For coordinators

Reviewing clashes, building safety reports, importing permits and managing contractors.

Coordinators run the day-to-day safety picture for a site. This section is being written — the headings below outline what it will cover.

Reviewing clashes

The platform detects where overlapping work areas, plant and people are about to collide and ranks them by severity. Walk the noticeboard, accept or set aside each one.

Building a safety report

The report wizard ranks the day's clash scenes and lets you accept the ones worth surfacing, then renders a branded PDF or DOCX for the coordination meeting.

Importing work permits

Permit spreadsheets drive entity creation: selecting a permit pre-fills the work areas, schedules and contractors so the plan matches what was actually approved.

Importing DXF floor plans

The Imports panel's DXF Floor Plans flow turns one georeferenced CAD drawing into a floor plan per selected building and level. By default each building's linework is extracted as a native vector plan — crisp at every zoom, restyleable without re-import. A raster fallback toggle bakes a fixed-resolution image instead; use it for drawings that extract badly.

  • Drawing coordinate system — an EPSG code, defaulting to 27700 (OSGB36 / British National Grid). When the DXF carries embedded geodata the field pre-fills automatically. Drawings in local, unreferenced coordinates can't be imported here; export an image and place it with the floor-plan image upload instead.
  • Initial visibility — on the vector path everything is always extracted; the profile (everything visible, walls, no annotations) only decides which drawing layers start visible. The default shows everything. On the raster fallback the same control acts as the classic layer preset and does gate what is baked into the image.
  • Window padding — how far past each building's outline the import reaches (default 10 m), so protruding grid lines and reference annotations survive.

Progress is tracked per building; re-running with Replace existing floor plans ticked overwrites plans that already exist at the selected level.

Managing contractors and oversight

Contractors are colour-coded teams. Oversight relationships decide which teams a supervising contractor can see and act on across the site.
