For M&E contractors

Catch every delay, change and backcharge on site, before it costs you margin.

Construction contract administration software for M&E contractors on data centre and life sciences projects. Scopey turns what your engineers see on site into dated records linked to your contract, so your QS sees access delays, design clashes, instructions and defect claims the day they happen.

Sound familiar?

Your engineers see every issue. Your QS finds out too late.

On data centre and life sciences jobs, M&E contractors deal with access blocked by other trades, drawings that don't match, instructions with no paperwork and defects they're blamed for. On a fast programme, the notice window can close before the month-end report.

The instruction never written down

Asked for at the weekly progress meeting. The written instruction never arrives.

The drawings that don't match

The isometric doesn't match the P&ID. Hours of site work nobody priced.

The failure after handover

Equipment fails after handover and the client holds you liable. The evidence is on someone's phone.

The month-end surprise

Your QS finds out at month end. The notice window closed last week.

How it works

Capture. Decide. Act.

Engineers report on site. Scopey builds the record, links it to your contract and flags what needs attention to your QS.

01 CAPTURE

Report it on site.

Engineers message Scopey on WhatsApp or Microsoft Teams with a photo, text or voice, instead of logging issues in clunky software at the end of the day. Scopey asks back for the detail that usually goes missing: how many people, how long, which company.

02 DECIDE

See what it means.

Each report becomes a structured record. Related events are grouped into one issue with the original messages and photos, linked to the clauses in your contract. Your QS reviews and decides.

03 ACT

Act inside the deadline.

Scopey picks up the issues that could develop into commercial problems and tracks the contract deadlines, so your QS can act in time. Reports run on a schedule, by location, contractor or project.

Data centres and life sciences

Built for fast programmes, where the notice window is measured in days.

M&E is often the last trade in and absorbs everyone else's delay. Scopey makes sure your QS knows about it while there is still time to act.

Example: M&E contractor

One week on a live project.

Based on an M&E contractor's first week with Scopey. Dozens of site records from a small team of supervisors and engineers, grouped into commercial issues, with several picked up that could develop into commercial problems. Names, places and details are changed.

ACCESS

A week of blockers, one delay record

Another contractor's lifting zone, a slab not ready, a MEWP that never arrived. Each blocker is logged with who's responsible and when access is due, so the delay record builds as it happens.

VERBAL REQUEST

Agreed in the meeting, never in writing

At the coordination meeting, the main contractor asks for extra trace heating in two plant rooms. Gary logs it straight after. The written instruction hasn't come through, so Scopey keeps the issue open until it does.

BACKCHARGE

Equipment fails, and the client points at you

A pump seal fails after handover and the client blames the installation. The supplier's report points to debris in the system. Every finding is dated in one file before anyone asks for it.

INSTRUCTION

A change, asked for in passing

Niall sends a voice note: the main contractor wants a chilled water branch moved to clear a new duct run on Level 2. Four fitters, two days. Scopey records who asked, where, and the forecast hours, and flags it to the QS while there's time to act.

DESIGN

Drawings that don't agree

Aoife spots a reducer and a drain point on the isometric that aren't on the P&ID. Rework on site that should have been caught in design, logged the day it's found, with the designer named.

PROGRAMME

A witness test cancelled

The client's commissioning team can't attend a witness test, so it moves out a week. Ciara logs the cause and the knock-on that morning, ready to assess against the programme.

Proof

Better records, fewer disputes.

Built with M&E and specialist contractors on live data centre and life sciences projects, and set up to fit how your teams and IT already work.

75 to 85% more site information

Captured than before, in a Tier 1 specialist contractor's own assessment.

130+ site records in 4 months

Structured, dated records on one project, each linked to the contract and to the issue it belongs to.

Built for your IT team

WhatsApp Business API or Microsoft Teams. Your team messages Scopey as a contact; Scopey never reads your chats, and your data never trains external models. Security and DPA pack on request.

Live within a week

No app to install and no training. Engineers message Scopey like any other contact. Works alongside Procore, with exports your other systems can take.

FAQ

Questions from M&E contractors

What is Scopey?

Scopey is construction contract administration software for M&E and specialist contractors. Site teams report issues on WhatsApp or Microsoft Teams, and Scopey turns them into dated site records, groups them into commercial issues, links them to your contract and tracks the contract deadlines for your QS.

What issues does Scopey pick up on M&E jobs?

Access blocked by other trades, verbal and written instructions, design and information clashes such as isometrics that don't match the P&ID, delays, defects and backcharges, late materials and plant, labour and programme changes.

Which construction contracts does Scopey work with?

Scopey works with any construction contract: standard forms such as NEC4, JCT, FIDIC, the Public Works Contract and RIAI, as well as bespoke and amended contracts. It loads the relevant clauses and notice periods, so issues are tracked against the right deadlines.

Does Scopey work with Procore?

Yes. Scopey works alongside Procore rather than replacing it. Site diary information can sync to Procore, and records export in formats other systems take, such as CSV.

Can we use Microsoft Teams instead of WhatsApp?

Yes. Your team can use WhatsApp or Microsoft Teams, with Teams capture coming soon. WhatsApp runs on the WhatsApp Business API, so Scopey is a business contact and never reads personal chats.

Is our project data secure?

Your data never trains external models, and Scopey never reads your chats. Our information security, data protection and incident response policies, sub-processor list and DPA are available on request.

How quickly can we get started?

Most teams are live within a week. Send the contract, your users and site zones, and engineers can start messaging Scopey straight away. There is no app to install and no training.

Does Scopey decide what to send to the client?

No. Scopey flags issues that could develop into commercial problems and prepares the paperwork. Your QS reviews every item and decides what happens next.
