Frequently asked questions
What is construction software for civil engineering contractors?
It is one system for the records an infrastructure job has to produce: ITP hold points, pour and test records, setting out and survey evidence, environmental and permit checks, diaries and the as-built information. Insite captures each of those on a phone at the chainage they happen and holds them against the structure or section.
Can we use our own ITPs?
Yes. Your inspection and test plan is digitised once and issued to the works, so hold points are released against your own criteria rather than a generic checklist. Updating the ITP pushes the change to every section immediately.
How are records tied to a location on a linear job?
Every inspection, photograph and level is recorded against a chainage and a structure or asset reference, so a record from month three is still usable in month twenty. Section progress and inspection coverage are then read straight off the alignment rather than reconciled from separate trackers.
Does it handle concrete pour records and test results?
Yes. Delivery tickets are photographed at the truck, cube references are logged against the pour, and results are attached when they come back from the lab. A query about strength is answered from the pour record rather than a filing cabinet.
Can we evidence environmental and consent conditions?
Yes. Daily environmental checks, permits to dig and traffic management inspections are logged with photographs, names and times. The register is ready to produce for the auditor, the client or the utility authority without assembling it first.
Does it work with no signal?
Yes. Everything is captured offline, including photographs and signatures, and syncs as soon as the device is back in range. Cuttings, tunnels and rural alignments are the normal case, not the exception.
Can the client and the designer see the record?
Yes. Setting out checks, hold points and photographs are visible to the parties you give access to the moment they are submitted, so the designer answers from evidence and the client sees the same record you do rather than a weekly summary of it.
How long does implementation take?
Days rather than months. Your ITPs and environmental checks are configured for you, the app runs on iOS, Android and web, and most contractors start on one section or structure before rolling out across the scheme.
