Fit Out

Sixteen weeks, no room for a paper chase

Insite keeps a fit-out programme honest: quality captured room by room, snags assigned the moment they are found, and a handover pack that is complete on the day the client walks the floor.

The reality

A short programme punishes a slow record

Six trades on one floor, a client walking it every Friday and a completion date that will not move. The information exists, it is just on a clipboard in someone’s van. Your specialist trades each keep their own version.

Snags collected on a clipboard

The list is typed up that evening, issued the next morning and half of it is already out of date.

Six trades, six versions of ready

Nobody agrees which rooms are released, so the next trade turns up to a floor that is not theirs yet.

Handover assembled in the last week

Certificates and sign-offs are chased while the client is already booking the move-in.

The client sees the problem first

Defects surface on the Friday walk instead of when the work was done on Tuesday.

Snagging

The floor, room by room, live

Every room on one board with its open items, so you can see where the floor actually is instead of reading last night’s typed-up list.

Trade coordination

Everyone knows which rooms are released

Rooms released to the next trade only when the check is signed, so the M&E team and the finishing trades are not tripping over each other.

Release gated by a signed check

Visible to every trade on the floor

Out of hours

Night shifts recorded like day shifts

Work in occupied buildings evidenced with the same checks, permits and photographs, so the main contractor and the building manager see one record.

Client walks

Nothing on the walk that you did not know about

The client’s list and your own are the same list, so the Friday walk confirms progress instead of generating a fortnight of work.

Frequently asked questions

What is construction software for fit-out contractors?
It is one system for the records a fit-out programme produces: room checks, pre-closure photographs, snags, permits for occupied buildings, commissioning evidence and the handover pack. Insite captures each of those on a phone in the room and holds them against the room and the trade.
Can it keep up with a sixteen week programme?
Yes. Checks, snags and permits are raised on a phone at the work face and appear on the board immediately, so nothing waits for an evening typing session. Rooms move from open to signed to released on the day the work happens, and the day board updates itself from what has actually been signed off rather than from the week one plan.
How does room-by-room snagging work?
Every room on the floor has its own place on the board. A snag is raised in the room, pinned to that room and assigned to the trade responsible, with a photograph attached. Anyone can see how many items are open per room and which rooms are cleared, so you read the floor room by room instead of working from a list that was typed up last night.
Do client walk items go into the same list?
Yes. Items raised on the client walk are logged against the room alongside your own snags, so there is one list rather than two. Each item is closed out with photographic evidence and the live count is visible before the walk, which means the Friday walk confirms progress instead of generating a fortnight of work.
Can we evidence out-of-hours work in occupied buildings?
Night and weekend shifts are recorded with the same checks, permits and photographs as day shifts. Permits are signed at the point of issue, condition photographs are taken before and after the shift, and the record is visible to the main contractor and the building manager, so occupier impact is evidenced rather than disputed.
Does it work with no signal?
Yes. The app works offline in risers, basements, plant rooms and lift shafts. Checks, photographs and snags are captured on the device and sync automatically once it is back in signal, so nobody has to walk out of the building to record what they have just done.
How does the handover pack come together?
It builds as the work happens. Room checks, pre-closure photographs, commissioning records, certificates and design team sign-offs are filed against the room, the floor or the demise as they are completed, so the pack is assembled by completion rather than chased in the last week. Outstanding items are visible before the client walks the floor, and the pack exports as a PDF per floor or per demise.
How quickly can we start on a live job?
Days. Your check sheets are configured for you, training fits inside one toolbox talk, and most fit-out teams are live on the current floor within a week. There is no need to wait for the next project to start.
