The last permit
your crew ever struck.

PRIMA is the permit-to-work system for civil & underground works. Lodge, verify, and authorise with surveyor evidence baked in — not bolted on. Strikes don't happen here.

The problem

Permits live in PDFs.
Excavators don't read PDFs.

Civil works fail at the seam between the office and the trench. BYDA responses get printed, transcribed, photographed, and lost. Surveyor evidence sits on a phone. The authoriser signs anyway. Then the bucket finds the gas main.

A permit in a folder is a permit that doesn't exist.
The system

One workspace from lodgement to last reinstatement.

BYDA auto-extract
Lodge once. We parse every authority response into structured assets — depth, material, conditions, referrals — that flow into every downstream step.
Surveyor workspace
A purpose-built field UI. Map + checklist + camera, online or off. Pothole tasks, pin-drop evidence, ±150mm GNSS snap.
Evidence-gated approval
Authorisers can't sign permits without verified utility evidence. The permit and the proof are the same document.
Role-based workflow
Requester → Surveyor → Accepter → Authoriser. Each step locked to its owner. Delegates and additional people supported.
Print-safe PTW
The permit your crew clips to the safety board is the same legal document your lawyer reads. Hashed, timestamped, QR-linked.
Live control revisions
Site changes mid-execute. Amend controls in seconds with counter-signature. Every change captured in the audit trail.
How it works

Seven stages.
Four roles. ONE TRAIL.

Each step is locked to its owner role. Handoffs are explicit, evidence travels with the permit, and the audit log is generated automatically.

Evidence-led approval

Every signature backed by photo, GPS, and pothole.

PRIMA chains every utility on the permit to the surveyor's verification. ±150mm GNSS, depth measurement, photo, and competent-person sign-off. The authoriser sees a green tick or it isn't there.

BYDA response → structured asset
Asset → pothole task
Pothole → photo + measurement
Photo → audited signature
