Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Neo Intelligence and how it works

What is Neo’s Site Diary feature?

Neo’s Site Diary feature lets you capture a daily, digital record of what happens on site. Crews record notes, photos, markups of PDFs and supporting documents directly from the field, creating a time stamped, project linked record that is instantly visible to the office.

What kind of subcontractors benefit from Neo’s Site Diary feature?

Neo site diaries are used by subcontractors who need accurate daily records across multiple jobs and crews. This includes concrete, formwork, steel fixing, post-tension, civil construction, and other trade businesses that require on-site evidence to manage progress, variations, defects and disputes.

How does Neo’s Site Diary feature work?

Supervisors and crews record site diary entries in the Field App or Admin Console. Each entry is categorised and automatically linked to the correct client and project, and synced in real-time so the office team has immediate visibility.

Can both the office team and site crews see site diaries?

Yes. Site crews capture diary entries on mobile phones using the Field App, and office teams see them instantly in the Admin Console. Everyone works from the same live record with no duplication or follow up.

How does the drawing markup work in the Site Diary feature?

Users can select a project drawing, mark it up, and attach photos or notes directly to a specific location as part of a single site diary entry. This shows exactly where an issue, defect or activity occurred, removing ambiguity and strengthening evidence.

Is scheduling connected to site diaries and timesheets?

Yes. Site diary entries form part of the daily log, alongside digital timesheets and site forms, creating a complete daily record of labour, activity, compliance and site conditions for each project.

How is Neo’s Site Diaries feature different from other construction software platforms?

Most construction software platforms are built for contractors or project managers and treat site diaries as a standalone record. Neo is built specifically for subcontractors and reflects how work actually happens on site. Site Diaries prioritise speed, accuracy and defensible evidence, while connecting daily records directly to crews, labour, projects and compliance. By linking site diaries with scheduling, timesheets and payroll-ready data in one workflow, Neo removes duplication and gives subcontractors reliable records without stitching together multiple tools.

How does Neo’s Site Diary feature save time and money?

By capturing site information once and structuring it automatically, Neo reduces admin time, prevents lost records and strengthens claims for variations and delays. This protects margins and reduces the cost of disputes and rework.
