Council contractor software

The paperwork councils want, without the Friday scramble

SWMS, JSA, inductions, prestarts and dockets — already stored against the job. When the council project manager asks for something, you send a link. Not an email with a PDF attached three days late.

Councils ask for the same five things every time

Current SWMS. Crew inductions. Worker licences. Daily prestarts. Dockets that match the invoice. The job is making all of that easy to produce, not making it perfect on day one.

Built for the office and the operator

The operator does prestarts and dockets on their phone. The office sees it land. Nobody is retyping a paper slip on Friday afternoon.

Send a link, not a PDF

Council PM asks for a SWMS. You send a link. They open it, see the signatures, move on. No version control disasters.

Made in Australia, used Australia-wide

We're a NT family business. Burgy is used by contractors from Darwin to Hobart. Same WHS rules, same problems, one tool.

What's inside

Everything a council job actually demands

  • AI-drafted hazards and controls
  • Crew signs on phone or tablet
  • Versioned and stored per job

FAQ

Council contractor software, answered

What does a council contractor need to be compliant?

Most councils want: current SWMS for any high-risk work, JSA or Take 5 per task, completed inductions for every worker on site, current licences and tickets, prestart records on every machine, and dockets for any labour or plant time being invoiced. Burgy keeps all of that in one place per job.

How does Burgy speed up sending docs to a council project manager?

Documents are already stored against the job. When the council asks for a SWMS, you send a link, not a PDF stuck in someone's email. They open it on their phone and can see the signatures, the version, and the date — straight away.

Can Burgy handle worker induction records for council jobs?

Yes. Every worker has a profile with their licences, inductions, and expiry dates. The system flags expiries before they happen so a worker isn't turned away at the gate.

Does Burgy support multiple councils with different requirements?

Yes. You can run different SWMS templates, hazard libraries and prestart checklists per job or per client. Set it up once per council you work with and reuse for every project.

Do you have to be in the NT to use Burgy?

No. We're built in the NT but Burgy is used by contractors across Australia. WHS regulations are national, council requirements are similar everywhere — same tool works the same way.

How much does council contractor software cost?

Burgy is per-seat — pricing scales with your team size and the amount of plant you track. Book a demo and we'll send you a tailored quote within 24 business hours.
