HB NEXT is introducing a new game-changing feature to our job boxes: digital access to job box environmental compliance records. With this innovation, access to job site compliance documentation is as simple as scanning a QR code.

That’s right. Paper is still present (for the foreseeable future), but the fast, accurate, and fun way to access permits, historical inspections, site maps and more is using the camera on your phone or tablet. Here’s a short video showing how digital job site box access works:

Digital access to environmental records is one of the key customer benefits of digital transformation in the construction industry, with HB NEXT and it’s Sequence XT software leading the way. For some time, HB NEXT’s team has used Sequence XT software to scan and upload permit and inspection documents into a secure cloud account. Site teams with access to Sequence XT software accounts have experienced the power, security, document-retention and cost-savings benefits of digital recordkeeping.

Now, though adding QR Codes to job boxes, the benefits of cloud-based storage and secure digital record access become available instantly to anyone—owners, project leaders, crews, municipalities—who needs read access, even if they don’t have Sequence XT software.

HB NEXT is rolling out job boxes with QR codes and digital record access at new sites beginning in April 2026.
