Stay compliant

Check your subbies' insurance before they are on your site

If a subcontractor's public liability has lapsed, it is your problem the moment something happens. Gaffer holds each subcontractor's insurers, cover limits and expiry dates alongside their health and safety policy status — so the check happens before the job, not after the incident.

Replaces carbonless pads, a filing cabinet and a scanner. Nothing is lost or illegible, and every expiry date comes back to you as work.

Step 04 of the job: on site

The engineer taps "On my way" and the customer gets a text with an arrival window. On site: clock in, photos, the certificate for the job — EICR, Gas Safety, whatever the trade needs — signed on the device. No signal? It syncs later.

Subcontractor compliance is one part of that step. The rest of the job — quoting, scheduling, certificates, invoicing and payment — runs in the same system, on the same record. See the whole job →

About subcontractor compliance

Does subcontractor compliance work on a phone, and offline?

Yes. The mobile app is offline-first: records created on site are stored on the device and synced automatically, in order, when signal returns. Lofts, plant rooms and rural sites were the design brief.
