Tackling construction site challenges with BuildPass: insights from The Tool Shed Podcast

At BuildPass, our mission is to simplify site management and enhance safety for builders. Recently, our founder, Matt Perrott, joined The ToolShed Podcast to share how BuildPass addresses the everyday pain points of construction and empowers builders with smarter, more efficient processes.

The pain points of construction site management

BuildPass was born out of real-world frustrations. Through countless conversations with mates in the construction industry, it became clear that many builders were struggling with outdated tools, endless paperwork, and disconnected apps. These inefficiencies created unnecessary stress, wasted time, and made managing smaller construction sites even harder.

The BuildPass platform is designed to tackle these challenges head-on, streamlining defect management, improving safety compliance, and centralising site operations. Builders no longer have to juggle countless emails, word documents, or spreadsheets. Instead, they get a single, intuitive tool that takes the hassle out of site management.

Harnessing AI to transform site operations

We believe in using technology to make builders’ lives easier. That’s why BuildPass incorporates cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) to automate tedious and time-consuming tasks. Here are just a few ways we leverage AI to create a seamless user experience:

• Effortless defect management: Simply snap a photo, and BuildPass takes care of the rest—assigning the issue to the right subcontractor and generating a report automatically.
• Voice-to-text site diaries: Capture daily updates hands-free, so you can focus on what matters most.
• Instant form generation: Need a scaffold inspection checklist? Our platform can generate it for you in seconds.

Our goal is simple: to help builders spend less time on admin and more time doing what they love.
