Modular Construction Contractors: Streamlining Safety, Workforce, and Compliance

Modular construction is transforming the way projects are delivered, offering faster schedules, higher quality control, and reduced waste. But while building offsite brings many advantages, modular contractors face unique challenges when it comes to site safety, craneage, logistics, and compliance once modules arrive onsite. Boxcore gives modular construction contractors a simple, practical system to manage workforce records, safety documentation, and compliance in one place. Designed for ease of use by site crews and subcontractors, Boxcore eliminates manual paperwork, reduces admin overheads, and ensures all workers and equipment meet project requirements before installation begins.

The Benefits of Modular Construction – And the Safety Risks to Manage

Modular construction speeds up project delivery and allows more work to be done in controlled environments. Yet the risks when installing modules are concentrated and high-impact.

Craneage and Heavy Lifts

Setting modular units in place requires precise lifting operations, strict control of exclusion zones, and accurate sign-offs of lifting plans.

Work at Heights

Modules often need final connections on upper levels, exposing workers to falls without the right safety procedures.

Interaction with Plant

Cranes, telehandlers, and mobile plant operate continuously during module installation, creating high interaction risks.

Service Connections

Modules need M&E tie-ins, often requiring multiple trades working simultaneously in confined areas.

Changing Site Teams

As modules arrive in batches, teams can change quickly, requiring rapid onboarding and training verification.

How Boxcore Simplifies Safety Compliance for Modular Projects

Boxcore was built for real construction teams, not office-only processes. Every feature is designed to cut admin, improve safety, and give managers confidence that compliance is in place.

Digital Worker Onboarding and Training Records

Before any operative sets foot onsite, Boxcore ensures they are Inducted and have the right training and documentation in place. Whether it’s CSCS cards in the UK, SafePass cards in Ireland, or OSHA cards in the USA, everything is stored digitally and visible in seconds. Project-specific inductions, task-specific training, and toolbox talks can also be logged to prove competency across all trades.

Facial Recognition Time Tracking and Access Control

Controlling who is on site during module installation is critical. Boxcore’s facial recognition solution ensures only approved workers access site, while also generating accurate time and attendance data. This helps contractors manage exclusion zones, plan lift operations, and maintain real-time visibility of crews onsite.

Equipment and Crane Inspection Records

Lifting equipment, cranes, and plant must always be in test. Boxcore digitises LOLER, PUWER, GA2/GA3, and other inspection records, eliminating the risk of equipment being used with expired certificates. Site managers can instantly check the status of any asset before it is put to work.

RAMS, Permits, and Safety Documentation

Every modular project relies on accurate RAMS, lift plans, and permits. Boxcore automates submission, approval, and tracking, removing the need for emails and manual registers. Supervisors can check from their phone if all required documents are approved before a lift begins.
