01 · SCOPE & CHARTER

Every project starts as a governed brief.

Scope, objectives and budget captured once in the Project Charter, then routed through your approval chain. Once signed, the charter locks — no quiet edits throughout the project, and scope changes due to memory loss.

On final approval the charter locks. Changes need a formal, recorded unlock.
02 · PLAN & TRACK

One plan. One budget. Zero spreadsheets.

Budget sheet, Gantt and storyboard programme live together in Plan & Track. Set the approved budget, forecast the spend, and watch both move as the work does. Budget and programme tasks are fully integrated and update to all members live. As the project progresses, the dashboard updates automatically.

03 · PROCUREMENT

The right supplier — and the paper trail to prove it.

Scope each work package and its deliverables, invite and notify suppliers, then run the tender in the open. Bids land side by side, the award is scored against your criteria, and every decision is justified on the record.

04 · Build

Watch the build rise — from any desk.

Use the familiar Gantt to plan out your project, then use the storyboard to visualise the programme on your site plan. Clear communication is clear, and when everyone knows what is happening and where, the project can run smoother and safer.

05 · Commission & Quality

Quality isn’t a folder. It’s a gate.

Track every asset on site through their lifecycle via Kanban boards. Either with industry standard systems (ASHRAE, BISRIA) or create your own stages to track. Mobile functionality allows checksheets to be completed live, on-site. Checksheets can be linked to assets and commissioning stages ensuring an asset does not progress until critical works are signed off — photos, signatures and all — and an open issue holds the gate. No quiet sign-offs. Issue resolution logs are easily generated via mobile or desktop and tracked simply on the issues page.

Questions

Good to know.

Is Kirby only for construction?
No — Kirby is built for any capital or engineering project: manufacturing upgrades, MEP installs, plant replacements, facilities works and full new-builds. If it has a budget, a schedule and a handover, Kirby fits.
How long does onboarding take?
Most teams are running live projects within a few days. You can import budgets from a spreadsheet, start from a commissioning template, and invite your team in one sitting. Build and Programme plans include guided onboarding.
Can contractors and suppliers access it?
Yes. Because pricing is per workspace — not per seat — you can invite contractors and suppliers without watching a meter. Scoped permissions make sure they only see their own checksheets, POs and drawings.
Does it work on phones and tablets?
Yes — Kirby is mobile-first. Site teams capture checksheets, raise issues, view drawings and sign off POs from a phone or tablet, online or off. The same workspace, scaled to a smaller screen.
Does Plan & Track replace our finance system?
No — it sits alongside it. Plan & Track holds the project budget, commitments and forecast in real time, so you can reconcile to your finance system. You can export the figures whenever you need them.
What about data security?
Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, hosted in UK/EU regions, with role-based access throughout. Every action and document change is captured in a tamper-evident audit log, and Build and Programme can export the full audit trail for your golden-thread record.
