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.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • 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

  • It lacks native integrations with major Australian construction ERPs or accounting software like Xero or MYOB, requiring manual data handling across systems.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Dumb down version of RS Means assemblies. Residential order of magnitude type work is fine. There is no other pros. If you are looking to check a box that you did an ESI, maybe this is an ok product.
  • See below.

Cons

  • Does not have all the typical structural MEP components. IT service is dismal. Deceptive business practice on subscription services.
  • This was the worst decision I made in my 35 + years in the insurance restoration industry... We tried to make it work but it was such old technology and still in beta. I thought maybe it was me but I had my IT guy sit brown with me and he said it was a joke. The part that was crazy is that I actually have documentation from them saying that they support what I was saying . I asked for my money back and they would not give a refund.
