How Hunter Roberts Uses BiltOn to Meet Compliance, Uncover Delays, and Keep Jobs on Track

New York moves fast. Construction moves faster. There’s no margin for admin drag, and even less for compliance mistakes. For Kevin Sestak, Senior Superintendent at Hunter Roberts Construction Group, staying ahead means knowing exactly who’s on site, what they’re cleared to do, and where time is slipping—before the schedule does.

That’s where BiltOn comes in.

“We use it every day.”


Kevin and his team adopted BiltOn at the outset of a major NYC build, choosing it over previous platforms. The goal was simple: better visibility and less friction.


“We primarily use it to track attendance and fulfil DOB requirements for Local Law 196,” Sestak explained. “That means daily logs of who’s on site, their training certs, their orientations. And with BiltOn, it’s been seamless.”


No hardware headaches. No system outages. “The turnstile works. The app works. That’s more than I can say for some of the other vendors we’ve used.”


From Paper Log to Productivity Signal


But BiltOn wasn’t just about checking boxes. It gave Hunter Roberts something far more valuable: insight.


“We weren’t getting the production we expected from our masons,” Kevin said. “BiltOn helped us look back over three months of manpower data and see where the gap was.”


That data wasn’t just historical—it was actionable. Armed with attendance breakdowns, the team shared findings with the trade partner. The mason crew increased headcount by 30–40%, and the workstream moved back on schedule.


“That activity is actually catching up now,” Sestak said. “And it wouldn’t have happened without the visibility BiltOn gave us.”


Compliance Without the Churn


Meeting Local Law 196 requirements is non-negotiable. But doing it manually is a full-time job. With BiltOn, site leads track certifications, orientations, and daily sign-ins in one place. Everything’s logged, time-stamped, and export-ready.

It’s compliance without the clipboard.


Integrated, Backed Up, and Bulletproof


Hunter Roberts also connected BiltOn to Autodesk, streamlining how they capture and back up site activity—from pre-shifts to safety inspections and orientations. No more duplicating data entry across platforms. No more chasing paperwork. Everything syncs, stores, and shows up where it needs to.


“When you consider the cost of an incident, the recovery is astronomical,” said Corey Jones, Corporate Safety Director. “That’s why having the right tools and processes in place isn’t optional—the ROI speaks for itself.”


An App That Earns Its Place

In a world of overengineered safety tools, BiltOn keeps its edge by keeping it simple. Kevin’s verdict?


“I’ve been happy with it. I’ve been pushing it. It’s helped the overall success of this job.”
For Hunter Roberts, BiltOn isn’t just another tool in the stack. It’s become part of how the team meets compliance, manages productivity, and makes sure the schedule holds.
Because when the city doesn’t wait, neither can you.
