FORGE Command is the on-site record book for UK construction site managers and foremen. Keep your daily site diary, snag lists, RAMS and audits in one place, on the phone that is already in your pocket, for a single one-time price with no monthly subscription. Every day on site produces evidence you may need later: what happened, who was on, what got delivered, what went wrong, what got fixed. FORGE Command captures it as you go, so when a client, a main contractor or an inspector asks, you have the record. What FORGE Command does: - Daily site diary: log labour, plant, deliveries, weather and progress in seconds - Snag lists and defects: raise, photograph, track and close out issues - RAMS: keep your risk assessments and method statements attached to the job - Site audits and inspections: run consistent checks and keep the results - Records you can retrieve: a clear history of the job, not scraps of paper Built for the UK trade: - Site managers and foremen running one or several sites - Small and mid-size contractors who want their records in order - Fit-out, refurbishment and groundworks teams keeping their own site diary - Anyone tired of paper diaries, lost photos and half-finished snag sheets Why site managers choose FORGE Command: - One-time price. Pay once, own it, no recurring bill - Fast enough to actually use on site, mid-job, with dirty hands - Everything about the job in one app instead of five - A tidy, defensible record when questions come later FORGE Command is a record-keeping and site-management tool. You remain responsible for the accuracy of what you log and for meeting your own site's regulatory obligations. Download FORGE Command and keep your site, your records and your snags under control.

Built by a UK site manager for the people who run sites. Walk the job, say what you see, and FieldRadar turns it into snag records, diary entries, inspections and client-ready reports, even with no signal. TALK, DON'T TYPE Tap Talk and speak. FieldRadar types it for you, and on a snag it drafts the whole record (title, priority, location and who should fix it) for you to check. Works on records, diaries, inspections and permits. SNAGS ON THE DRAWING Pin defects, safety issues and tasks exactly where they are on your plans, with photos, mark-ups, due dates and the subcontractor responsible. A SITE DIARY THAT FILLS ITSELF Today's photos and actions are pulled into the daily diary. Add labour, deliveries, visitors and delays, then export a branded PDF. WEEKLY H&S CHECKS, PERMITS AND INSPECTIONS Weekly health and safety checks, hot works, permit to dig, work at height, scaffold and fire door checks, with pass/fail answers, photo evidence and sign-off on site. Failed items become actions for the right trade. CLIENT-READY REPORTS Weekly client updates, open-action lists and evidence packs as professional PDFs with your logo, in a couple of taps.
