AEC software built for environments where errors cost lives

Construction is the UK's most hazardous industry. Regulatory pressure is increasing – CDM, ISO 45001, growing ESG obligations – while projects are getting more complex, supply chains harder to manage and skilled labor harder to retain.

The organizations that stay ahead don't just react to incidents. They build systems that prevent them.

Designed for AEC's evolving regulatory expectations

AEC operates under some of the most demanding regulatory frameworks in existence. CDM, ISO 45001 and building safety legislation are raising the bar – and the consequences of falling short are severe.    

Labor shortages, supply chain volatility and rising costs are stretching project teams. Safety and compliance can't be managed in spreadsheets when the margin for error is this small.   

The challenges AEC leaders can't afford to ignore

Workforce and contractor management

On a construction site, knowing who is on site, whether they're trained and whether they're safe isn't a nice to have – it's a CDM and ISO 45001 obligation. Ideagen Workforce Safety replaces manual contractor management and ad hoc induction processes with an Enterprise Protection Platform built on connected worker technology and AI-driven risk analytics.  

  • Verify contractor credentials and automate site inductions – with biometric access control that prevents untrained personnel from entering sites  Standardize safety briefings, permits to work and risk assessments across every site and shift – eliminating the inconsistency that creates incidents and RIDDOR reportable events  
  • Track workforce training completion in real-time and automatically assign site-specific requirements – so labor shortages never mean compliance shortcuts  
  • Monitor worker locations, safety status and risk exposure across dispersed sites from a single platform – giving H&S officers the visibility to act before incidents happen.

Email management

A single lost email can mean a missed deadline, a compliance risk or a legal dispute. Mail Manager centralizes all project correspondence directly within Microsoft Outlook – so every email is filed, findable and audit-ready, without changing how your teams work.  

  • Find any project email in seconds – not hours – with three-click access across every site, team and stakeholder  
  • Eliminate the risk of correspondence lost in personal inboxes when staff move on or projects change hands  
  • Maintain a complete, auditable trail of all project communication – protecting your organization when disputes arise at handover  
  • Share contract documents and sensitive correspondence securely with external parties – with full visibility and access control throughout.

Document collaboration

AEC projects depend on getting the right documents to the right people at the right time – securely and with a complete record of every interaction. Ideagen Collaboration Portal replaces fragmented email threads and disconnected platforms with secure, centralized workspaces that keep every stakeholder in sync.  

  • Share contract documents, drawings and project files with external partners through secure workspaces – with automatic access expiration and full version control  
  • Reduce document review time from days to hours with workflows that route documents to the right people automatically  
  • Maintain a thorough, audit-ready trail of every document interaction – so nothing is disputed, missed or unaccounted for at handover  
  • Keep teams, clients and subcontractors connected across sites and time zones – without compromising security or governance.
