Prove readiness before work begins
Access, RAMS, briefings, permits and area condition checked and recorded before the first tool comes out, so a stood-down gang is an exception, not a Monday routine.

The check happens before the gang does
Work through the pre-start on a phone at the work area, so anything missing is found before a gang is standing waiting.
- Access, area and services confirmed
- RAMS and briefing recorded
- Completed before work is released
One release, one record
The area is either released or it is not, and the record shows who released it and on what basis.
- Released by a named person
- Time-stamped release record
- Nothing released on a verbal yes
Blockers raised, not absorbed
A failed pre-start raises the blocker with an owner, so the cause is fixed rather than quietly worked around.
- Blockers with an owner and a date
- Repeat blockers visible
- Linked to the delay record
A dated record for every area released
When a question comes back about readiness, the pre-start record answers it.
- Full history by area and date
- Photos of area condition
- Exported with the compliance record

Frequently asked questions
What is a pre-start checklist in construction?
A pre-start checklist confirms an area is ready before work begins: access, services, area condition, RAMS and briefings. In Insite it is completed on a phone at the work area and the area is released by a named person with a time-stamped record.
What happens when a pre-start fails?
The blocker is raised with an owner and a date, so it is cleared rather than absorbed, and repeat blockers become visible across the job.
Can we use our own pre-start checks?
Yes. The checklist is built to your own wording and criteria, and updating it makes the new version live on every device.
Does it link to the delay record?
Yes. A blocker that stops work can be linked to the site diary and delay record, so lost time is evidenced on the day.
Can we see which areas are released right now?
Yes. The release board shows every area for the day with its release time, alongside anything blocked or still awaiting a check.
Which devices does Insite work on?
Insite runs on iOS, Android and the web and works offline on site, so the same pre-start record is available to everyone from phone to office.
