Subcontractors and specialist contractors
Keep the information for your own work package and workforce together, while leaving the principal contractor’s duties and other contractors’ records with the people responsible for them.
SiteHQ in practiceThe practical problem
Specialists are often asked for information at short notice while project details are spread across emails, drawings and messages. SiteHQ gives the subcontractor a narrower workspace for its own package and workforce without implying that it controls the principal contractor’s duties.
Role and trade: “Subcontractor” is a project role. “Electrical”, “roofing” or “groundworks” is the trade. Choose the project role that describes your responsibility, then add every trade pack relevant to your business.
The subcontractor controls its own scope, RAMS, evidence and workforce records.
A practical example
SiteHQ helps subcontractors and specialist contractors organise the information for their work package, prepare review-ready records and keep their team’s site journey traceable.
Add the enquiry, order, drawings, programme dates and the exact work area.
Reuse confirmed details in RAMS, briefings and the relevant trade-document drafts.
Keep isolations, permits, access arrangements and missing approvals visible until the right person confirms them.
Keep issue, acknowledgement, attendance, photographs and completion evidence with the package.
Relevant SiteHQ records
Status wording is deliberately explicit. A workflow being present in software does not by itself approve a specialist certificate or replace the person responsible for the real work.
Prepare and control the documents for your own work package.
Keep site evidence and daily records connected to the job.
Electrical and mechanical isolation, hot work, digging, excavation and roof-work workflows are available in SiteHQ.
Store and track external certificates without presenting SiteHQ as their issuer.
Enter once, carry forward carefully
SiteHQ can reuse confirmed information and keep its source visible. It must not turn a document reference into a physical observation.
ScopeFan-coil replacement in east office zone
InputOrder, marked-up drawing and programme date
Open pointIsolation authority to be named
RecordRAMS draft and mechanical-isolation draft linked
Human approval stays visible
The specialist contractor remains responsible for its scope, competent people, technical checks, certificates and safe system of work. SiteHQ does not verify an isolation, inspection, test result or professional qualification.
Questions contractors ask
Yes. Trade selection is multi-select because many subcontractors carry out more than one type of work.
No. SiteHQ helps prepare and control the draft; your competent person must review and approve it for the real work.
Project files can be stored with the job. A third-party form remains that party’s document and does not become a SiteHQ-issued certificate.
