Novato Reviews

Novato Description

Novato serves as a compliance platform tailored for Australian general contractors overseeing subcontractors in construction environments, streamlining processes by eliminating the need for spreadsheets and manual license verifications through a single, audit-ready system. It not only checks but also verifies subcontractor trade licenses against real-time Australian state registers (including NSW and QLD, with plans for expansion), highlighting licenses that are set to expire before the completion of a project — ensuring proactive compliance. In addition to license management, Novato offers features such as AI-driven Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS) creation, Right to Work validation, digitized asbestos registers, tracking of machinery and equipment, management plans for workplace health and safety, reporting of psychosocial hazards in line with Part 6A, toolbox discussions, incident documentation, and site induction processes. The platform is designed with recognition of the diverse regulatory requirements across various states, including specific OHS/WHS frameworks in jurisdictions like Victoria and Western Australia. Novato empowers contractors to demonstrate with confidence that each subcontractor on-site not only meets all licensing and insurance requirements but is also properly inducted and compliant with relevant regulations. Ultimately, Novato aims to enhance accountability and transparency in the compliance landscape for the construction industry.
