Project Brain
Ask Civvio“What's the cover level at MH5 and which drawing shows it?”
Answers come from your current revisions, with the source cited, and Civvio flags when drawings disagree.
By role
Civvio for every role on the job
Same project brain, different jobs to do. Here's how Civvio gives each person on a civils job hours back every week — and protects the margin on the job.
01 / Project managers
Run the job, not the paperwork.
Civvio keeps the drawings, RFIs, actions, contract and site records for your job in one place and answers questions about them in seconds — with the drawing number and revision to back it up. You spend less time looking for things and chasing people, and more time getting ahead of problems.

How Civvio helps
RFIs and actions
Civvio drafts the RFI from the question and the drawings it found; you check it and send. Actions sit on one board with owners and due dates.
Contract Intelligence
Civvio reads your uploaded contract and amendments and turns them into plain-English rules: who notifies whom, by when. Always Civvio's reading — check the clause before issuing a formal notice.
Daily attention
the dashboard pulls overdue actions, open RFIs, unsigned RAMS and commercial watch items into one view each morning.
Protects the margin
- 01Early warnings and notices go out on time, because the time limits from your own contract are in front of you.
- 02Fewer decisions made on superseded drawings, so less rework.
- 03Questions get answered the same day instead of waiting on someone to dig through a drawing register.
Typical access: Admin or ManagementBook a demo for project managers
02 / Site engineers
The answer's in the drawings. Civvio finds it.
Ask a question the way you'd ask a colleague — typed or out loud on site — and get the level, dimension or detail back with the drawing and revision it came from. No more scrolling through PDFs on a phone in the rain.

How Civvio helps
Ask by voice on site
Ask Civvio“What's the invert level coming into MH3?”
Civvio says "Let me check the drawings", then answers and names the drawing and revision.
Revision-aware answers
Civvio answers from current revisions and the dashboard shows new drawing revisions issued in the last week, so you know what's changed.
Quick calculations
Ask Civvio“Calculate the concrete volume for the tank base slab”
— with the working shown and the drawing it used, so you can check it.
Diary and photos from your phone
record the day as you go; it works on the Site screen and saves drafts if signal drops.
Protects the margin
Freelance or agency? Civvio Engineer gives you your own AI project engineer for £49 a month.
- 01Setting out from the right revision first time means less rework.
- 02Discrepancies get spotted before the concrete arrives, not after.
- 03Good daily records are the evidence the commercial team needs later.
Typical access: Site or ManagementBook a demo for site engineers
03 / Site managers and agents
Keep the site moving and the records straight.
Site managers carry the job's paperwork on top of running the work. Civvio takes the repetitive parts — diaries, RAMS, sign-offs and recording instructions — so the records are complete without the late nights in the cabin.

How Civvio helps
RAMS drafted on your own company forms
upload your method statement and risk assessment templates once; Civvio fills both from the project documents. A competent person still reviews and approves every RAMS.
Electronic sign-off
the team reads and signs the approved RAMS on their phones. You see who has signed each revision, and a new revision goes back out to sign automatically.
Verbal instructions captured on the spot
record who said what, when and where, with photos, straight from the Site screen.
A simpler site dashboard
your site team gets Ask Civvio, RAMS to sign, today's actions and new drawing revisions, without the commercial detail.
Protects the margin
Freelance or agency? Civvio Engineer gives you your own AI project engineer for £49 a month.
- 01Instructions recorded on the day are far easier to get paid for than ones remembered weeks later.
- 02Complete diaries and signed RAMS mean fewer gaps when something goes wrong.
- 03Less time on paperwork means more time actually running the work.

04 / Commercial teams
Find the money before it slips away.
Most of the value on a civils job is won or lost in the gap between what happened on site and what got written down. Civvio connects the site records, the drawings and the contract so commercial events are spotted early and backed by evidence.

How Civvio helps
Commercial Watch
Civvio flags potential events from site records, like rock encountered or extra breaker hours, with the evidence attached.
Variation drafting and pricing
build-ups from your rate library, with every rate's source traceable and any override reason recorded.
Drawing vs BoQ checks
Ask Civvio“Does the BoQ concrete for the tank base match the drawing?”
In our own testing on a live water-treatment job, Civvio flagged a tank base where the drawing worked out at about 9 m³ of concrete but the BoQ listed 23 m³.
Contract Intelligence
notice periods, time limits and amendments from your actual contract, cited to the clause.
Protects the margin
- 01Under NEC4, a compensation event the contractor doesn't notify within eight weeks of becoming aware of it can be lost entirely. Civvio puts those time limits — read from your own contract — in front of the team.
- 02Evidence is gathered as the work happens, not reconstructed at final account.
- 03Quantity discrepancies are caught early, while they can still be raised.

05 / Directors
See every job clearly. Protect every margin.
Directors need to know which jobs are on track and where the risk is — without waiting for the monthly report. Civvio gives your teams their hours back and gives you a clear view of what's happening on every project.

How Civvio helps
Company dashboard
status, commercial position and attention items across your projects in one place.
Contract review at award
Civvio turns a new contract and its amendments into plain-English obligations and time limits, so nothing in the Z clauses surprises you halfway through the job.
Safety you can see
who has signed which RAMS revision, on every job.
Control over who sees what
Admin, Management and Site access levels. Site teams never see contract values or commercial documents, and neither does Civvio when they ask it.
Protects the margin
- 01The Get It Right Initiative estimates the total cost of avoidable error in construction at 10–25% of project cost. Working to the right revision, spotting discrepancies early and keeping complete records all chip away at that.1
- 02One recovered £5,000 variation pays for more than four years of the Core company plan, with every job and site user included.
- 03One company price with unlimited projects and site users, so every job — big or small — can run on Civvio.
Typical access: AdminBook a demo for directors
What it adds up to
If Civvio saves each person around 6.5 hours a week, a 10-person project team gets back around 65 hours a week — about two full-time people's worth of time, on a £199 a month plan.
Time savings are illustrative estimates based on typical weekly tasks for each role, not measured results. Your results will depend on your projects and how your team works. Civvio drafts — your team checks and approves.
