Workers request it
Workers pick a permit type on their phone, fill in your application form and add their crew. Multi-day permits can't run past the max number of days you set for that type.
Build
High-risk work approved, worker by worker
Permit to work software for managing construction site permits
Workers request hot works, working at heights or confined space permits from their phone. Your site manager checks each worker's tickets and approves the ones ready to go, and the start checklist is done before work begins. Every step stays on the permit.
Trusted by builders across the country
From custom-home builders to commercial head contractors, site teams use BuildPass to run their site permits.
Permit software helps builders and head contractors take permit to work requests from workers on their phone, check each worker's tickets, approve the work, and keep the start and close out checklists on record.
One permit process, from a worker's request all the way to close out
You approve it
Approve the workers who are ready, or reject with a message saying what to fix. The workers on the permit are notified either way.
Work starts on the checklist
Workers complete your start work checklist on their phone before work begins. Stop Work and Close Permit sit on the same screen for later.
How it works
Every live permit, in one view
See what's running, what needs review and who is on each permit, and act on one worker without holding up the rest.
Your forms for each permit type
Set the application, start work and close out forms for each permit type, plus the most days it can run. Permit types are shared across all your projects.
Tickets on the permit
Open any worker on a permit to see the tickets they already hold in BuildPass, with expiry dates and review status.
Close out worker by worker
Approve, start, suspend or close any selection of workers. Close out two of three and leave the third working.
Suspend for a fire ban
Suspend a permit with a message when conditions change, and resume it when they clear. The workers on it are notified.
Sign on before you start
Workers can't start work on a permit until they have signed on to site that day.
Re-request and export
Re-request a permit to raise it again for the next job, and export the list to CSV with each worker's status.

Permits, part of the whole job
A permit shows the tickets each worker already holds in BuildPass, and work can't start until the worker has signed on. The application, start work and close out forms use the same form builder as your checklists do.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Workers open Permits in the BuildPass app, choose the type and fill in your application form. You can limit who can request permits on each project with an authorised workers list.
Yes. Each permit type has its own application, start work and close out forms, built in the BuildPass form builder, and all three are optional. Permit types are shared across every project in your account.
You choose the admins for each project. Leave the list empty and every admin on that project is notified. Workers are told when their permit is approved, rejected, suspended or resumed.
Yes. Suspend the permit with a message and every worker on it is notified, then resume it when the ban lifts. BuildPass doesn't watch fire ban declarations for you, so someone on your team suspends it.
