FORGE — Monexo's Field Hardware Layer for Construction Site Automation
FORGE is the hardware layer Monexo builds on top of a construction firm's existing software stack. It is not a platform or an app — it is physical infrastructure installed on construction sites that captures what actually happens and feeds it directly into the systems the office already runs on (Procore, Sage, Fieldwire, reporting dashboards) automatically, in real time, without anyone typing it in. The site stops reporting to the office. It updates it.
Core capture devices
- GPS plant and equipment tracking — location, idle time, and site movement logged directly into the project management system. No manual timesheets, no phone calls asking where the excavator is, no disputes over equipment hours at month end.
- Concrete cure sensors — monitors the cure, and when concrete meets spec the next workflow stage triggers automatically: notifications sent, programme updated, next trade notified. No superintendent manually checking and updating a status.
- AI site cameras — compare live site progress against drawings in real time. Variance gets flagged before it becomes rework. Progress logs automatically for daily reports, draw requests, and owner dashboards without anyone preparing documentation.
- Button-trigger field devices — a field operator completes a task, checks a safety item, or receives a delivery. One press, and it appears in Procore, Sage, and the dashboard before they walk to the next area. No form, no app, no end-of-day catch-up entry.
Automation levels
Fully automated (zero human relay, device transmits on its own): equipment telematics GPS, machine grade-control GNSS, smart helmets and sensor hard hats, wearable proximity tags and vests, gas/dust/noise monitors, concrete maturity sensors, moisture and temperature IoT loggers, fixed-gate RFID/NFC readers.
Assisted capture (scheduled, light human step like a walk-through, flight, or scan): 360-degree progress cameras, drones for aerial progress, GNSS RTK rovers and robotic total stations, LiDAR and 3D laser scanners.
Operator-driven (person triggers the capture, but data flows into the stack automatically once captured): handheld RFID/NFC scanners, rugged tablets and smartphones, handheld moisture and test meters, standalone in-cab displays.
Who FORGE is for
For construction teams: FORGE removes the manual communication layer between the field and the boardroom. The PM sees what is happening on site without calling the superintendent. The finance director sees actual progress against budget without waiting for the end-of-week report. Subcontractors get triggered notifications automatically when their scope is ready.
For developers and asset owners: FORGE is the visibility layer that makes contractor operations transparent to the people funding them. The owner-side dashboard shows live site progress, updated automatically by hardware on the ground. Draw requests are backed by timestamped photo and sensor data that clears the lender's process without friction.
How FORGE connects
Every data point captured on site — GPS positions, sensor readings, camera analysis, button triggers — flows directly into the platforms the operation already runs on. Procore gets progress updates. Sage gets cost-relevant field events. The reporting layer gets documentation. The developer's dashboard gets visibility. The office and the field become one version of the same project.

🔩 FORGE · Field Hardware Layer
Every automation system stops at the edge of your office.
The moment someone steps onto the site, the data gap opens. What actually happens on the ground — equipment movements, pour progress, safety incidents, tool usage, daily conditions — stays on the ground until someone types it in.
If they remember. If they have time. If the version they type matches what actually happened. That gap is where margin disappears and nobody can trace where it went.
FORGE closes it.
What it is
FORGE is the hardware layer we build on top of your software stack
It is not a platform. It is not an app. It is physical infrastructure installed on your sites that captures what actually happens and feeds it directly into the systems your office already runs on — Procore, Sage, Fieldwire, your reporting dashboards — automatically, in real time, without anyone typing it in.
The site stops reporting to the office. It updates it.

The hardware we deploy — and how automated each piece really is
We're honest about the difference. Continuous-monitoring sensors stream data with zero human relay. Capture tools still need someone to operate them. We deploy the mix that fits your site, and we tell you which is which.

Who FORGE is for
For construction teams
FORGE removes the manual communication layer between your boots and your boardroom. Your PM sees what's happening on site without calling the superintendent. Your finance director sees actual progress against budget without waiting for the end-of-week report. Your subcontractors get triggered notifications automatically when their scope is ready — instead of waiting for a call.
For developers & asset owners
FORGE is the visibility layer that makes contractor operations transparent to the people funding them. Your owner-side dashboard shows live site progress, updated automatically, fed by hardware on the ground. You see what's happening before you have to ask. Your draw requests are backed by timestamped photo and sensor data that moves through the lender's process without friction.
How it connects
FORGE does not replace your software. It feeds it.
Every data point captured on site — GPS positions, sensor readings, camera analysis, button triggers — flows directly into the platforms your operation already runs on. Procore gets the progress updates. Sage gets the cost-relevant field events. Your reporting layer gets the documentation. Your developer's dashboard gets the visibility.
The office and the field stop being two versions of the same project. They become one.
The result
What changes once FORGE is live
Your PM knows what's happening on site without calling anyone.
Your developer sees live progress without requesting a report.
Your draw request goes in with full documentation already attached.
Your subcontractors move from one scope to the next without waiting for a call someone forgot to make.
Your month-end report reflects what actually happened — not what someone reconstructed from memory on a Friday afternoon.
Most automation companies stop at your laptop. We go all the way to the jobsite.
We start with a site audit, mapping where the manual communication layer between your field and your office is costing you the most. You leave with a clear picture of what FORGE would connect, what it would automate, and what it would cost.
