SiteRecord

Site photo evidence built for UK Building Control — in market and serving contractors today.

Building inspectors now require timestamped, GPS-tagged photographic evidence at every stage. Your trades are sending photos via WhatsApp and nobody can find anything when the inspector asks.

SiteRecord fixes this. Three steps, zero friction.

1

Set up a job

Create a job, upload your floor plans. Arqor generates a unique QR code for each site.

2

Trades scan & snap

No app download. No account. Trades scan the QR, take photos, pin to floor plans, add notes. Everything timestamped and GPS-tagged automatically. Works offline.

3

You see everything

Dashboard, floor plan view, timeline, grid, map. Share a read-only link with your inspector or client. Generate PDF reports with one tap.

Set up jobs and manage your team on desktop. Capture on any phone. Same account, same login.

Part L

Part L photo evidence, done right. Free.

The official Appendix B checklist, numbered the way Building Control reads it. GPS and time on every photo. Your trades scan a QR code — no app, no account. Export the pack free, on every plan.

It’s how a new home gets signed off.

Since June 2022, Approved Document L asks for a photo of each of 13 typical details on every new home, named by plot and detail number. The energy assessor reviews them for the as-built BREL report, and Building Control accepts the report with the photos as the evidence of compliance — without them, sign-off can be held up. The 2026 edition, from the Future Homes Standard, adds heat-pump pipework and the hot water cylinder for work notified from 24 March 2027.

1 Ground floor 1a–1c
2 Walls 2a–2b

Twelve things that matter. Nothing else.

Workers

Workers, on the record.

The work they do is the site record. Now they own their part of it.

Most site software treats workers as anonymous QR scanners. SiteRecord still works that way if that’s what you need — scan, snap, done. But workers can also create a free account, install the PWA, and bring their work history with them.

🪪

One identity, every site

Sign in once. Work across multiple sites and multiple companies without re-scanning, re-registering, or re-explaining who you are.

📂

Your work, your record

Photos you've taken, sites you've worked, jobs you've contributed to — visible to you, owned by you. A portable record that follows you across employers.

🆓

Free, forever

Workers never pay. Companies pay for SiteRecord access; workers get a permanent account at no cost. Always.

Identity is optional. The QR code still works for anyone who wants the simplest path. Invited workers get a single-tap link — open the email, tap, you’re in. Free accounts are for workers ready to be seen.

For Solo Trades

For solo trades.

Sole trader or small team — SiteRecord protects your business every day. Photo evidence, dispute defence, compliance documentation, faster payment.

🛡️

Insurance claims

Timestamped, GPS-tagged photos prove your work was done correctly. When a claim comes in, you've got the evidence ready.

⚖️

Dispute protection

Customer says the work wasn't done? Before-and-after photos with dates and locations settle it fast.

📜

Part P & Gas Safe

Electrical and gas work needs documented evidence. SiteRecord gives you a compliance-ready photo log for every job.

💷

Get paid faster

Share a photo link with your client showing exactly what was done. No arguments, no delays — just proof of work.

FAQ

Common questions

Is there really a free version? +

Yes — SiteRecord Free, no card required. You get up to 3 active jobs, 1 GB of storage, unlimited site team members via QR, GPS-tagged photos, floor plan pinning, the Part L evidence pack export and offline sync. Premium tools — PDF reports, Before/After tagging, Markup, live inspector and SAP assessor links, and team management — are unlocked for the first 14 days from your first photo, and on SiteRecord.

What happens after the 14-day trial? +

Nothing. We don't auto-charge, ever — there's no card on file. You drop back to SiteRecord Free and keep everything you've already captured. When you're ready for premium tools, pick a plan in Settings.

Do I need to enter card details to start? +

No. Sign up with email, get a 6-digit code, you're in. No card, no commitment. Card details are only needed if you pick a paid plan.

What's the difference between free and paid? +

Free covers the photo log and the Part L pack — capture, pin, export, store, sync. SiteRecord adds the live side: inspector and SAP assessor links that update as you work, PDF reports, Before/After pairing, and the markup tool for annotating captured photos. Links you shared during your trial keep working.

What if I hit the 3 active job cap on free? +

Close a job to start another, or upgrade. Closed jobs stay searchable forever; the cap is on what's open at once, not what you've ever done. Paid plans remove the cap entirely.

What counts toward storage? +

Photos and floor plans only — no metadata, no audit log, no comments. Original-quality photos are downsized to 2048 px WebP on upload to keep counts predictable. Free starts at 1 GB. SiteRecord includes 10 GB — around 9,900 photos at our measured average — and you can add 5 GB at a time for £5 a month whenever you need it, so a busy year never hits a wall.

Do my trades need to download an app? +

No, and that is the point — a trade should never be the reason a job goes unrecorded. Trades scan a QR code and start taking photos in the browser: no account, no app store, no setup, and that stays true whatever else we ship. Workers who want a portable record of their own can install it to the home screen in two taps today, and native iOS and Android apps are in testing now — for the lads who want background location and push, never as a hoop anyone has to jump through.

Should I use the desktop or the mobile version? +

Both — they're the same account, built for different jobs. Use desktop (or a laptop) to set up jobs, upload floor plans, manage your team and pull reports — it's quicker on a bigger screen. Use mobile on site to capture photos: your team scans the QR or taps a link, and photos come timestamped, geo-stamped and pinned to the plan. Set up on desktop, capture on mobile.

Is my data safe? +

Yes. All data is cloud-hosted, encrypted in transit and at rest, GDPR compliant, and backed up daily. Photos carry a server-set upload time that can't be backdated, and each GPS reading is labelled by its source.

What about the other products — when do they ship? +

SiteRecord is live and in daily use. Arqor Office — customers, quotes, invoices, scheduling, timekeeping, and tickets, certs and H&S — is running with design partner firms now and opens to everyone soon — pricing announced at launch — with 5 AI-drafted quotes a month and 3 more per extra seat — finished quotes, not drafts, so redrafting one until it is right is still one. Arqor for Architects follows Office, with 10 AI schedules of works a month and 3 more per seat; its pricing is announced when it opens. On both, extra documents beyond the allowance are priced at roughly what they cost us to run. Nothing carries a date — we'd rather ship than promise.
