McLaughlin & Harvey: one version of the truth across every project

Manual progress reporting takes time, loses accuracy, and leaves gaps in the record that only become visible at close-out. Sablono replaces it with a connected delivery platform that gives McLaughlin & Harvey's site and commercial teams live visibility — and the evidence to back it up.

Why manual reporting slows delivery down

On complex construction and civil engineering projects, progress reporting is often the last thing that gets done well. Site teams are focused on delivery; reporting happens in arrears, from memory, and in formats that don't connect to what the commercial team needs to see. By the time a project reaches close-out, the quality record is patchy, the progress history is fragmented, and pulling together a defensible record of what was delivered, when, and to what standard becomes a major exercise.

What Sablono changes for McLaughlin & Harvey

Sablono is a connected delivery platform. Site teams log progress and quality in real time — replacing manual reporting with live data that flows through to commercial teams automatically. The result is a delivery picture that's always current and a close-out record that's always ready.

Foundation icon-1 Replace manual reporting with live visibility

Site teams log activity as work happens on mobile, rather than compiling progress reports at the end of a shift or week. Commercial and project teams see a live picture of delivery without chasing updates from site.

  • Progress data flows from site to office in real time, not on a reporting cycle
  • No more reconciling what site says with what the programme shows
 
Foundation icon (2) Connected site and commercial teams

Site delivery and commercial management run on the same data rather than separate systems that need to be reconciled. Valuations, variations, and progress conversations are grounded in the same live record rather than competing versions of it.

  • Site progress directly visible to commercial teams without manual translation
  • Reduces the friction and disputes that come from misaligned reporting
 
Foundation icon (3) A defensible quality record at close-out

Every quality check, inspection, and issue close-out is logged as work progresses, building a complete record automatically. At project close-out, that record is already there — structured, timestamped, and defensible — rather than assembled under pressure.

  • Complete evidence of what was delivered, by whom, and when
  • Reduces exposure to post-completion claims and disputes
 

How Sablono Helps

Every team, one delivery platform
Connect McLaughlin & Harvey's site teams, subcontractors, and commercial function within a single structured system. Work sequences are clear, progress is visible across every project, and the data doesn't need to be translated between site and office.

Live delivery visibility for project and commercial teams
Project directors and commercial managers get a real-time view of progress and quality across every project — not a summary compiled from site reports. Issues and risks surface as they happen, not in the next progress meeting.
TrackTraceFlow LP (6)
Activity tracked against the programme, not just reported against it
Progress is logged against the actual work sequence rather than captured in free-form updates. That means delays and blockers are visible against the programme as they occur, giving teams the chance to act before they become critical path issues.
TrackTraceFlow LP (4)
A close-out record that builds itself
Quality checks, inspections, and issue close-outs are logged on site in real time. By project close-out, the evidence record is already complete — structured and timestamped rather than reconstructed from site diaries and email threads.

FAQs

How is this different from the reporting tools we already use? Most reporting tools capture what site teams tell them, on a cycle. Sablono captures what's actually happening on site as it happens — activity logged against the programme in real time rather than summarised after the fact. The difference is that the data is live and connected to quality records, not just a progress narrative.
Our site teams are already stretched. Does this add to their workload? It replaces workload rather than adding to it. The time site teams currently spend compiling end-of-day or end-of-week progress reports is replaced by real-time logging on mobile as work happens — faster in the moment and more accurate than retrospective reporting.
We work with a range of subcontractors and trades. Can they all use it?

Commercial teams get a live view of site progress that's grounded in the same data site teams are logging — not a translated or summarised version. That makes valuations, variations, and progress conversations faster and less disputed, because everyone is working from the same record.

We work across civil engineering, building, and fit-out. Does it work across different project types? Yes. Sablono structures work around the programme and activity sequences relevant to each project type rather than applying a one-size-fits-all template. The platform is used across building, civils, and fit-out environments.
What does the close-out record actually look like? At project close-out, the platform produces a complete, exportable record of every activity logged, quality check completed, and issue raised and closed — with timestamps and responsible parties. It's structured to be shared with clients or used in dispute resolution rather than assembled from scattered documents under pressure.
Can it work across multiple concurrent projects? That's where it adds the most value at scale. Because every project operates within the same platform, project directors and commercial leadership get visibility across the full portfolio — not just individual project updates compiled into a summary report.
