Site Records, Signed Off.
Baselign gives contractors and site managers one place to capture site inspections, quality checks and snagging lists with photo evidence and sign-off, so the paperwork keeps pace with the build.
What The Regulations Require
In Great Britain, construction health and safety is governed by the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015), which place duties on clients, designers, principal contractors and contractors. HSE guidance, including L153 'Managing health and safety in construction', sets out what each duty holder is expected to do. In practice, that means being able to show how site arrangements were planned, monitored and reviewed, which is why dated inspection records, photographs and follow-up actions matter. Quality inspections and snagging lists are usually driven by the contract rather than by regulation, but they depend on the same discipline of clear, dated evidence. Baselign keeps those records organised and exportable, while what your duties require remains a matter for your own judgement and professional advice.
Where Compliance Breaks Down
The recurring pain points teams in this space run into without a single system of record.
Inspection paperwork lives on clipboards
Paper checklists get damp, lost or typed up days later, so the record of what was actually seen on site is thin when someone asks for it.
Snag lists drift between people
Defects noted in a notebook, a text message or a photo on someone's phone are easy to lose, and it's hard to say who owns each item or whether it was closed.
Evidence is hard to link together
Photos, sign-offs and follow-up work end up in different places, so showing that an issue was found, fixed and checked takes time to reconstruct.
Clients want visibility without the phone calls
Clients and their representatives ask for progress and completion evidence, and answering by email chains and ad hoc PDFs takes site teams away from the work.
Everything You Need, In One Platform
From day-to-day job management through to compliance, training and billing.
Forms & Inspections
Build site health and safety inspection, quality check and snagging forms with required fields, photo, video and audio capture, signature fields and a location picker, starting from industry templates if you prefer.
Work Orders
Raise and assign remedial work to the right person, track it through Assigned, In Progress and Completed, and use recurring work orders to schedule regular site inspections. A Final Sign Off toggle marks work that needs a closing sign-off.
Client & Site Management
Keep each client and site on record with GPS location, site contacts, notes and documents, so every inspection and snag is tied to the right project.
Client Access
Give clients their own login to see their work orders and view or download completed forms and reports. Internal costs, notes and documents are never shown to them.
Team Communication
Real-time team messages keep site managers, supervisors and trades in step on what has been found and who is picking it up.
Task Coordination
Task lists with assignees, priorities, due dates, comments and attachments help you chase outstanding actions that don't need a full work order.
Client Billing
Built to order for Enterprise teams: connects completed site work to client invoicing, shaped around how you charge.
AI Automation
Built to order for Enterprise teams: summarises inspection findings and highlights recurring defect patterns across sites, shaped around your own reporting.
A Typical Workflow
A recurring work order is created for each site's regular inspection, with the right inspection form attached and an inspector assigned.
On site, the inspector completes the form on a phone or tablet, adding photos, notes and a signature, even where there is no signal.
Defects found are assigned as work orders to the responsible contractor, who records the fix and marks the work complete.
The completed form and work order history are available to export as PDF or CSV, and visible to the client through their portal.
