innDex was born out of the frustrations of two friends, both civil engineers. Having experienced a number of fragmented processes, they put their heads together and started mapping out a better vision for the challenges modern construction delivery brings.

Starting with site inductions, an important first step for all workforce starting on a project. This ties into access control: geo fencing through to physical turnstiles! On top of this, innDex can be used for RAMs, Toolbox talks, progress reporting, inspections, asset management and much more!

The Principal Contractor gets full visibility over their project teams and ensures compliance. All on site activities which are traditionally paper based can be completed through the innDex app - this gives real time project monitoring and a paperless site.

Subcontractors reap the benefits of having digital tools to keep them compliant, improve productivity, and save money. Digital allocations sheets, progress reporting and RAMs all available on any device.

As a construction technology business, our aim is to make use of 96% of data which is currently seen as a byproduct and wasted in the construction industry, offering affordable innovation to an industry with minimal margin.

Our team of software engineers work around the clock, improving our existing systems and developing new, bespoke solutions to our clients unique needs.
We’re aware that the biggest asset in the construction industry is our people: that’s why we have developed a range of tools to protect and ensure workforce wellbeing, from fatigue management to access to mental health services directly through the innDex app.

We become innovation partners with each and every one of our clients whilst offering unlimited access to each and every one of our tools.
innDex is a fast-growing construction technology company offering a growing suite of integrated software and hardware solutions through open API’s. Simply put, innDex is “Powerful ConTech made easy!

VolkerFitzpatrick was awarded the contract for upgrading Ilford and Romford Stations in early 2019 as part of Crossrail. The purpose of the work was to enhance the customer experience for commuters. The scope of works included improvements to station entrances and the provision of step-free access.

Volkerfitzparick, Network Rail and Crossrail wanted to reduce costs, streamline the onboarding process for new starters on-site and move towards a fully digital construction site.

In March 2020 the UK along with all other countries across the world faced an unprecedented emergency due to Covid-19. Construction sector activity began to decline at the fastest rate since the 2009 financial crisis. This meant sites across the UK were either closing down or dramatically reducing works to only essential tasks. The Construction Leadership Council (CLC) published guidance via the Site Operating Procedures (SOP). The SOP highlighted that site access and egress were key risks owing to prevalence of biometric hand scanners and unreliable card readers. 

The works being carried out at Kings Cross by Morgan Sindall were of critical importance to Network Rail. In fact all rail works were deemed critical to national infrastructure and as such had to continue to ensure the safe operation of rail services.

Following a successful trial on the Purfleet Commercial Park project in November 2020, Readie Construction Limited (RCL) rolled out the innDex systems across their whole entire business in February 2021.
RCL specialises in commercial, industrial, and retail projects, turning over nearly £400m a year with impressive growth year on year.

Circle Development approached innDex 8 months ago as they found themselves spending hours each week; copying and pasting, editing spreadsheets, formatting reports and ultimately understood there was a huge opportunity to improve the effectiveness of their companies processes.

SOLUTION:

Circle are a project delivery consultant who carry out duties for their clients such as; project management, quantity surveying, employers agent and Clerk of Works. With Circle’s business and client base growing rapidly, keeping track and maintaining good records is important.

Circle and innDex have been working together expanding on the innDex platform, bringing together Circle’s processes and increasing the company’s efficiency through the automation of repetitive tasks and providing valuable tools to improve other areas of their business. One of the success stories has been the Clerk of Works tool that innDex has developed alongside Circle, fitting in with their exact requirements and saving Circle 5 working hours per project per week.

Problem:
For structural concrete, any error outside of construction tolerances requires an engineering redesign and often involves costly and timely remedial works:

Breaking, cutting, drilling concrete
Reordering structural reinforcement and concrete
Recasting the concrete and allowing for curing times

Scope of Works:
The Main Contractor partnered with XYZ Reality prior to breaking ground, for the construction of their concrete foundations to ensure that they are built correctly (+/- 5mm) and ready for the structural steel columns:

Incorporating The Atom into the project’s Inspection, Testing and Planning process
Inspecting the structures at the lowest value stage - during the setting-out and during the installation of the reinforcement, embedded elements (including holding-down bolts) and formwork

Results:
In all areas where The Atom was deployed, any errors or issues were detected prior to the concrete pour and the concrete foundations were installed within tolerances and without defects.

For the one location where The Atom could not be deployed, the concrete foundation was built 500mm out of tolerance.

However, using The Atom’s real-time validation, this issue was raised immediately and prior to any ground infill and the steel column installation

Designers at TVS used FenestraPro to locate and define the density of  shading and glazing frit patterns for  the optimal distribution of shading 
values required by the building code.  While collaborating with engineers in  the CD stage of the project, tvsdesign utilized FenestraPro to determine 
how frit patterns and glazing types would impact the overall energy performance of the building while still meeting code compliance. Read more on the case study here: https://www.fenestrapro.com/case-studies/tvs-case-study-identify-frit-patterns/.

This project addresses the rapidly evolving needs of the city’s most innovative commercial tenants and the future of work by repositioning all of the building’s public spaces. Boldly current and reflective of complex fabrication techniques, the spaces are now centered on the human experience and are ready to support the city’s meteoric growth as a high-tech hub.

The design elements directly reference motifs found in and around Seattle, from wood ceilings that emulate the motion of wind and waves to a fractal travertine wall inspired by the region’s tectonic activity. They all work in harmony to shape a series of calming spaces for tenants and visitors to work, recharge, and connect.

Advanced technologies, such as VR modeling, were at the core of a design process through which the team developed a highly tactile and emotional experience for the spaces. The fractal wall was computationally designed and engineered, and each of the 1,400 stone pieces used in its construction was optimized.
