Revolutionizing Construction Site Compliance with NFC-Powered Inspections, Real-Time Tracking & BS5975 Standards

temptag-screen1

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Temp Tag is a specialized mobile application developed for Ashley Daniels of TemporaryWorx (UK), designed to revolutionize how temporary works are managed, inspected, and tracked on construction sites. Temporary works — scaffolding, formwork, shoring, falsework, and other structural supports — are critical safety elements on any construction project, and their management is governed by BS5975, the British Standard code of practice for temporary works procedures. Temp Tag digitizes this entire compliance and inspection lifecycle, replacing paper-based checklists, fragmented communication, and manual record-keeping with a seamless, NFC-powered mobile platform.

At its core, Temp Tag leverages NFC (Near Field Communication) tag technology to give every temporary work element on a construction site a unique digital identity. Inspectors and surveyors can simply scan an NFC tag attached to any structure to instantly access its full history — last inspection date, inspector details, compliance status, and any comments or concerns raised. This eliminates the need to search through paper records or separate systems, putting critical safety information literally at the inspector’s fingertips in the field. The platform supports customizable work type questionnaires and inspection checklists, ensuring that every inspection follows standardized procedures tailored to the specific type of temporary work being assessed.

The platform operates through a multi-tiered user architecture designed for enterprise-scale deployment. A Super Admin manages the entire platform, configuring companies, work types, competency questionnaires, and NFC tags. Company Admins oversee their specific projects, employees, and inspection workflows. Inspectors and Surveyors (TWC/TWS) perform field inspections, complete competency tests, and manage their assigned tags. Read-only Users can scan tags to view inspection status and leave comments that trigger real-time notifications to inspectors and company admins — enabling transparent, multi-stakeholder coordination across complex construction projects.

The ambition of Temp Tag extends beyond simple inspection digitization — it aims to fundamentally transform temporary works management across the UK construction industry. By embedding NFC technology into everyday inspection workflows, enforcing competency-based access through surveyor testing, providing real-time project visibility with geo-located tag data, and ensuring full BS5975 compliance through structured inspection procedures and permit-to-load workflows, Temp Tag delivers a scalable solution that enhances safety, accountability, and operational efficiency across every construction site it serves.
