KILL THE PAPERWORK.
AND THE WHATSAPP.
Banksman keeps tasks, drawings, timesheets, materials and site photos in one app your whole team will actually use, built by a working builder, not a software company that's never set foot on site.
- Four fields and you're straight into the real app, no card, ever
- The working app on real site data, not a video tour
- Speak to Dom or Matt: real people, no call centres
Your site runs on paper and group chats.
Everything the site needs. One app.
Manager dashboard
Who’s on site now, hours waiting for approval, deliveries on the way and how far along every site is, on one screen.
Worker dashboard
Each worker sees their own tasks and deadlines, ticks them off with a photo, and keeps the manager up to date without a phone call.
Timesheets
Daywork hours or price work per site or plot. The manager approves or queries with a reason, the worker fixes and resubmits. Grouped by week ending, CSV export, archived when paid.
Material requests
The worker asks for the item, quantity, unit and needed-by date. Tracked from requested to approved, ordered, dispatched and delivered (or declined), with supplier, order ref, expected delivery and a delivery photo.
Drawings for every site
Drawings on every phone, labelled by version, sorted by site and downloadable on site.
Photo library
Every photo is stamped with the upload time from our server, the site, the task and who took it. Location is optional, set by the company.
Site group chats and direct messages
A group chat for every site, plus direct messages, kept apart from your personal phone chats.
Health and safety documents with sign-off
Inductions, RAMS and safety procedures on every phone. Each worker reads and signs with their finger, a new revision asks everyone to sign again, and you see who has signed what.
Site sign-in with a location radius
Scan the QR poster to sign in and out. Set a radius for each site and sign-ins from further away get flagged, so no latecomers pulling the wool over your eyes. Location is checked at sign-in only, never tracked.
Accident and near-miss reports
Report an accident or near miss from the phone, with stamped photos, while it’s fresh. Only the person who reported it and the managers can see it.
Pull CSV files
Timesheets, tasks, materials, drawings and sites export straight to CSV for payroll, the accountant or head office.
The personal touch
Push notifications
Notifications go straight to the phone, so updates don’t sit unread.
Your logo and colours
Upload your logo and app icon and pick your colours from the settings, with a readability check as you go. The lads see your name, not ours.
Guided tour
A guided tour walks new users round the app the first time they log in.
Sites
Every site in one list, with its workers and active tasks. Export the lot to CSV.
Bigger text
Each person can switch to large or extra-large text, so it’s easy to read on site.
Labour cost per job
Approved hours times each worker’s rate, so you can see what a job is costing in labour.
Coming soon
CIS worker invoices
Invoices for CIS workers built from their approved timesheets.
Card and certificate expiry tracking
Keep track of CSCS, CPCS and other cards, and see what’s about to run out.
Plant pre-start checks
Daily pre-start checks for plant, done on the phone before the key goes in.
Offline mode
Saves your work when there’s no signal and syncs when you’re back in range.
Promote workers to run their own sites
Enterprise: give a trusted worker the running of their own sites, without making them a manager of the whole company.
Urgency on material requests
Mark a material request as urgent so the office knows what to chase first.

Straight answers.
What is Banksman?
Banksman is construction site management software for small and mid-size UK building firms. Tasks with photo proof, timesheets, material requests, drawings, site photos, site group chats, health and safety sign-offs, QR site sign-in and accident reports all live in one app for managers and workers.
How much does Banksman cost?
Starter is £89 a month for up to 10 users, Growth is £149 a month for up to 25 users and Enterprise is £299 a month for up to 75 users. All prices include VAT, every plan includes every feature, and there is no contract. The white label add-on is a one-off £999 inc. VAT on top of any plan.
Can I try Banksman before I pay?
Yes. The live demo is the real app on realistic sample data. Fill in four fields and your manager and worker logins appear straight away. There is no card and no sales call.
Do my workers need to download an app?
No app store is needed. Your team adds Banksman to their phone home screen and it opens like any other app, with push notifications so updates do not sit unread.
Can Banksman replace our WhatsApp groups?
Yes. Every site gets its own group chat, plus direct messages, kept apart from personal phone chats. Tasks, photos, hours, drawings and deliveries sit against the site too, so nothing gets buried in a group chat.
Who is Banksman for?
Builders, bricklayers, groundworkers, roofers, electricians, plumbers and subcontractors running one or more sites in the UK. It was built by Dom Keady, a bricklayer who runs his own building firm in Huddersfield.
Does Banksman help with health and safety?
Yes. Inductions, RAMS and COSHH assessments go on every phone for the team to read and sign with their finger, with a record of who has signed which revision. There is QR site sign-in with a fire roll call, and an accident and near-miss book with RIDDOR flags. Check your own legal duties with your H&S adviser.
Can I get my data out of Banksman?
Yes. Every table, including timesheets, tasks, materials and drawings, exports straight to CSV for payroll, the accountant or head office. The data your team puts in belongs to your company.
Does Banksman work without phone signal?
Not yet. Offline mode, which saves work with no signal and syncs when you are back in range, is being built and is marked "Coming soon" until it is live.
What is the difference between my logo and colours and the white label add-on?
Every plan lets you upload your logo and app icon and pick your colours. The white label add-on (£999 inc. VAT, one-off) goes further: three 1-on-1 calls with Dom and Matt, exclusive features built for your business, and a fully customised app.
Is there a contract or set-up fee?
No. You pay monthly and can cancel any time. Every plan includes an optional onboarding call: once you sign up, we email you a link to book a time with Dom or Matt.
