Site Ready: a compliance register for demolition and construction firms

Built and tested·First installs from October 2026·No charge

Site Ready keeps every date that stops a demolition job or loses a tender: operative cards, plant examinations, company certificates and the notices before a job starts. It shows what is out of date today, writes to the person who looks after each date before it runs out, and sends the director one summary on Monday morning. It runs in your own Microsoft 365, and I set it up with you on a Teams call at no charge.

Site Ready on a laptop, the Today screen of a sample demolition firm: 62% of dated items in date, 5 expired, 10 due in the next 30 days, with an expired scrap metal dealer's licence and an overdue LOLER examination at the top of the list

What it keeps

That is 64 kinds of card, examination, certificate and notice for Great Britain. Each one carries its rule, the reason the date is what it is, and a link to where the rule comes from.

How it works

  1. Today. One figure for the share of dated items in date, four tiles (expired, due in 30 days, renewal open, no date yet) and the list of what needs attention this week.
  2. Reminders. The person who looks after a date gets a mail a month before it runs out, a week before and on the day. Each mail lists only their items.
  3. The Monday summary. The director gets one mail every Monday: the figure against last week, what has expired, what falls due in the next 30 days and which job notices are due.
  4. Renewed. When a card or certificate is renewed, you record the new one: its expiry date fills in from the rule, the old one stays in the history, and the reminders start again.
  5. Your spreadsheet. Paste the rows of the spreadsheet you keep today. Every row is checked before anything is written, and a row it cannot read is left out with the reason.

The rules behind the dates

Each date was read on its primary source: the statute, the regulator or the scheme that issues the card. Where a rule is a scheme's own or guidance rather than law, the app says so beside the date. Four examples:

The notices before the start of a sample job: a Section 80 demolition notice 7 days too late, Section 61 prior consent to serve within 7 days, and a scaffold or hoarding licence within 21 days, each with the reason for its date

Your data stays with you

What it needs

Where it stands

Built in September and October 2026 and tested on a sample demolition firm of 12 people, 6 machines, 2 jobs and 43 dated items, with automated checks of every screen at phone, tablet and laptop width, as two different users. First installs at firms from October 2026. It covers Great Britain: England, Wales and Scotland.

Questions firms ask

Is Site Ready free?

Yes. I set it up with you on a Teams call at no charge. There is no subscription: the lists, the app and the flows sit in your own Microsoft 365 and stay yours.

Does it work in Scotland?

Yes. Each job carries its nation, and the notices follow it: the Section 80 demolition notice applies in England and Wales, a building warrant for demolition in Scotland.

Can we bring our spreadsheet?

Yes. Paste the rows of the spreadsheet you keep today. Every row is checked before anything is written, and a row it cannot read is left out with the reason, so nothing arrives half right.

Do operatives need a Microsoft licence?

No. Operatives are rows in the register, not users. The office, the directors and the supervisors who open the app need a Microsoft 365 plan that includes Power Apps, such as Business Basic or Business Standard.

What happens to our data if we stop using it?

Nothing leaves your tenant. The lists stay on your SharePoint site, where you can read, export or delete them like any other list.

Something here sounds familiar?

Half an hour on Teams, no charge. You describe the process that eats your week, and I tell you what I would build first and roughly what it would take.
