects, scrambling to organise files before audits.

The question isn't whether something slips through. It's whether you find out during a check — or during an inspection.

The Difference Is Systematic vs. Manual

Manual Tracking
Hope nothing expires between periodic checks
Scramble when audit notices arrive with 48-hour deadlines
Discover compliance gaps during inspections — reactively
Tracking stops when your admin person is away
Still dealing with this at 7pm on a Thursday
Systematic Coordination
Know exactly which subs have current vs expiring documents
Audit pack ready in 2 hours, not a 2-day scramble
Gaps flagged 30 days before expiry — proactively
Consistent coverage — no single point of failure
You focus on sites and margins, not cert admin

We Act as Your External Site Admin Office

Operating in your time zone, using your existing software, following your SOPs. We work in Google Drive, SharePoint, Excel, and your project software. No new platforms to buy or learn.

Subcontractor Compliance
  • Insurance certificates — collect, track expiries, chase renewals
  • Operative certifications (CSCS, trade cards, safety tickets)
  • 30-day renewal reminders sent directly to subs
  • Persistent chasing for missing or expiring documents
  • CIS subcontractor records organised and audit-ready
Documentation Coordination
  • H&S documents, method statements, permits filed and indexed
  • Compliance registers maintained (current / expiring / missing)
  • Audit-ready packs pre-organised — not built in a panic
  • Weekly status reports to your ops lead
  • Full activity log — every action documented
The boundary: We handle chasing, tracking, organising, and flagging. You keep decisions, approvals, technical review, and enforcement. You define what's required — we make sure it exists, it's current, and it's organised.

  • Current cert tracking method reviewed
  • Expiry flagging process assessed
  • CIS verification workflow checked
  • H&S pack completeness evaluated
  • Single point of failure risk identified

Each area scored: CURRENT / AT RISK / GAP IDENTIFIED

Why Contractors Choose This Over Alternatives

Why not just hire someone internally?

The internal hire reality:

  1. £33k–£47k per year (salary + overheads)
  2. 3–6 months before they're productive on your systems
  3. Single point of failure — sick days, holidays, resignation means tracking stops
  4. You're managing another employee

What we provide:

  1. Dedicated coordination — not dependent on one internal person
  2. Operational from Week 2, not Month 6
  3. Scales with your project count — 5 sites or 12 sites, same infrastructure
  4. You're buying a system, not managing headcount

The question isn't "hire vs outsource." It's "single point of failure vs systematic infrastructure."

We tried other solutions and they didn't understand construction.

Valid concern. Here's how this is different. Week 1 is onboarding. You tell us:

  1. What documents to track (insurance types, certs, permits)
  2. How to organise your filing structure
  3. When to escalate non-responsive subs
  4. What reporting format you need

You're not teaching us construction. You're defining your requirements once and we run them systematically.

This is coordination infrastructure, not compliance consulting. You define what's required — we make sure it's tracked, chased, and organised so nothing slips through.

We're concerned about external access to our systems.

You control access completely:

  1. Role-based permissions — we only access folders you explicitly grant
  2. You can revoke access instantly at any time
  3. We work in your existing cloud storage — nothing downloaded to external systems

Same permission controls you'd give an internal employee. Full visibility and control at all times. Data handling terms confirmed at onboarding.

What if our subs won't respond to you?

We use a documented chase protocol with clear escalation at every step:

  1. 1Email request with a clear deadline sent to sub
  2. 2Follow-up email after 5 days if no response
  3. 3Phone chase if still no response after 10 days
  4. 4Escalated to you after 3 documented attempts — you decide what happens next

You discover non-compliance 30 days before expiry instead of during an inspection. You retain full authority — we make sure nothing gets ignored.

How quickly can this actually be set up?
  1. W1We build the structure — folders, registers, tracking system to your specs
  2. W2Active coordination begins — chasing, reminders, filing underway
  3. W4Fully systematised — 30–60 minutes/week from you

Compare that to hiring internally (3–6 months to productivity) or continuing to burn 10–15 hours per week indefinitely.

What if this doesn't work for our structure?

Month 1 is a 30-day pilot. By the end of it, you'll know if this is:

  1. Recovering 10+ hours/week of time spent on compliance admin
  2. Organising compliance better than your current setup
  3. Worth continuing

If it's not working, we adjust or part ways. Commitment terms are discussed at onboarding — no surprise contracts.

The time savings are structural. When someone else handles systematic chasing and tracking, you automatically get those hours back. Test it in 30 days with zero long-term risk.

Operational From Week 2

Compare that to hiring internally (3–6 months to productivity) or continuing to burn 10–15 hours per week indefinitely.

Week 1
We Build the Structure
Folders, registers, and tracking system built to your specs. Your time: 3–4 hours defining requirements and granting access.
Week 2
Active Coordination Begins
Chasing, reminders, and filing underway. Your time: 1–2 hours reviewing outputs.
Week 3
Refinement
Adjusting protocols based on your feedback. Your time: 1–2 hours/week.
Week 4+
Fully Systematised
Your time: 30–60 minutes/week reviewing status reports and handling escalations.

Who we work with: Construction firms managing 5–12 simultaneous projects. You're at the scale where manual tracking is breaking down but you can't justify a £35k–£45k full-time compliance hire.

Stop Finding Out at the Wrong Moment.

If you're running 5+ active sites and compliance tracking is held together by one person, a spreadsheet, or hope — the audit takes 24 hours and costs nothing.
