Solutions / Construction

High-risk work. Zero-compromise compliance. One platform.

Construction businesses face overlapping requirements: safety, environmental permits, licensing, project-specific plans, and employment law. Porticus connects every control across all of them, so every project builds on your existing compliance work.

Construction site with overlays for OSHA, environmental, licensing, employment

Every project creates a new compliance footprint. Porticus connects it to everything you've already built.

Safety. Environmental permits. Licensing. Site-Specific Safety Plans. Employment law. Under HSWA, WorkSafe NZ can prosecute organisations up to NZ$3M and individuals up to NZ$600K. Most tools cover one domain. Porticus covers every domain, and cross-links the controls so you never build from scratch for a new project or new jurisdiction.

Every project creates a new compliance footprint. Not anymore.

Safety. Environmental permits. Licensing. Employment law. Under HSWA, WorkSafe NZ can prosecute organisations up to NZ$3M and individuals up to NZ$600K. Most teams rebuild every time a new project, jurisdiction, or client scope arrives. Porticus connects what you've already built to everything new.

Project-by-Project Reset

Every new site means rebuilding safety plans, permits, and employment compliance from scratch. Nothing carries forward. The equity built on the last project evaporates the moment the next one starts.

Multi-Jurisdiction Complexity

NZ, Australia, US, EU each have different safety standards, licensing requirements, and employment law. Tracking them across projects and regions in separate tools is unmanageable.

Siloed Safety and Employment Tools

Health and safety tools don't talk to employment law tools. Environmental permits sit in a different system. No unified view of where any project actually stands - until an audit asks.

Contractor and Licence Risk

Contractor licences expire. Certifications lapse. Safety standards differ by trade and jurisdiction. Without automated tracking across your whole workforce, something always falls through.

How Porticus unifies construction compliance

Project-Level Programme Generation

New project in a new region or country? Give Porticus the location, owner requirements, hazards, and workforce profile. AI generates the full compliance programme - safety, permits, employment - with controls cross-linked to your company-wide programmes. What you've already built carries forward. What's new is flagged and scoped.

Multi-Jurisdiction Licensing

Porticus tracks contractor licence status, safety standards, wage and payroll requirements, workers' comp requirements, and employment law variations by jurisdiction - whether US state, EU member state, or national. One view across every site and every worker. No licence or certification renewal falls through the gaps.

Compliance isn't overhead. It's competitive advantage.

  • Faster pre-qualification: evidence packages ready for RFPs and tenders
  • Reduced incident rates: comprehensive safety programmes across every site
  • Penalty avoidance: WorkSafe NZ can prosecute up to NZ$3M for organisations, NZ$600K for individuals
  • Bid competitiveness: demonstrable compliance as a differentiator

The more requirements you add, the less work each one takes.

This is the core economic difference between Porticus and every other approach. When your first programme is in the system, every programme you add after it costs less. Because Porticus already knows what you've done and automatically maps the overlap.

Preparing for one audit builds readiness for the next.

Porticus calculates your cross-framework readiness in real time - based on your actual evidence and controls, updated continuously, not rebuilt each season.

WorkSafe NZ / HSWA Programme

ISO 4500165% ready
OSHA Construction48% ready

Site-Specific Safety Plan (SSSP)

ISO 4500155% ready
EU OSH Directive42% ready

RMA Environmental Consent

ISO 1400150% ready
POEO Act (AU)44% ready

Every standard you add to Porticus costs less time and effort than the last - because every audit you pass has already partially done the work for the next one.

For Compliance Consultants

Your expertise shouldn't have to start over every audit season.

The work you do setting up a client's safety plan, SSSP, or subcontractor compliance programme is the most valuable thing you deliver. With Porticus, that work stays alive between visits - the controls you mapped, the evidence you structured, the overlaps you identified all remain current and actionable in a platform your clients use every day.

Choose the model that fits your practice: white-label Porticus under your own brand, run it as a back-office managed service with your margins on top, or earn referral fees. If you manage 15 construction clients and spend 30% of your time on annual re-setup work, Porticus reclaims roughly 4–5 clients' worth of capacity - freeing you to price on value delivered, not hours spent.

What changes for your practice:

  • Flexible partnership models. White-label Porticus under your own brand, run it as a managed service with your margins on top, or earn referral fees. You choose how it fits your practice
  • Lower your cost to serve each client. The re-setup work that eats your margins handles itself - giving you capacity for more clients or deeper advisory work at the same headcount
  • Move from time-and-materials to value-based pricing. When your expertise stays permanent between audits, clients pay for outcomes, not hours - and your revenue per client grows
  • Shift reclaimed time to higher-value advisory: interpreting regulatory changes, guiding corrective actions, expanding client compliance footprints
