How Reidy Contracting Group Raises the Bar for NYC Construction Safety with BuildPass

Raising the Bar for Construction Safety in New York‍

Reidy Contracting Group builds across one of the most demanding construction markets in the world — New York City.

With more than 85 active commercial projects running at once, hundreds of subcontractors on site, and strict NYC construction compliance requirements to meet daily, clarity isn't optional. It's operational.

Safety has always been central to how Reidy works. When the team began evaluating BuildPass in 2025, they weren't looking to build a safety culture from scratch — they already had one. They were looking for a platform that could keep pace with it.

In September 2025, Reidy rolled out BuildPass across its portfolio. Not to reinvent how they build, but to strengthen it.

Today, BuildPass powers daily Pre-Task Plans (PTPs), job site safety inspections, Toolbox Talks, and real-time reporting across the city.

The result: stronger subcontractor accountability, better field-to-office visibility, and safer job sites at scale.

Building in New York Is Personal

For Reidy, construction isn't just project delivery. It's part of the city's identity.

"I'm born and raised in New York," says Associate Project Manager Elliane Greenberg.

"I love the infrastructure, the buildings — seeing what really makes New York, New York. Construction is such a big part of that."

From office build-outs to hospitality interiors and healthcare spaces, Reidy's work shapes how New Yorkers experience their city every day.

And in New York construction, safety isn't a checkbox. It's culture.

Managing Safety at Portfolio Scale

Operating across more than 85 active projects changes everything.

Reidy coordinates hundreds of concurrent subcontractors, thousands of daily worker sign-ons, and strict safety documentation requirements across every site.

At this level, even a well-established safety operation needs the right infrastructure behind it.

"Everyone has a schedule," says Safety Manager Patrick Bateman.

"But at the end of the day, safety matters before any schedule."

Reidy's leadership aligned around three priorities:

1. Daily Pre-Task Plans completed on every site
2. Clear office visibility into PTP completion and manpower
3. Toolbox Talks consistently run and tracked by subcontractors

They didn't want to change how superintendents run their sites. They wanted better visibility into it — and a digital system that reflected the standards they were already holding themselves to.

Why Reidy Chose BuildPass

Reidy had already built strong safety habits across the business. The challenge was scale: maintaining that standard across 85+ simultaneous projects, with hundreds of subcontractors, required more than manual follow-up.

Reidy signed with BuildPass in August 2025 and completed a full company rollout within weeks — a transition that was straightforward precisely because the processes and culture were already in place.

"It's very easy to take a photo, create an action item, and send it straight to the superintendent," says Safety Manager Patrick Bateman.

"Once it's fixed, they send it back — and it's closed out."

BuildPass became the connective layer between daily field activity and company-wide safety oversight.

Embedded workflows now include:

• Daily Pre-Task Plans tied directly to worker sign-ons
• Automated notifications prompting subcontractor action
• Safety inspections with photo documentation and tracked resolution
• Toolbox Talks recorded and visible in reporting dashboards
• Real-time compliance tracking across projects

"It's a one-stop shop for construction safety," says Business Operations Associate Jack Hensey.

"Everything you need is right there."

Strengthening Accountability Without Adding Friction

The power of BuildPass isn't disruption. It's reinforcement.

Reidy didn't replace its construction processes. BuildPass strengthened them.

Now:

• Attendance triggers safety workflows automatically
• PTP completion links directly to daily sign-ons
• Office teams see compliance in real time
• Leadership monitors portfolio-wide trends instantly

"We configured dashboards so leadership and project managers have the information they need without chasing it," Jack says.

Superintendents still run the job. BuildPass ensures nothing slips through.

Connecting Office and Field in Real Time

In commercial construction, visibility drives performance.

"As someone who's not on site every day, I still need to feel connected," says Associate Project Manager Katrina Berge.

"The better the information I get from the field, the more confident our clients can feel."

With BuildPass, office teams can instantly see who is on site, whether Pre-Task Plans are complete, which subcontractors have run Toolbox Talks, where safety issues are trending, and what action items remain open.

"If I can't make it to a job site," Patrick adds, "I can still see exactly what's happening."

That level of visibility changes how decisions are made.

Operating at Full Portfolio Scale

Today, BuildPass runs live across Reidy's New York operations.

In the past 30 days alone:

• More than 1,900 worker sign-ons completed through daily workflows
• More than 17,000 safety audits and inspections recorded
• More than 85 active commercial projects supported simultaneously

This isn't pilot usage. It's full-scale operational adoption.

BuildPass is embedded into daily construction safety management — from the first sign-on of the morning to final closeout.

Why This Matters for NYC Construction

New York construction demands accurate manpower tracking, daily safety documentation, clear incident reporting, consistent subcontractor compliance, and strong office-to-field communication.

BuildPass supports those requirements without adding administrative weight. It reduces manual checks, centralises job site safety reporting, and makes compliance visible — not reactive.

And in a regulated market like NYC, that clarity is critical.

Why Reidy Recommends BuildPass

For commercial general contractors managing complex, multi-site portfolios, Reidy's view is simple.

"It just makes everything easier," Jack says. "Everyone has what they need, right there."

Building Better, Every Day

Construction in New York moves fast. Schedules are tight. Expectations are high.

But as Patrick says: "At the end of the day, safety matters before any schedule."

That mindset runs through every Reidy project — from daily Pre-Task Plans to final closeout.

BuildPass hasn't changed how Reidy builds. It's made what they already do — planning, communicating, protecting their teams — clearer, faster, and more accountable.

And when you're managing construction safety across New York City, that sets a new standard.
