SiteTour Diary · Mobile + web dashboard Early access
A site diary that holds up.
Voice-first daily diaries for UK civil engineering — completed in under five minutes at end of shift, timestamped, tamper-evident, and ready for NEC4 and JCT claims.
01 · The problem
The Friday catch-up is destroying your evidence.
Most site diaries are written days after the fact — scribbled into a Word template on Friday afternoon from memory and a few photos. The moment a record stops being contemporaneous, it stops being reliable evidence. Under NEC4 and JCT, that's the difference between a substantiated claim and an argument.
On a typical £1M infrastructure project, poor daily records leave tens of thousands of pounds of legitimate variation claims unrecovered. The diary isn't admin — it's the evidence base for every compensation event, extension of time, and defects dispute on the job.
02 · Capture
Five minutes, gloves on.
The diary mirrors the paper template engineers already know — weather, site hours, lettered activities, labour, plant, deliveries, visitors, H&S events, delays — so there's no retraining. Speak or type into any field; dictation runs on-device where the phone supports it, and the app tells you honestly when it doesn't.
- Voice or typed on every field — mic streams a live transcript; typing always works.
- Offline-first — every edit autosaves locally and syncs when you're back in signal.
- Structured weather in one tap — temperature, wind speed, and rainfall in mm for the project location, AM and PM.
- Photos with provenance — captioned, timestamped, GPS-tagged on capture.
- Review & sign — validation catches gaps, a typed signature submits, and the record locks permanently.
03 · Defensibility
Tamper-evident by design.
A diary that can be quietly edited after the fact is legally worthless. Every entry in SiteTour Diary is protected by a hash-chained audit log: each create, edit, photo, and submission is cryptographically chained to the one before it, so changing any historical record breaks every link after it — visibly. Submitted entries are locked; the audit trail is re-verifiable on demand from the dashboard.

- NEC4 · Clause 11.2(23) Daily labour records that substantiate Defined Cost claims.
- NEC4 · Clause 60.1(13) Structured meteorological data — temperature, wind, rainfall in mm — not "rainy".
- JCT Substantiation for extension of time and loss & expense claims.
- BSA 2022 · Golden thread Electronic, unalterable, structured records — the direction all UK construction record-keeping is heading.
- Limitation Act 1980 Records retained and exportable for the 6–12 year claim window.
04 · The dashboard
See every project. Chase no one.
Project managers get a portfolio view built around one question: has today's diary been done? The coverage strip shows submitted, draft, and missing days per project at a glance — the "who hasn't done their diary" view that kills the Friday catch-up for good.
- Portfolio overview — live projects, diaries submitted today, gaps flagged in red.
- Entry review — the full diary with author, signature, submission time, and a live audit-chain verification badge.
- Legal-grade PDF — print a signed, timestamped record for the claim file.
- Markdown export — structured, AI-ready output; export one entry or a whole project date range as a single corpus.
05 · SiteTour Attend — included
Who was on site? Proven, not estimated.
Every project gets a QR sign-in sheet. Workers scan it at the gate with their own phone — no app, one tap on return visits, induction confirmed before they can sign in as working. One tap in the diary pulls the day's verified attendance straight into the labour log, and the sign-in record travels with every export as evidence.
How Attend works →06 · Pricing
One price per project. Everyone on site included.
Flat per-project pricing — not per user. No "Foreman Tax", no rationing logins to one admin. Site teams, and workers signing in through Attend, are all included. Early-access tiers start at £25/month.
SiteTour Diary is in early access with UK civils teams now. Registering interest gets you onto the beta list — no commitment, no card.
