What is FieldQ?
FieldQ is UK-based construction snag management and site inspection software for main contractors, subcontractors and clients. Teams use it to raise defects with photos, pin them to drawings, submit PDF inspection forms and export a complete Golden Thread record — all from a phone browser, with no app to install. It costs £99.99 per month for unlimited projects and users.
What is snagging software?
Snagging software replaces paper snag lists and spreadsheets with a live digital record of construction defects. Each snag is logged with photos, a location pinned on the drawing, a priority and an assignee, then tracked through to sign-off. It gives site managers a real-time view of what's outstanding and creates the audit trail UK building regulations increasingly require.
How much does FieldQ cost?
FieldQ costs a flat £99.99 per month per company, including unlimited projects, unlimited team members and 50GB of file storage (additional storage is £25 per month per 150GB block). Every account starts with a 30-day free trial and you can cancel at any time — there is no contract or minimum term.
Is FieldQ compliant with the Building Safety Act 2022?
FieldQ is built around the record-keeping the Building Safety Act 2022 requires: every defect, inspection, comment and status change is timestamped and attributed to a named user in a tamper-evident audit trail, and you can export a complete Golden Thread PDF at handover. Regulatory responsibility always remains with the duty holder — FieldQ provides the records to demonstrate compliance.
What is the Golden Thread?
The Golden Thread is the Building Safety Act's requirement for an accurate, up-to-date digital record of a building's safety information, from design through to occupation. FieldQ maintains this automatically as your team works, and exports it as a single PDF containing every defect, photo, inspection form and its full timeline.
Do subcontractors have to pay for access?
No. A single FieldQ subscription covers unlimited users, so main contractors invite subcontractors at no extra charge. Subcontractors see only the defects assigned to them, can update status and attach fix photos, and never see the rest of the project.
Does FieldQ work offline on site?
Yes. FieldQ runs in the browser with no app download, can be added to your phone's home screen, and keeps working when you lose signal — anything you record offline syncs automatically when you reconnect.
