Building better homes

Web Application, Mobile App, Custom Dashboard

SvelteKit, NativeScript

Castlemore Homes is a growing property developer committed to building high-quality homes across the UK. As their operations expanded, they sought a more efficient and scalable way to manage on-site contractor inductions and safety reporting. They partnered with Developyn to replace outdated paper-based processes with a fully digital, integrated system tailored to their business.

  • Replaced paper-based inductions with a digital mobile app
  • Developed a centralised dashboard for managing sites and reports
  • Streamlined reporting and compliance tracking
  • Reduced time spent per induction from 1–2 hours to minutes
  • Enabled scalable onboarding across multiple sites

Castlemore Homes were relying on manual, classroom-style inductions that were time-consuming and difficult to manage across job sites. Subcontractor onboarding could take up to two hours, and all reports were stored in physical formats prone to being misplaced or lost. Managers were spending excessive time on administrative tasks, and the overall system was not sustainable for a growing company.

  • Inductions took 1–2 hours per subcontractor
  • Risk of losing or misfiling important paper reports
  • No real-time access to contractor or site data
  • High administrative load on site managers
  • Lack of digital structure for operational oversight

Developyn designed and delivered a comprehensive digital solution composed of a mobile induction app and a bespoke web dashboard. The mobile app enabled contractors to induct themselves from their own devices, while the dashboard provided managers with tools to track inductions, complete site safety reports, and manage records all in one place.

  • Bespoke web dashboard for managing users, sites, and reports
  • NativeScript-based mobile app for self-induction and reporting
  • Multi-language support for contractor accessibility
  • Real-time syncing of data between field and office
  • Enhanced user interface to simplify on-site workflows

The transition to a digital system has streamlined Castlemore’s operations. Contractors now complete inductions efficiently without burdening staff, and managers gain instant visibility into compliance and activity across sites. The system not only improved operational speed and accuracy but also helped Castlemore Homes modernise its approach to workforce management.

  • 75%+ reduction in time spent on inductions
  • Centralised, accessible safety and compliance records
  • Reduced paper usage, contributing to eco-friendly goals
  • Greater transparency across projects
  • Long-term scalability as operations grow

“Working with Castlemore Homes was a great example of how digital solutions can bring clarity and efficiency to industries still reliant on outdated processes. By replacing hours of paperwork with a mobile-first solution, we helped Castlemore reduce overhead and gain real-time oversight across their operations.” – Melvyn Matthews, CEO, Developyn
