Why construction firms choose PaperTrail

Construction projects generate enormous volumes of documentation - drawings, specifications, RFIs, method statements, and subcontractor certificates. When this information is scattered across email threads and shared drives, things get missed and compliance suffers.

PaperTrail gives construction teams a single platform to manage every document, stakeholder, and deadline across all their sites - whether you're a main contractor or a specialist sub.

Site document control

Manage drawings, specifications, and method statements with full version control. Everyone on site works from the latest approved documents, reducing errors caused by outdated information.

RFIs and submittals

Subcontractor management

Manage subcontractor documentation, insurance certificates, and compliance records in one place. Automated expiry alerts ensure nothing lapses, keeping your sites compliant at all times.

Progress reporting

Capture site progress with photos, notes, and percentage completions. Generate client-ready reports automatically from your project data, saving hours of manual report writing each week.

Health & safety records

Log site inspections, near-misses, and safety observations digitally. Build a safety culture with data-driven insights and trend reporting that helps you identify risks before they become incidents.

Project handover

Compile O&M manuals, as-built drawings, warranties, and certificates into complete handover packs. One click generates a fully compliant handover package that meets client and regulatory requirements.

Common challenges PaperTrail solves

Working from outdated drawings

PaperTrail ensures every team member always accesses the current approved version, with automatic notifications when new revisions are issued.

Subcontractor compliance gaps

Centralise all subcontractor documentation with automated expiry alerts, so you know immediately when insurance certificates or CSCS cards need renewing.

Slow stakeholder approvals

Automated approval workflows route documents to the right people with deadline reminders, cutting sign-off times from weeks to days.

Handover documentation chaos

PaperTrail collects handover documentation throughout the project lifecycle, so when it's time to hand over, everything is already in one place.
