Isolations nobody removed
A permit closed with a lock still applied is how incidents start.
Solutions · By industry
For energy and utilities: high-risk work under real control
Substations, plants and pipelines put hot work, confined spaces and live isolations on the same site. BuildCore enforces the permit checks, tracks punch items through pre-commissioning, commissioning and PGTR, and keeps vendor documents and procurement on the project record.
Sound familiar?
Where these projects lose time and money
Commissioning on spreadsheets
Punch lists split between construction and commissioning lose items at the hand-off.
Vendor documents by email
Test certificates and data sheets need the same control as drawings.
How BuildCore helps
What you'd use, and what it does
Permit to work
- Gas tests (O₂, LEL, H₂S, CO) within 30 minutes of issue
- Lock and tag isolations that must be removed before close
- Hot work, confined space, line breaking and radiography permits
Commissioning
- Punch items by stage — pre-commissioning, commissioning, PGTR, handover
- Material inspections before dispatch
- Hold and witness points on inspections
Vendor documents
- Data sheets and certificates in the controlled register
- Review workflows and C1–C4 responses
- Sealed packages for handover
Procurement
- Prequalified vendors and sealed bids
- Inspected goods receipt; rejections raise NCRs
- Landed cost for imported equipment

3
Test
Gas test inside 30 minutes.
4
Issue
Only now can the permit be issued.
5
Work
Isolation stays on record.
6
Close
Every lock removed, then closed.
Questions
Common questions
Hot work, cold work, confined space, work at height, excavation, electrical isolation (LOTO), lifting, line breaking and radiography, each with its own required checks.
Yes — construction, pre-commissioning, commissioning, PGTR and handover are stages on the same punch register.
Yes. Material inspections can be done pre-dispatch, and a rejection raises an NCR.
