Overview
Lindesay Construction, a well-established firm, known for delivering high-end residential construction across New Zealand. With a workforce around 100 people. Before implementing SiteConnect, Lindesay Construction relied on paper-based systems for safety documentation and compliance tracking. As the company expanded, managing inductions, audits, and safety forms manually became inefficient and time-consuming.
Objectives
- Go Digital: Replace manual paperwork with an easy-to-use mobile platform.
- Custom Forms: Build tailored prestarts, toolbox talks, and audits to match internal processes.
- Real-time Tracking: Use QR and geofence sign-ins for attendance and emergency visibility.
- Centralise Training Records: Manage worker competencies and training certificates in one place.
- SSSP Automation: Create site-specific safety plans automatically for each project.
- Crane Coordination: Integrate Task Analysis and inductions for safe lifting operations.
- Management Engagement: Prove efficiency gains to drive buy-in and consistency.

Solution
Lindesay Construction selected SiteConnect for its mobile-first design, flexibility, and simplicity. After a successful trial across multiple active sites, the platform was adopted company-wide.
- Everything in One Place: SiteConnect brings inductions, audits, toolbox talks, and SSSPs together in one app. Workers complete everything digitally – no more printing or chasing forms.
- Custom Digital Forms: The team uses SiteConnect’s form builder to create project-specific templates, ensuring compliance without losing flexibility.
- Real-Time Oversight: QR and geofence sign-ins give managers live visibility of who’s on-site. Automatic reminders ensure safety activities never fall behind schedule.
- Training & Incident Management: All competencies, training records, and incidents are logged within SiteConnect, giving leadership a single source of truth for compliance and performance.
The system’s simplicity made it easy for crews to adopt, while management quickly recognised the time savings, improved engagement, and stronger accountability the platform delivered.
