Product updates

What's new in The Site Book

New features and improvements, as they ship. We release most weeks — this page keeps the highlights in one place.

IntegrationsDocuments

Export your site documents straight to Dropbox or OneDrive

Connect Dropbox or OneDrive in Settings → Integrations, then click Export to Dropbox or Export to OneDrive on a project to send its latest RAMS, Construction Phase Plan and COSHH PDFs to that project's own folder. Pro and above.

  • It works like the Google Drive export: The Site Book works inside its own app folder, an unchanged document is filed once however often you export it, and the files already in your folder are always kept.
  • OneDrive works with work, school and personal Microsoft accounts.

Integrations

Sync project clients to QuickBooks Online

On Pro and above, connect your QuickBooks Online company in Settings → Integrations, then click Sync with QuickBooks on a project to add its client as a QuickBooks customer, ready to invoice.

  • A customer already in QuickBooks is matched to the project, and a sync adds any email or phone number QuickBooks is missing while keeping every detail your bookkeeper has set.

IntegrationsProjects

See your due dates in Outlook, Google or Apple Calendar

On Pro and above, turn on a private calendar feed in Settings → Integrations and subscribe to it from the calendar you already use. Your company's due dates appear as all-day events and keep themselves up to date.

  • On Pro, the feed covers project start and finish dates, worker certificate expiries, permit end dates, subcontractor insurance and RAMS expiries, and COSHH data sheet reviews. Business and above adds company document expiries and plant inspections.
  • Worker certificate expiries are grouped by day to keep names private, and you can regenerate the address or turn the feed off at any time.

InductionsWorkersBusinessAudit Pack

Induction records keep the exact wording each worker saw

On Business and Site Control, when a worker acknowledges the site details on the portal or a site QR page, The Site Book now keeps the exact wording and language they were shown, so each record stays exactly as the worker saw it however the project is updated later.

  • Owners, admins and site-access managers can read the saved wording in the project's Access tab audit log and CSV export.
  • The project's Audit Pack, on Pro and above, points each acknowledgement to the wording it was given, and the full pack prints each saved version once in an appendix.

Site ControlPlans

Simpler Site Control pricing

Site Control is now a flat per-site monthly price with unlimited workers, no setup fee and no volume tiers, month to month. A limited number of founding places carry a reduced per-site price, locked for two years.

See Site Control →

BusinessTeamsDocuments

A shared company library on Business and Site Control

Business and Site Control accounts now have a Company library alongside each person's own: shared documents, RAMS document defaults and saved safety data sheet uploads. Owners and admins look after it, and authorised teammates can view and reuse what is in it.

  • Switch between Personal and Company in Settings → Company Docs and Settings → Document Defaults, and use Copy to company library to share one of your own documents as an independent company copy.
  • Tick Use company defaults in the RAMS wizard to generate with the company's statements for that document.
  • Company copies stay with the company when the person who uploaded them leaves.

IntegrationsTeamsSite Control

Microsoft 365 publishing and Teams notifications

Site Control teams can now publish approved, issue-confirmed documents to a chosen SharePoint folder and send Teams channel notifications for document approvals and publications.

  • Choose automatic publishing after approval or publish a current document on demand. Delivery history records the version, status and SharePoint link.
  • Teams notifications cover approval requests and published documents, with a test message before you enable the channel.
  • On Site Control, Teams setup uses Microsoft’s standard Teams webhook trigger and card action in Power Automate; a Premium licence is not needed for that flow.

GuidesSite safety

New guide on recording a site walkaround

A new guide covers what to look at on a whole-site walkaround and what the written record needs to say, and the principal contractor duties guide now sets out a practical coordination sequence for a small site.

  • The walkaround guide covers setting a sensible frequency, the fields each record should contain, who owns an action and by when, and the evidence that closes it out.
  • It points to the competent person's process for scaffolds, excavations, ladders and fall-arrest equipment rather than treating one general form as their report.
  • The principal contractor guide adds a coordination sequence for a small site, and what to look at when a new trade arrives part-way through a job.

Read the site walkaround record guide →

GuidesSite safety

New excavation inspection and subcontractor RAMS review guides

Two practical new guides — recording excavation inspections, and reviewing a subcontractor's RAMS before their work starts — plus refreshed excavation safety and site welfare guides.

  • The excavation inspection guide walks through what each inspection record needs to cover, with a checklist you can follow on site.
  • The subcontractor RAMS review guide covers what to look for before accepting a subcontractor's RAMS, and what to send back when it falls short.
  • The excavation safety refresh replaces fixed depth-and-distance shortcuts with site-specific planning, and separates a safe restart from the Regulation 24 reporting duty.

Excavation inspection guide →

BusinessProjectsSite safetyAudit Pack

Plant and equipment records now connect to each project

On Business and Site Control, you can import an existing plant register, assign items to projects, track the certificates and inspections each item needs, and record defects or take an item out of use.

  • Plant evidence and check history is carried into the project's Audit Pack, on the same Business and Site Control plans.
  • Expiry reminders and evidence status follow the dates and requirements your account records, giving your competent person the full history to hand for every decision.
  • The same project-scoped Plant records support checks, defects and corrective-action follow-up.

ProjectsAudit Pack

Keep the permits your client issues to you

On Pro and above, a project can now hold the permits handed to you on someone else's site — a hospital, school or factory. The client keeps the original paper, so your photographs are the record.

  • Photograph the permit as you are given it at the gate, or upload the PDF. Owners and admins can record one — and on Business and above, so can the site supervisor who is usually the person handed it.
  • Photograph the completed form before the signed original goes back, so the evidence that the permit was closed out stays with the job.
  • Open and Signed off sections show what is still outstanding, and the captures are carried into the project's Audit Pack — on Pro and above — listed separately from the permits you issue yourself.

How to: Store permits your client issues to you →

BusinessPlansTeams

Business now includes 10 team logins and 50 portal users

The Business plan's included capacity doubled: ten internal team logins and fifty active site portal users. Existing Business accounts were raised automatically — nothing to ask for.

  • The Team page counts active logins and pending invitations against the ten seats. Site portal users are counted separately, account-wide.
  • Where an account had already been given an allowance above the new numbers, it was kept — the increase never reduces a higher limit.

How to: Invite your team: logins, roles and permissions →How to: Site Access: portal users and the site portal →

TeamsBusiness

Site supervisors now see only the sites you assign them

A site supervisor's login is scoped to the saved sites (or single projects) you pick on the Team page — not the whole account. Assign a site once and every job there, including future ones, is covered.

  • On the Team page, open Sites under a supervisor's row to assign saved sites or one-off projects.
  • A newly invited supervisor sees an empty project list until you assign something — the Team page warns you when a supervisor has nothing assigned.
  • Projects can be linked to a saved site when you create them, so “which jobs are at this hospital?” finally has an answer.

How team roles work →

BusinessSign-off

Optional worker PINs for shared-link document sign-off

On Business and above you can optionally require each worker's 4-digit PIN before they sign a document from the shared crew link, giving the sign-off record an extra identity check while attendance works exactly as before.

  • Each worker chooses their own PIN. Five wrong attempts lock that name for 15 minutes; an owner, admin or assigned Site Supervisor can reset a forgotten PIN.
  • Successful document records show PIN verified, a clear record that the PIN registered to that worker was entered.
  • Set the company default on Team, then follow it or override it from the project's Workers tab.

How to: Add PIN evidence to shared-link document sign-off →

ProjectsAudit Pack

Correct the Site Diary without losing the evidence trail

On Pro and above you can edit a saved Site Diary entry, and live entries now appear in the Audit Pack with their photo counts. Owners/admins can delete permanently; a Business Site Supervisor's delete is retained for owner/admin restore.

  • Edit the entry's weather, workers, work, issues, delays, visitors or photos, then save the corrected record.
  • A Site Supervisor can remove a mistaken entry from the live diary without being able to destroy it; owners and admins see the deleted record and can restore it with its photos.
  • Deleted entries stay out of the compliance Audit Pack but remain labelled in a Download my data export.

Projects

Save a job as a template and start the next one from it

On Pro and above you can save a finished project as a reusable template, then start new jobs from it instead of from a blank page.

  • Save as template is in the project actions menu; your saved templates live on the Templates tab of Saved Data.
  • A new job created from a template carries the scope, the method statements and — on Pro and above, where it is available — the COSHH selection you set up last time.
  • The site address, nearest hospital, assembly point and isolation points are never carried over — you give the new job its own, so its emergency plan points at the right place.

BusinessDocuments

Approved before workers are asked to sign, plus wind on the diary

A batch of changes Business customers asked for: nothing goes out for worker sign-off before it is approved, RAMS sign-off progress is visible where you already look, and the site diary can record wind speed.

  • On Business and above, where a document has a named approver, worker sign-off requests are held until that version is approved — and issued automatically the moment it is.
  • RAMS sign-off progress now shows on the Documents page, the project overview and the dashboard health view.
  • Site diary entries can record wind speed alongside the weather.
  • A weekly email reminder for site inspections that are due.

SupersededTeams

New team role: Site Supervisor

On Business and above you can now invite a site supervisor — a field-only login for the person running the site day to day, without showing them the rest of your account.

This note records the original release. The access model was replaced later. See the current behaviour →

  • On Business and above at launch, site supervisors could write the Site Diary, record Inspections and corrective actions, log Incidents and add Photos across the account. Assigned-site/project scoping replaced that access model on 6 August 2026.
  • Documents, worker contact details, Team, settings and billing stay out of sight. The current role also has a restricted Crew tab for worker names, PIN status and Reset PIN.
  • Invite one from the Team page. A site supervisor uses a normal team seat.

How team roles work →

MobileUsability

Faster navigation on your phone

Working one-handed on site got easier. The app now uses slide-up menus on mobile, so every action sits within easy reach of your thumb.

  • Project pages get a menu sheet listing every section, so you can jump straight to the one you need.
  • Document pages replace the mobile action wall with a single tidy document menu.
  • Document wizards now show which step you are on, with an all-steps sheet to jump between them.
  • The Site Access surface gets its own section jump menu.
Free tools

Embed our free RAMS generator on your own site

The free RAMS generator is now available as an embeddable widget, so trade associations, training providers, and merchants can offer it directly on their own pages.

Help CentreAI

New Help Centre — and an assistant that reads it

A full Help Centre is live, with step-by-step recipes for every part of the app using the real button names you see on screen.

  • Every surface is documented — from generating a RAMS to Site Access and team roles.
  • The in-app AI assistant answers from the same articles, so its guidance is grounded in the documentation rather than in general knowledge about construction software.

Open the Help Centre →

Sign-offWorkers

One sign-off record for every document a worker has to sign

Toolbox talks, emergency plans and site inductions now run through a single, version-aware sign-off chain on every plan, so you can see who signed what — and which version they actually saw.

  • Regenerate a document and the previous sign-offs are marked superseded rather than deleted, keeping the original record intact, and a fresh request appears in the worker's portal for the new version.
  • Each record keeps how the document was read and where it was signed, so the evidence stands up later.
  • One shareable crew link per project replaces per-document sign links; workers pick themselves from your project roster. Existing links redirect into the new flow.
  • RAMS sign-off can be switched on per project from the Site Access page on Business and above.

How to: Get your crew to sign off documents from their phones →

WorkersPortal

Workers get an ordered to-do list on their phone

Opening a portal link now shows a worker exactly what to do, in order: each document the project requires, one at a time.

  • Documents page through before the sign button unlocks, so nobody signs something they have not opened.
  • COSHH assessments appear in their own read-only section on every plan — no signature needed, just the safety information to hand.
  • On Business and above, with Site Access switched on for the project, the list continues into acknowledging the site rules and checking in.

How to: What your workers see when they open the crew link →How to: Site Access: portal users and the site portal →How to: Site attendance: who's signed in, history and reports →

COSHHDocuments

Deeper COSHH: read the SDS, assess it per site

On Pro and above, upload a manufacturer's safety data sheet and the hazard statements, PPE, first aid, storage and exposure detail are pulled into your COSHH library, with a confidence badge on each field so you know what to check.

  • Each substance can carry a site-specific assessment per project — quantity and use, location, who is exposed, your controls, and the residual risk.
  • Pro and above can also generate COSHH assessments as their own standalone document.
  • The built-in library covers UK construction substance classes, and grows as further entries clear our review process.

How to: COSHH assessments: smart search and SDS upload →

Audit PackDocuments

A fuller Audit-Ready Pack

The Audit-Ready Pack still downloads as one merged PDF, and now carries the evidence behind the documents as well as the documents themselves. Pro and above.

  • Added sections for document version history, induction acknowledgements, attendance, toolbox-talk acknowledgements and RAMS sign-offs.
  • Evacuation drills and muster counts, plus right-to-work and CSCS card record-keeping status.

How to: Export your audit trail with the Audit-Ready Pack →

InductionsWorkers

Site inductions in eight more languages

Workers can read the site safety information in Polish, Romanian, Lithuanian, Bulgarian, Russian, Ukrainian, Portuguese or Spanish before they sign. On Business and above.

  • Site rules, welfare, fire strategy, first aid, emergency procedures and assembly point are translated and cached per project, refreshing whenever you change the English.
  • You can review and overwrite any translation yourself from the project's Access area. The English induction document remains the record.

Site ControlIntegrations

SSO, a read-only API and webhooks for Site Control

Site Control accounts can now connect single sign-on, pull their data programmatically, and get notified when things happen. Site Control only.

  • SAML single sign-on through Okta, Microsoft Entra or any SAML 2.0 provider, with the option to require it across your email domain.
  • Scoped, read-only API keys covering projects, documents, workers, certifications and attendance.
  • Signed outbound webhooks for five events: document generated, document signed, certificate expiring, worker checked in, and induction acknowledged.

How to: Enterprise integrations: SSO, API keys and webhooks →

Early accessSite ControlIntegrations

Procore integration

A Procore data connection that links a company to your account, imports permitted projects and directory users, files compliance PDFs and coordinates RFIs and inspection statuses. Built and in early access for Site Control — talk to us if you run projects in Procore and want to try it.

ProjectsSite safety

Site Safety Setup — the details your documents depend on

Your CPP, RAMS, site induction and emergency plan now wait for eleven site-specific details — things like site rules, welfare, fire strategy, assembly point and nearest hospital — so every document is built on the real details of your site.

  • A three-step Site Safety Setup collects them in one place, and AI Suggest can draft every empty field at once from your project scope for you to check.
  • Each document page shows what is still missing and what it unlocks.
  • Projects created before this launched keep working as before, with a reminder you can dismiss.

Site ControlBilling

Site Control: pay by card or invoice

Site Control accounts can now be billed by invoice as well as card, with access opening as soon as the first invoice is paid.

Blog

Follow the blog by RSS

The compliance blog now publishes an RSS feed, so you can follow new CDM and site-safety articles from your feed reader.

BusinessDocuments

Version history, subcontractor documents and inspections

Business and above gained the record-keeping larger teams asked for: every document version is kept with a history of what happened to it, subcontractor documents are collected against the project, and site inspections can be logged with corrective actions to chase.

Platform

Moved onto our own infrastructure

The whole platform moved to DigitalOcean — app, database, file storage and document generation. Nothing changed on screen; it gives us more headroom and more control over performance and reliability.

Milestone

The Site Book went live

After a month of building, the product opened to real accounts on its own domain, with sign-in, subscriptions and file storage running in production.

MilestoneDocuments

The first version

The first working version of The Site Book: describe a job in your own words — typed or spoken — and get a first-draft RAMS or Construction Phase Plan structured around CDM 2015, ready for you to review and adjust.

  • A library of over fifty construction hazards with their control measures, to pick from rather than write from scratch.
  • Documents render as PDFs and can be shared by secure link.
  • Workers sign from their phone, and each signature is recorded against the document.
  • Built mobile-first, because the people using it are rarely at a desk.
  • Your company details and logo appear on everything generated.
