Written for your trade,
not for software buyers.
A roofing firm and a groundworks firm share almost nothing: not the materials, not the inspection load, not the way a week falls apart. These pages start with the trade and only then get to the platform.
Each page covers the working
week, the regimes, and how
the platform carries them.
Every trade page sets out the records that trade keeps, the regimes it works under, and the parts of Unibuild that hold them.
Construction and building services
Subcontract orders that hold, and a month end built from the job.
Temporary site services, electrical and mechanical
The trade this platform was written inside, in 2016.
Housing repairs and maintenance contractors
Measured at somebody else's rates, against a clock that is now statutory.
Heating and plumbing contractors
Who may legally touch which appliance, and the record that closes the job.
Electrical contractors
The certificate, the instrument that made it, and year five.
Joinery and carpentry contractors
Paid by the plot and the stage, with every fire door on its own record.
Landscaping and grounds maintenance contractors
Development work inside CIS, maintenance outside it, and a season on every site.
Civil engineering contractors
Temporary works permitted before anything is loaded, and hours counted on a night shift.
Groundworks contractors
Plant on the clock, muck away by the load, day works in the trench.
Roofing contractors
Weather, working at height, and part rolls nobody can count.
Drylining and partitioning contractors
A measure made every month, and a detail hidden the same afternoon.
Scaffolding contractors
Stock that lives on sites you do not control, and a clock on every scaffold.
Builders merchants and construction suppliers
Not a trade but an adjacent buyer, and the one with a case study behind it.
Structural steel erection contractors
Lift plans, accessories in date, and half a frame that has to stand up on its own.
Plant hire companies
Your whole balance sheet parked on somebody else’s site, each item on its own clock.
Fire and security systems installers
A register per site with its own service pattern, and the remedial quoted from the visit.
Glazing and window installers
A survey that becomes the order, and every replacement window notified.
HVAC and air conditioning contractors
A charge that sets the leak check date, and a maintenance visit every quarter.
Solar PV and battery storage installers
Three warranties per roof, a certificate per array and a network deadline.
Utilities and street works contractors
Three clocks on every hole: the permit, the operative's unit and the reinstatement guarantee.
Shopfitting and fit-out contractors
Eleven stores on the go, worked at night, handed over before Saturday trading.
Highways and surfacing contractors
A permit with a clock, and material with a working window of minutes.
Fire protection contractors
Hundreds of seals on one floor, each needing its own record.
Insulation and retrofit installers
Evidence photographed before it disappears, and lodged property by property.
Facade and cladding contractors
Every layer covers the evidence for the one beneath it.
Rail and infrastructure contractors
Competence at the access point, and a possession that closes on time.
Demolition contractors
Attachments moving between machines, and every load ticketed off site.
Piling and foundations contractors
A product buried within the hour, and a rig that counts as lifting plant.
Asbestos removal contractors
Four dates per person, a notification on a clock, and a licence renewed on the paperwork.
Lift installation and maintenance contractors
A portfolio of lifts, each examined twice a year and attended at two in the morning.
Spray coatings and heritage stonemasonry are next.
