About

Novato is a compliance platform built for Australian general contractors managing subcontractors on construction sites — replacing spreadsheets and manual licence lookups with one audit-ready system. Novato verifies subcontractor trade licences against live Australian state registers (NSW, QLD, expanding), flagging licences that will lapse before a project finishes — not just checking validity today. Beyond licensing, Novato covers AI-assisted SWMS generation, Right to Work verification, digital asbestos registers, plant and equipment tracking, WHS management plans, psychosocial hazard reporting aligned to Part 6A, toolbox talks, incident reporting, and site induction. Built against real state-by-state regulatory differences, including jurisdictions like Victoria and WA with separate OHS/WHS regimes. Novato exists so contractors can prove — not just claim — every subcontractor on site is licensed, insured, inducted, and compliant.

About

SubLien is subcontractor-compliance software for general contractors. It brings lien-waiver requests, COI collection and review, W-9s, vendors, projects, and payment-run records into one workflow. Teams prepare conditional or unconditional progress and final waivers, keep the project state and selected form source visible for customer or counsel review, and collect signatures through secure email links. For COIs, document parsing prefills facts; the customer's reviewer checks the source, edits any recorded value, compares the record with company, project, or optional vendor minimums, and records the customer's conclusion. SubLien works standalone, with optional Procore and QuickBooks Online integrations. Every paid plan includes every feature and unlimited users, vendors, and projects; only document allowance differs. SubLien records the customer's workflow and does not make legal-validity, coverage, compliance, authority, enforceability, or payment decisions.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • I really liked Novato because it makes compliance and reporting feel much simpler and more manageable. The platform is easy to use, well organised, and saves a lot of time compared with handling everything manually. I also liked how straightforward it is to keep track of requirements and stay on top of compliance. Overall, it’s a practical tool that makes a complicated process much easier.
  • Directly pulls real-time data from state databases (like NSW Fair Trading) rather than relying on static or uploaded file. Flags credentials and insurances that are set to expire before a project finishes, preventing lapsed compliance.

Cons

  • Doesn’t connect to myob making it a little harder to sort bills out but I did see the do support Xero perhaps they might support myob one day.
  • It lacks native integrations with major Australian construction ERPs or accounting software like Xero or MYOB, requiring manual data handling across systems.
