| Best for | Small UK builders who need CDM documents plus lightweight site H&S operations: RAMS, CPP, COSHH, inductions, toolbox talks, site attendance, site files and worker/visitor portal access. | Large enterprises and operations/EHS teams that need a global checklist and audit platform across multiple industries, not CDM-specific document creation. | Large contractors and developers who need a full project management platform for coordinating multi-million-pound builds. | Operations and H&S teams that want configurable inspection, RAMS, COSHH, reporting, assets, and client portal workflows in one broader field-service platform. |
| Not ideal for | New product (launched 2025) -smaller customer base and shorter track record than established tools like HandsHQ. | Global product -UK CDM 2015 regulations require manual setup and customisation; no UK-specific RAMS/CPP/COSHH content out of the box. | Custom annual pricing depends on turnover and products, so small builders cannot compare a simple monthly CDM-document cost up front. | RAMS and COSHH sit on the Gold plan, which is GBP55 per user per month on monthly billing - expensive for small builders. |

Construction site attendance is not the same buying question as payroll timesheets. The H&S need is practical: know who is on site, support an emergency roll call, and keep the record with the project. That makes The Site Book a useful small-builder option because attendance sits beside RAMS, CPPs, inductions, site files, and worker sign-off rather than in a detached form system.
At-a-glance fit per product - pulled from the same data that drives the snapshot table.
Pick the option that matches how your team actually works.
Choose The Site Book Business when the need is knowing who is on site, keeping a roll-call record, and letting workers and visitors view assigned site information from the same project workflow as RAMS, CPPs, inductions, and toolbox talks. It is web-based, not a native app rollout.
Recommended for: Small UK builders needing H&S site attendance with CDM paperwork
Choose SafetyCulture if site attendance is one checklist inside a wider inspection, audit, incident, and operations programme. It is more configurable and broader than The Site Book, but it is not a UK CDM document generator out of the box.
Recommended for: Enterprise teams with inspection and audit programmes
Choose Procore if attendance sits inside a larger enterprise project-management stack with drawings, RFIs, submittals, cost controls, daily logs, and project collaboration. It is stronger for PM depth, but heavier than a small-builder CDM and H&S workflow.
Recommended for: Large contractors already standardised on a PM suite

Short, straight answers - the same questions real builders ask.
For H&S purposes it should record who is currently on site, which project or site they attended, when they checked in, when they checked out, and enough identity context to support an emergency roll call. It should avoid payroll-style timekeeping language unless that is the actual product purpose. The Site Book frames this as site attendance and people-on-site visibility.
No. The Site Book Business is designed as a web portal inside the main site, so workers, subcontractors, visitors, and team members can access the right view based on who they are when they log in. QR or magic-link access can still reduce friction, but the product claim is a web-based portal, not an iOS or Android app.
SafetyCulture is a better choice when attendance is part of a broader inspection and operations system, especially for organisations already using its checklist, task, incident, and analytics workflows. It is highly configurable, but it does not generate UK RAMS, CPPs, COSHH records, or site inductions by default, so small builders may need another CDM tool.
Procore is the better fit for larger contractors already using a full project-management platform with drawings, RFIs, submittals, schedules, daily logs, document management, and cost controls. Its strength is connected project delivery at scale. The Site Book is narrower and faster for small firms whose attendance need sits beside CDM paperwork and site H&S records.
