Delaney Works · Limerick · working with firms across Ireland

The same paperwork, rebuilt by hand on every job.

I build small, practical software for repeated construction admin. Start with one recurring job, such as a handover pack, safety file, snag list or tender return, and stop your office assembling it from scratch every time.

One process. Written scope. Fixed quote before anything starts.

Talk through one repeated admin process and see whether a small fixed-scope build could improve it. No preparation and no obligation.

Working demonstration

Move one site record into an office-ready job list.

Try a useful, pre-populated example of a repeated capture-and-review workflow. It demonstrates an approach, not a finished off-the-shelf product.

Demonstration data only. Nothing is uploaded or permanently stored.

Main workflows

Start where the document work repeats.

Handover and O&M packs

Stop chasing certificates, product data, test sheets and photographs into a new client folder structure every job. A build can follow your current pack process.

Safety files and certificate tracking

Keep one current record of RAMS, insurance, training and certificate expiry without removing human compliance approval.

Tenders and supplier quotes

Reuse controlled company information, compare supplier quotes and track versions while keeping review with your team.

The cost of the current process

Assess the work before assuming software will help.

  • How often is the document rebuilt?
  • How long does one complete version take?
  • How much chasing is involved?
  • Who performs the work?
  • How often does it return incomplete?
  • How often is it in the wrong format?

No invented benchmark is needed: use your own recent jobs and records.

The first fixed-scope build

One working piece of software for one repeated process.

What you get

A working piece of software tested against real examples and delivered against a written scope.

What you provide

Several real examples, redacted if needed, and access to the people currently doing the work.

What it is not

  • Not a company-wide platform
  • Not an indefinite discovery project
  • Not a replacement for professional judgement
  • Not software that approves certificates, prices, inspections or compliance

Process

Four steps, with approval kept in your hands.

Show the current process

Provide several real examples

Receive a written scope, quote and realistic timeframe

Build, test, approve and hand over

Evidence you can inspect

Working artefacts, not invented outcomes.

Before and after

Scattered inputs and manual chasing become structured capture, ownership and a human-reviewed output.

Accountable engineer

Emmet Delaney scopes and builds the work. Factual professional history is available for verification.

A good fit

  • The workflow repeats regularly
  • Someone can demonstrate it
  • Inputs and outputs are reasonably consistent
  • A real user can review the result
  • You will start with one bounded use case

Not a fit

  • The process is different every time
  • The core task is professional judgement
  • No one owns the workflow
  • You need a company-wide system before validating one use case

One accountable engineer

The person who scopes the work builds it.

You deal directly with Emmet rather than an account-management layer. Questions, trade-offs and limitations stay visible from first call to handover.

Document handling and client control

Agree access, retention and handover in writing.

Examples can be redacted. The written scope records where working files will live, who can access them, how long temporary copies remain, what transfers at handover and which decisions stay with the client.

Frequently asked questions

Before the first conversation.

Is the introductory call the paid pilot?

No. The call is a short, no-obligation conversation to understand one repeated workflow. Any paid first build begins only after you accept a written scope and quote.

What determines the price?

The workflow boundaries, inputs, outputs, integrations, access requirements and testing needed. You receive a fixed quote for the agreed scope before work begins.

Do we need to replace our current systems?

No. A first build can often work around useful Microsoft, Google, email or file-storage tools already in place.

What documents should we bring?

Several recent examples of the input and finished output, plus checklists or folder rules. Redacted examples are welcome.

What happens to our data?

Scoping can begin with redacted examples. Storage, access, retention, handover and deletion are agreed in the written scope. See the document-handling page.

Who will we deal with?

You deal directly with Emmet Delaney, the engineer who scopes and builds the work.

What happens after the first build?

Your team reviews and approves it, receives the agreed handover material, and decides whether to stop, support it or scope another bounded improvement.

Can redacted examples be used?

Yes. Keep the document structure and remove names, rates, addresses or other sensitive details that are not needed to understand the workflow.
