FAQ

Questions about Scopey, answered.

How Scopey works with WhatsApp, which contracts it supports, what it produces, and how it fits with the tools your teams already use.

The basics

What is Scopey Onsite?

Scopey Onsite is construction contract administration and commercial intelligence software. Site teams capture messages, voice notes and photos on WhatsApp, and Scopey turns them into structured records connected to the contract, including site diaries, issue registers and draft notices, TQs and early warnings for the project team to review.

How does Scopey work with WhatsApp?

Site teams save Scopey as a WhatsApp contact and message it as work happens. Scopey asks for any missing detail while it is still fresh, then files the record against the right project, date and contract.

Does Scopey read our WhatsApp group chats?

No. Scopey only sees what your team sends directly to it. It never reads, scans or imports existing chats.

Do site teams need training or a new app?

No. If your team can send a WhatsApp message, they can use Scopey. There is nothing to install and no forms to fill in on site.

Who is Scopey for?

Contractors protecting entitlement and margin, clients and PMOs who need early visibility and help meeting their own obligations, commercial teams who need stronger records, and site teams who need a faster way to report. It is built for data centres, pharma, commercial construction and major infrastructure programmes.

Can clients and PMOs use Scopey?

Yes. Client-side teams and PMOs use Scopey to see change, delay and disruption early and to meet their own obligations to contractors, such as issuing early warnings on time.

Contracts, notices and TQs

Which construction contracts does Scopey support?

Scopey works with NEC, FIDIC, JCT, PWC, RIAI, Australian Standard (AS 4000 and AS 4902) and bespoke contracts. The Scopey team sets up the contract for each project, so records and deadlines reflect the form you are working under.

Does Scopey send notices automatically?

No. Scopey drafts notices, such as early warnings, inside the contractual deadlines, and your team reviews, edits and issues them. Your team stays in control of every decision.

Can Scopey raise technical queries (TQs) or RFIs?

Yes. Site teams raise a TQ on WhatsApp and Scopey fills it into your company's own TQ template, with the details and photos from the site record, numbered in your sequence and ready for your team to review and send. Every TQ is tracked in a TQ Register with its reply-due date, linked to the issue it came from.

Who built Scopey's contract logic?

Scopey's contract judgement was built with construction contract specialists. Drafted notices are checked against that expert judgement before they reach your team.

Site records and contract administration

How do I improve construction site records?

Record events on the day they happen, by the people who saw them, and stick to facts: date, location, who was involved, labour and plant affected, how long it lasted, and photos. Gaps and late entries are what weaken records most. Scopey lets site teams report on WhatsApp as work happens, asks for any missing detail, and files a dated, structured record against the right project.

How do I create better site diaries?

A good site diary covers weather, labour and subcontractors by trade, plant, deliveries, work completed, instructions received, delays, incidents and visitors, with photos. Write it the same day, name the author and avoid editing after the fact. Scopey builds the diary from the notes and photos the site team sends through the day, creating a strong, dated record without a separate end-of-shift task, and can sync it to Procore.

How do I connect WhatsApp site updates to commercial teams?

Give site teams one WhatsApp contact that turns their updates into commercial records, instead of scattered group chats where updates get lost. That is what Scopey does. Site teams send messages, voice notes and photos as work happens. Scopey asks for any missing detail, files a structured record against the right project and connects it to the contract, so the commercial team sees what happened, what it affects and what is due, with daily summaries by email.

How can AI help with construction contract administration?

AI can turn messages, voice notes and photos into structured records, recognise when an event may trigger a contract obligation, track notice periods, and draft notices, TQs and early warnings for review. It should support people, not replace them: decisions and formal notices stay with the team. Scopey works this way, and its contract logic was built with construction contract specialists.

How do I identify commercial risk from site activity?

Watch for change, delay, disruption, instructions and late information as they happen, and check each against the contract and programme to see whether it could affect cost, time or entitlement. The earlier it is seen, the more options remain. Scopey flags site events that could carry commercial risk and logs them in an Issue Register, so the commercial team sees them while there is still time to act.

Outputs and integrations

What does Scopey produce?

Daily summaries by email, site diaries, an Issue Register, a TQ Register, a Notices Register and scheduled reports. Reports can run automatically by subcontractor performance, site records or location, with timelines and contemporaneous records.

Does Scopey integrate with Procore?

Yes. Scopey syncs site diaries into Procore, with your companies and locations mapped to your Procore project. Your IT team connects it using only the permissions Scopey needs.

How is Scopey different from Procore?

Procore documents projects. Scopey captures what never makes it into a system, maps it to the contract and feeds it into the tools you already use, including Procore.

How is Scopey different from field apps and site diary apps?

Field apps for daily reports, photos and site diaries ask crews to install and adopt a new app, and they stop at the record. Scopey works through WhatsApp, which crews already use, builds the diary and records as work happens, and connects each event to the project's contract so the commercial team sees what it means and what is due.

Does Scopey work with Microsoft Teams?

Microsoft Teams capture is coming soon. Today, site capture runs on WhatsApp, with summaries by email and records exported to Word and PDF.

How does Scopey handle security and data?

Scopey only processes what your team sends it. Our Information Security Policy, Data Protection Policy, DPA and sub-processor list are available to your IT and procurement teams on request.
