The requirements before you go
Scope, site access, the runbook and the evidence the customer needs, before you accept the job.
Know what is expected, prove you did it and get paid for the work it took.
You do the work on site. FortyFive makes sure the business that hired you can see it was done right, so the job is accepted first time and the invoice is not queried.
The problem
Engineers and small firms usually carry the costs of a job first: travel, time, materials and wages. They are often paid last. When a job is queried, it is rarely because the work was wrong. More often a photo is missing, a check was not recorded, extra time was agreed by phone or nobody has signed it off. Every query is a delay, and some end in a revisit you are not paid for.
What FortyFive gives engineers and small firms
A simple way to record the work
Follow the steps on your phone and capture photos, tests, readings and sign-off as you go. Time and location are recorded for you.
Changes recorded when they happen
If the job needs more time or materials, record it and get it approved on the job, not after.
A record that gets accepted
The reviewer sees your evidence against each criterion, so acceptance is a check, not an argument.
A reputation that travels with you
Ratings and delivery history build up as you work, and businesses on FortyFive can find you by skill and coverage.
How payment works
You are paid for the work as agreed with the business that offers the job: confirm rates and terms before you accept. FortyFive | Pay is being developed to connect accepted work to payment, with factoring planned through finance partners to help engineers receive funds sooner on eligible jobs.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
What does FortyFive cost for engineers?
Any platform fee is shown before you accept a job, together with the rates and payment terms for that job.
Do I need special equipment?
No. You use FortyFive on your phone to follow the runbook and capture photos, tests and sign-off.
Am I an employee of FortyFive or the business that offers the work?
No. Engineers and delivery partners are independent businesses using the platform.
Will I get paid faster?
