About Cedarbridge Developments
Cedarbridge Developments is one of Ireland’s most active housebuilders, completing more than 1,000 residential units each year. With multiple projects running simultaneously, the business needed a way to standardise safety processes, ensure compliance across all subcontractors, and maintain visibility on workforce movements across every site.
Paper records, spreadsheets, and scattered email chains were slowing down project teams. As the company continued to grow, leadership recognised the need for a single platform that would manage safety, workforce attendance, and subcontractor documentation efficiently.
Why Cedarbridge Chose Boxcore
Cedarbridge selected Boxcore’s construction safety and workforce management software because of its simplicity, fast adoption on site, and ability to provide real-time compliance visibility.
With Boxcore, Cedarbridge has:
- Digitised worker inductions to ensure every operative is fully trained before setting foot on site.
- Deployed facial recognition access control to restrict entry to only those with the correct certifications.
- Centralised subcontractor uploads of training records, CSCS and Safe Pass cards, and equipment inspection documents.
- Automated safety registers for training, documents, and assets to eliminate manual updates.
- Gained real-time attendance dashboards, allowing management to see who is on site instantly.
This approach replaced fragmented manual processes with a single source of truth for all compliance data.
“Boxcore has greatly streamlined our safety processes. The facial recognition access control gives us confidence that only personnel with the correct training and certifications can enter our sites. For a business managing multiple projects and subcontractors, the ability to see compliance in real-time has been a real step forward.”
— Linda Grogan, Operations Director, Cedarbridge Developments
Streamlining Inductions and Training Compliance
Every worker arriving at a Cedarbridge project must complete the correct induction and have the required training records uploaded in advance. Through Boxcore’s digital onboarding tools, site managers can verify this in seconds, cutting out delays at the gate.
Subcontractors are responsible for uploading their teams’ training certificates, insurance documents, and equipment inspections directly into the platform. Boxcore automatically checks expiry dates and flags upcoming renewals, removing the risk of lapsed compliance.
For housebuilders like Cedarbridge, where dozens of trades cycle through projects, this ensures no gaps appear in training records and no unsafe equipment slips onto site.

Facial Recognition Powered Access Control
Cedarbridge integrated Boxcore with site access turnstiles, using facial recognition technology to validate entry. Only workers with approved status — meaning they have up-to-date inductions and valid training certificates — can pass through.
This ensures compliance at the front gate rather than relying on manual spot checks. Management also gains real-time visibility of attendance across all live projects, including breakdowns by trade and subcontractor.

Productivity Gains Through Simplification
By removing paperwork and manual data handling, Cedarbridge’s project teams now spend less time chasing subcontractors for documents or updating spreadsheets.
Boxcore’s mobile-first design means site managers, safety officers, and subcontractor leads can all check compliance status from their phone in seconds. This saves time, reduces admin costs, and gives leadership a clearer picture of workforce activity across the company’s expanding portfolio.
