Construction projects differ in their work activities, site conditions, risks and inspection requirements. A residential new build has different priorities from a demolition project, a highway scheme or a mechanical and electrical installation. Yet every project needs reliable site records, appropriate inspections and a consistent approach to health and safety.
KaelSite is a mobile-first construction compliance app built for UK construction teams. It helps teams manage inspections, safety reporting and project paperwork across a wide range of construction projects, with workflows designed to support practical site operations and compliance processes.
From new builds and refurbishments to civil engineering, utilities and maintenance, KaelSite brings project-specific work items and associated inspections into one digital workflow.
KaelSite's project catalog covers 20 construction project types, helping teams organise their work around the nature of the project rather than relying on a single generic checklist.
The breadth of KaelSite's catalog is a useful starting point for organising inspection workflows across different project environments.

These figures describe KaelSite's catalog specifically. They are not industry-wide statistics.
The distinction between inspection types and inspection links matters. A single inspection type may be relevant to several work items or project types. When the same inspection is linked to multiple work items, each association is counted in the total of 2,345 inspection links. The 310 figure represents shared inspection types, not 310 additional inspection links.

Why connect inspections to work items?
Organising inspections around work items can help construction teams make their checks more relevant to the activities taking place on site.
-
Project-specific organisation: Work items can be arranged around the type of construction project.
-
Relevant inspection associations: Inspections can be linked to applicable work items instead of treated as one undifferentiated list.
-
Reusable inspection types: Shared inspection types can support consistency where similar checks apply across different work items.
-
More structured records: Digital inspection and reporting workflows can help teams record observations and maintain project documentation.
The catalog provides a structured starting point. Project teams still need to determine which checks apply to their specific work and ensure that records meet their contractual and legal obligations.
Construction inspections and UK compliance
Construction inspections are one part of a broader approach to managing health, safety and quality on site. Their scope depends on the work being carried out, the risks involved, the project's management arrangements and applicable legal requirements.
In the UK, the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 (CDM 2015) establish duties for relevant construction project participants. Effective project management requires appropriate planning, coordination and management of health and safety risks throughout the project lifecycle.
Digital inspection workflows can support these processes by helping teams document site observations, record issues and maintain organised project records. However, software alone does not guarantee compliance, and the appropriate inspections and records must be determined for each project.
KaelSite is designed to support construction teams with digital inspections, safety reporting and project paperwork across different project types.
One construction app for different project environments
A construction team working on a residential development may need different inspection workflows from a team undertaking roadworks, fire-safety remediation or utility installation.
KaelSite's project-based catalog provides a way to organise work items and their associated inspections around these differences. Teams can use the app's mobile and web workflows to support inspection and reporting activities across their projects.
KaelSite is mobile-first and designed for construction environments where connectivity can be unreliable. Core inspection and reporting workflows are available on mobile and web, while some advanced features, including full report editing and AI report drafting, are available on the web only.
The aim is to make inspection and reporting workflows more practical for teams managing different types of construction work, rather than forcing every project into the same generic process.

Frequently asked questions
How many construction project types does KaelSite cover?
KaelSite's catalog covers 20 project types, ranging from residential and commercial construction to infrastructure, utilities, maintenance and specialist works.
How many work items are included in the KaelSite catalog?
The catalog contains 596 work items across the 20 project types. Work items help organise activities and their associated inspection requirements.
What is the difference between inspection types and inspection links?
An inspection type represents a type of check. An inspection link associates that check with a work item. Because one inspection type can be reused across multiple work items, the catalog contains 2,345 inspection links and 310 shared inspection types.
Can the same inspection be used across different project types?
Yes. Where an inspection is relevant to multiple work items, the same inspection type can be shared across the catalog. The appropriate checks still depend on the specific work, site conditions and applicable requirements.
Does KaelSite support UK construction compliance workflows?
KaelSite supports digital inspections, safety reporting and project paperwork for UK construction teams. These workflows can help organise compliance-related records, but project teams remain responsible for meeting their legal and contractual obligations.
Can KaelSite be used on mobile devices?
Yes. KaelSite is a mobile-first app with core inspection and reporting workflows available on mobile and web. Some advanced features, including full report editing and AI report drafting, are web-only.
Organise construction inspections around your projects
From a small refurbishment to a major infrastructure project, construction teams need practical ways to manage inspections, report safety issues and maintain project paperwork.
KaelSite brings together 20 project types, 596 work items and 2,345 inspection links in a catalog designed for varied construction environments. By organising inspections around relevant work items, it provides a structured foundation for digital inspection and reporting workflows across UK construction projects.
Explore how KaelSite can support your team's inspection and reporting processes across your next project.
