Construction apps for UK firms running sites in more than one nation and region.

Codeeo provides construction app development UK contractors, housebuilders and property groups use to run every region on one system. We design and build field apps, office consoles and integrations that hold CDM 2015 records, Building Safety Act evidence, subcontractor compliance and progress data, while respecting that England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland do not regulate building work in the same way.

Codeeo is a team of 80+ based in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi with no UK office. We work with British clients remotely, holding discovery, reviews and demos by video call, which suits groups whose own people are already spread across regional offices.

Built for
Multi region contractors, housebuilders, housing groups, facilities and maintenance providers, and specialist trades that work across Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
Typical timeline
We set the timetable after discovery, once the first region, the first workflows and the rollout order are agreed in writing with your operations board.
What you own
All code, store listings, hosting, configuration for each region and all project and workforce data belong to your company.

National capabilities

One platform, with the rules of each nation built in.

A construction business working nationally deals with more than one rulebook. CDM 2015 applies across Great Britain and is enforced by the HSE, while Northern Ireland has its own CDM regulations enforced by HSENI. The higher-risk building regime of the Building Safety Act 2022, run by the Building Safety Regulator, covers England; Wales has its own arrangements, and Scotland grants building warrants through local authority verifiers under a separate building standards system. HMRC's Construction Industry Scheme and UK GDPR, overseen by the ICO, apply throughout.

A national app has to hold all of that without making every operative read rules that do not apply to their site. We build a common core of workflows and attach the rules by nation, region and project type. Construction management app development UK groups need is mostly about getting that structure right before any screen is drawn.

Explain your project
  • Regional rule sets

    Each project is tagged with its nation, local authority and building type. Inspection templates, approval routes, document requirements and notification steps follow from those tags, so a site in Glasgow and a site in Leeds use the same app but see the checks that apply to them. Adding a new nation or authority is a configuration task, not a rebuild.

    National consistency without forcing one region's rules on another.

  • CDM 2015 dutyholder records

    Client, principal designer and principal contractor appointments are recorded per project, with the construction phase plan, pre-construction information and health and safety file linked to them. The app tracks whether a project is notifiable to the HSE and whether the F10 notice has gone in.

    Dutyholder information that auditors can find in seconds.

  • Building safety evidence for England

    For higher-risk buildings in England, the app manages gateway submissions, controlled and major change records, mandatory occurrence reports and the golden thread information the Building Safety Regulator expects at completion, separated from ordinary site records.

    Higher-risk projects held to the standard the regime requires.

  • Subcontractor compliance

    Subcontractor firms are onboarded once for the whole group: company details checked against Companies House, insurance certificates with expiry dates, CIS verification status from your accounts system and accreditation records. Every region sees the same approved list.

    One supply chain record instead of one per region.

  • Workforce competence

    Operatives carry a single profile across all sites, with CSCS or equivalent cards, training and site inductions. Supervisors anywhere in the country can check competence before allocating a task, and expiring cards trigger reminders to the employer. Operatives moving between regions arrive already known to the system.

    Competence checked the same way on every site.

  • Progress and programme tracking

    Supervisors report progress by activity and location with photos, and the office compares it with the programme. Construction project tracking app development UK boards ask for brings this together across regions, so a director sees which projects are slipping and why.

    Group wide progress based on site evidence.

  • Applications for payment and notices

    Subcontractors submit applications for payment with measured quantities and photo evidence. The commercial team assesses them, and the app tracks the payment notice and pay less notice dates that the Housing Grants, Construction and Regeneration Act 1996 sets through the contract, so no deadline passes unnoticed in a busy region.

    Valuations backed by evidence and notices issued on time.

  • Accessible resident and client screens

    Where homeowners, tenants or clients use the app, screens are designed to WCAG 2.2 AA, with clear language, sufficient contrast and support for screen readers and larger text sizes. This matters for housing groups with duties under the Equality Act 2010 and residents of every age.

    Public facing screens that more people can actually use.

  • Defects and aftercare

    Homebuyers, tenants and clients report defects with photos after completion. Reports route to the right region and contractor, response times are measured and closed items carry evidence, giving housebuilders and housing groups a national view of aftercare.

    Aftercare measured the same way in every region.

  • Group reporting and data exports

    Safety, quality, progress and supply chain data rolls up into group dashboards, with exports to Power BI or your data warehouse for board packs, client reports and tender submissions that ask for evidence of performance.

    Board reporting without month end spreadsheet assembly.

Who this is for

Four types of UK business that need a national construction app.

National construction businesses tend to grow by adding regions, often by acquisition, and each region keeps its own forms, spreadsheets and habits. That works until the board wants comparable data, a client wants the same standard everywhere or a regulator asks for records that turn out to live in one person's inbox. The four profiles below are where a national app usually pays for itself. Each begins with a different first release and a different rollout order.

01

Contractors with several regional offices

Your North West, Midlands and South East businesses each run sites differently. A shared platform with regional rule sets gives the group one safety, quality and progress picture while letting regions keep the local detail that genuinely differs. Rollout usually starts with one region and one workflow, then expands office by office. Acquired businesses can be brought onto the platform with their own rule set rather than forced to change everything on day one.

Roll out region by region, not all at once.

02

Housebuilders working across England, Scotland and Wales

Plot inspections, build stage sign off, customer handover and aftercare must follow different building control routes in each nation. The app holds a single plot record from groundworks to the end of the warranty period, with the national differences handled in configuration rather than in separate systems. Site managers moving between developments in different nations keep the same app and simply see different checks.

One plot record from slab to aftercare.

03

Housing groups and maintenance providers

You manage repairs, planned works and building safety across thousands of homes in many local authority areas. The app connects residents, surveyors, contractors and the building safety team, and for higher-risk buildings in England it supports the information duties held by the accountable person. Resident screens follow accessibility standards, because many tenants rely on assistive technology or prefer simple layouts.

Repairs, compliance and resident contact together.

04

Specialist trades with national clients

Fire protection, facade, lift, MEP and modular specialists work for many main contractors across the country. A field app that captures evidence of installation, test results and certificates in a consistent format makes it easier to meet each client's demands and to win repeat work. Evidence can be exported in the format each main contractor requests, without rekeying.

Consistent evidence for every main contractor.

How we plan and deliver a UK wide construction app.

  1. 01Group discoveryVideo sessions with operations, health and safety, commercial and IT leads, plus one site team from each region, to map how work is done today and where it differs.
  2. 02Common core and rule setsWe separate what every region shares from what changes by nation or authority, and design the data model so new rules, regions and project types can be added later without rebuilding the app.
  3. 03Design and accessibilityField screens built for outdoor use and offline work, office consoles for planners and managers, and public screens checked against WCAG 2.2 before development begins.
  4. 04Build and integrateSprint based development with demos, connecting to your ERP, payroll, document control and identity systems so staff sign in with the accounts they already have.
  5. 05First region liveOne region and a small set of workflows go live first. We measure adoption, fix problems quickly and refine training material and configuration before the next region joins the platform.
  6. 06National rolloutRegions move across in an agreed order, each with its own configuration, while a support retainer covers updates, new regulations and new features.

Technology

What we build this with.

We build cross platform mobile apps for iOS and Android, a browser based console and an API layer for your other systems. Hosting sits in a UK cloud region where required, with single sign on through your identity provider and audit logs across the platform. Offline storage keeps field forms working on remote sites in the Highlands or rural Wales where signal is patchy.

Questions UK construction businesses ask us.

It depends on scope, integrations and the number of regions in the first release.

We do not publish prices because two construction apps rarely share the same scope. The main cost drivers are the workflows included, the number of user roles, integrations with ERP, payroll and document control, offline requirements and data migration. A first release for one region with a few workflows costs far less than a group platform built at once. We price each phase from a written scope agreed in discovery.
