Pre-populate up to 64% of every shift record before your teams even open the app. They verify the plan instead of guessing what to write.

Site Preparation
Track Inspection
Supervisors aren't the right people to decide which cost code to use or how to categorise a delay. When they have to figure it out on the fly, you get inconsistent data that doesn't match your tender.
Supervisors guess at cost codes and records don't match your tender
Everyone codes things differently so reports are unusable
Too many options means people skip fields or pick wrong ones
No prepopulation means time wasted on admin instead of actuals
Shifts are prepopulated so supervisors just confirm and adjust
Cost codes already assigned so data flows to the right place
Consistent framework means reports group cleanly
Site teams focus on what happened, not how to categorise it
Plan is where you get the structure right. Once. So site teams can just Record.
"Gather is a link between the day team and the night team. The diary is prepared by the staff on days planning the jobs and passed on to the night team who execute the plan. Information is stored in one place. Everyone is sharing the same information. No desktop saving."
Senior Project Manager, Balfour Beatty
Define your Work Breakdown Structure, activities, and planned quantities once. Import directly from P6, Asta Powerproject, or your Excel tender build-up. Every shift record links back to this structure automaticallyp.
When site teams record against a consistent WBS, your reports group automatically. Resource allocation by cost code. Progress by WBS element. No manual reconciliation.
| Activity ID | Description | WBS | Planned Qty |
|---|---|---|---|
| A1001 | Topsoil Strip | 1.1.1 | 12,500 m³ |
| A1002 | Subsoil Excavation | 1.1.1 | 72,500 m³ |
| A1003 | Import Type 1 | 1.1.2 | 28,000 m³ |
Define every resource your project uses: trades, gangs, plant, and materials. Set all-in cost rates for each. Site teams pick from your list instead of typing free text.
Supervisors don't type 'groundworker' 50 different ways. They pick from a list. Your reports group cleanly and cost flows through automatically. No more cleaning data before you can use it.
| Resource | Type | All-in Rate | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Labour | £32.50 /hr | Hour |
|
|
Labour | £38.00 /hr | Hour |
|
|
Plant | £85.00 /hr | Hour |
|
|
Material | £24.50 /m³ | m³ |
Enter the productivity rates you assumed in your tender. Gather compares actual performance against these targets in real time so you spot drift before it drains margin.
If you priced excavation at 2.5 m³/hour and you're actually achieving 2.1 m³/hour, you're losing money. Gather shows you this variance in real time, not at month end when it's too late to fix.
| Activity | Target | Actual | Variance |
|---|---|---|---|
|
|
2.50 m³/hr | 2.10 m³/hr | -16% |
|
|
18.00 m³/hr | 19.50 m³/hr | +8% |
|
|
0.85 t/hr | 0.92 t/hr | +8% |
|
|
45.00 m³/hr | 38.00 m³/hr | -16% |
Select your measurement standard (CESMM4, NRM2, ARM4, MMHW, or custom) and Gather pre-populates the correct units and rules. Site teams record in the same units as your bill.
When site records in m³ and your bill is in m³, reconciliation is straightforward. No more converting units or arguing about measurement rules at valuation time.
| Work Class | Unit | Measurement Rule |
|---|---|---|
|
E
Earthworks
|
m³ | Measured net in final position |
|
F
In Situ Concrete
|
m³ | Actual volume placed |
|
G
Reinforcement
|
t | Calculated from bar schedules |
|
R
Roads & Paving
|
m² | Plan area as laid |
Define the physical areas of your site. Supervisors tag records to locations so you can filter and report spatially. See exactly where work happened and where it didn't.
When a delay happens in Zone B, you see exactly which activities were affected. Location data makes delay analysis precise and compensation events easier to substantiate.
| Activity Location | Chainage | Records |
|---|---|---|
|
J23 Northbound Slip
|
0+000 - 0+450 | 48 records |
|
J23 Roundabout
|
0+450 - 0+800 | 94 records |
|
Mainline Ch. 1+000
|
1+000 - 2+500 | 98 records |
|
Bridge Structure 4
|
5+200 - 5+350 | 67 records |
Assign gangs to activities for the week ahead. When supervisors open the app, their planned work is already there. They confirm what happened instead of building records from scratch.
When supervisors know what they're recording against before the shift starts, data quality improves dramatically. They spend minutes confirming, not half an hour creating.
Don't type it out. Gather's prepopulation engine reads your tender files, maps the columns intelligently, and builds your project structure instantly.
Drag & drop your Excel tender build-up, CSV bill of quantities, or P6 .xml schedule.
Our engine identifies your columns. It suggests mapping 'Activity ID' to 'WBS Code' automatically.
Your WBS, rates, and resources are instantly live on mobile devices. Site teams can start recording.
"Our team was working incredibly hard, but the systems weren't supporting them. We needed a single platform that could handle the complexity of a multidisciplinary programme without adding to the administrative burden."
Project Manager, Amey
