SHAPE FOR JOBSITE DOCUMENTATION
Reliable site records,
captured as work happens
Build an auditable history of all site events from your teams' everyday communication on site.

LEADING CONTRACTORS USE SHAPE TO CAPTURE COMPLETE, DEFENSIBLE SITE RECORDS
THE PROBLEM IS...
You're missing the records you need to protect your business
Site reporting is inconsistent
Daily reporting is a time-consuming task for your site team, so they don't get completed consistently and critical details go missing.
Records are incomplete when you need them
When a dispute arises or you need to substantiate change, you discover the evidence you're looking for was never captured or is too vague to be useful.
Evidence is scattered and disconnected
Photos, notes, and reports exist across messages, emails, and paper records. Nothing connects to your schedule or tells a complete story.
Get consistent site records, no matter who’s on shift
Skip the forms. Capture records from site chats.
Your site teams communicate, raise issues, and log progress through a simple messaging app. All conversations, photos, issues, and progress updates automatically get structured into your project records.

See who’s logging quality records and who isn’t
See exactly who's capturing detailed issues and progress, and who isn't. Each record gets a completeness score, so you can address gaps proactively. When you need evidence for disputes, payment applications, or claims, it's already there.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. This is why most other record-keeping systems fail. Field teams hate filling out complex and additional forms. If they don't use the tool, your records are incomplete.
Shape is built differently. It makes record-keeping a byproduct of daily site work.
- A foreman communicates about a problem in Channels. That becomes a timestamped record.
- A site manager logs today's progress in Shift Manager. Yesterday's report pre-fills, so they just update what changed.
- Someone flags a blocker in Issue Tracker on their phone in seconds. Photo, location, responsible party, done.
The site team uses simple tools to get their work done, and the platform automatically builds your project records from that activity.
Shape captures a complete picture of site activity:
- Daily records captured through Shift Manager: Progress on scheduled work, downtime events with reasons, and resource allocations. Reports pre-fill from the previous day, making them quick to complete.
- Issue records captured through Issue Tracker: Problems blocking work with photos, affected locations, responsible parties, discussion threads, and resolution status. Everything is timestamped and tracked.
- Communication records captured through Channels: Conversations, photos, and decisions get saved with full context, not scattered across WhatsApp or email.
Everything links to your schedule activities and project locations, giving you a complete timeline of what happened and when.
Shape includes built-in quality monitoring that shows you documentation completeness across your team. You see who's capturing detailed records and who needs coaching. Each record gets a completeness score based on required information. This means you can identify and fix gaps proactively, not when it's too late.
Yes. Shape organises all your site records so they're ready to export when you need them. You can pull together everything related to a specific situation. These exports are structured chronologically with complete context, not just a dump of data. They're organized in a format ready to submit for payment applications, change claims, or dispute resolution. You're providing a clear timeline of what happened, when, and who was involved, backed by photos and documentation.
No. Many contractors use Shape just for the pieces they're missing.
If you have scheduling tools but struggle getting information from site, use Channels and Shift Manager. If your issue tracking is weak, add Issue Tracker. Shape fills the gaps without forcing you to replace what already works.
The key is that Shape's tools are built for field adoption. Even if you have other systems, if field teams aren't using them consistently, you're not getting the records you need. Shape ensures records actually get created because the tools fit how site teams work.
The best way to get data for a claim is to have a robust, "bulletproof" audit trail that is automatically built in real time. With a platform like Shape, all records, from time-stamped photos to daily reports and conversations, are centralised and linked to a potential change event. This means you can find and compile the records you need for a change order orThe main difference is where the record starts. Other systems like Procore or Autodesk are built for the back-office. They focus on document control and storage after records are created. They're great for filing, but they often fail to get full site adoption.
Shape is field-first. We guarantee you get records because site teams actually use the simple tools to do their daily work. We ensure records are created when events happen, not reconstructed weeks later from memory. If your field teams aren't consistently using your current system, you don't have a filing problem, you have a capture problem. Shape solves capture first, then organises everything automatically.
