Most UK construction site sign-in apps are visitor-management tools (Sine, SwipedOn, WhosOnLocation, ProVisit) that log who is present. Construction-native options (SignOnSite, Sitemate, Collabor8Online) add inductions and attendance. WhosOnLocation documents trigger-based access restrictions for induction requirements. Site Control links check-in to its induction, captures CSCS cards for review, and generates UK CDM documents; compare each product’s published access and construction workflows.
SwipedOn and Sine list visitor sign-in options; SignOnSite lists geofenced construction sign-in; WhosOnLocation documents trigger-based induction access restrictions. SiteConnect states contractors cannot sign in until induction completion. Site Control combines induction-linked check-in with CSCS review and UK CDM document generation.
Features and prices are taken from public vendor product, pricing and directory pages fetched on 2026-06-09, with ProVisit's contractor document-check and induction facts re-checked at provisit.co.uk on 2026-08-05; quote-only vendors are flagged where no public price exists.
From £675/site per month plus £5,000 one-off setup; volume tiers as sites scale
UK: £625–£1,625 per quarter for 1–69 Managed Workers; 70+ is POA. 12-month minimum; unlimited subcontractor companies and their teams are included.
Quote-only; no public per-site or per-user price published — request a demo for a quote.
Quote-led with published plan tiers on the vendor site; per-site pricing for construction is configured via sales rather than a single public per-site figure.
From £415/site per year on the Sign In App tiers (Core £415, Enhanced £835, Pro £1,255)
Quote-only; no public per-site or per-user price published — contact the vendor for a quote.
Published per-user subscription tiers on the vendor site (free, premium and enterprise bands) — transparent for a forms-led platform.
From £199/mo (third-party listings); quote-only on vendor site; month-to-month, unlimited users/projects on higher tiers
Published in GBP per location: Small £43/mo (~£454/yr), Medium £127/mo (~£1,335/yr), Large £228/mo (~£2,379/yr), tiered by yearly sign-in volume, with a custom POA tier above that.
Team size
Per active site with unlimited workers (~75+ typical), multiple contractor companies and assigned-site Site Supervisor logins inherited from Business
1–69 Managed Workers on published UK bands; 70+ is price-on-application. Direct employees, labour-only workers and some sole traders count; external subcontractor companies and their teams are included without separate licences.

Small-to-large construction teams standardising forms, sign-in and records across projects
Small-to-mid UK contractors and principal contractors managing subcontractors across one or several live sites
Single reception desk through to multi-site facilities teams managing many locations.
Best for
Principal contractors and builders running live sites with subcontractors who need UK CDM documents generated plus on-site contractor access, attendance, RFIs and audit-ready evidence in one per-site tool.
UK construction teams seeking a workforce-priced H&S platform with RAMS, CPP, COSHH, inductions, attendance and subcontractor access.
Construction firms that want geofenced sign-in with induction-on-sign-in, live attendance and evacuation muster
Construction and facilities operators that want visitor, contractor and staff sign-in with kiosk and geofence options
Offices and construction-and-building sites that want a simple, low-cost visitor and employee sign-in with published per-location pricing
UK organisations that want a visitor, contractor and employee management system covering sign-in and induction acknowledgement
Construction teams that want a flexible forms platform (Dashpivot) covering site sign-in, RFIs and customisable site records
UK contractors wanting a broad, UK-hosted construction suite covering inductions, RAMS approval, subcontractor management and QR/iPad site sign-in
Workplaces, offices, campuses and multi-occupier buildings that need touchless visitor and contractor sign-in plus reliable emergency muster — not construction-specific CDM compliance.
Not ideal for
No biometric turnstiles or physical access control, so it cannot secure a Tier-1 perimeter the way hardware-led platforms like MSite can.
The UK platform lists RAMS, CPP and COSHH; no RFI or document-review acknowledgement workflow was listed on the reviewed pricing page.
Does not generate the UK CDM pack — no RAMS, CPP or COSHH document creation, so the documents the induction references are authored elsewhere.
Office-visitor-management first: no construction induction-gating that hard-stops a non-inducted worker.
Office-visitor-management first: no construction induction-gating that hard-stops a non-inducted worker.
Visitor-management first: no construction induction-gating that hard-stops a non-inducted worker.
Forms-led, not CDM-native: it does not generate the UK RAMS/CPP/COSHH pack as finished compliant documents.
Does not author RAMS/CPP/COSHH — it only collects and approves subcontractor-supplied RAMS, so the documents are written elsewhere.
Generic workplace VMS, not construction-specific: no RAMS/CPP/COSHH generation, no CSCS card scheme, and no RFIs; configurable induction triggers can restrict access when requirements are incomplete or expired.
RAMS / CPP / COSHH generation
Generates UK RAMS, CPP, COSHH and method statements from the project brief.
UK product and pricing pages list RAMS, CPP and COSHH in the complete platform; no AI generation claim is made here.
SignOnSite delivers briefings and captures sign-off at sign-in; it does not generate UK RAMS/CPP/COSHH documents.
Sine is a visitor-management sign-in product; it does not generate UK RAMS/CPP/COSHH documents.
SwipedOn is a workplace sign-in product; it does not generate UK RAMS/CPP/COSHH documents.
ProVisit is a visitor/contractor/employee management system; it does not generate UK RAMS/CPP/COSHH documents.
Sitemate provides customisable forms and templates; it does not generate the UK CDM RAMS/CPP/COSHH pack as finished compliant documents.
Collabor8Online approves, distributes and tracks RAMS submitted by subcontractors; it does not generate UK RAMS/CPP/COSHH content for you.
Generic VMS; does not generate UK RAMS/CPP/COSHH or any construction safety documentation — it stores and distributes, not authors.

Permits to work
UK construction pages list digital permit forms; reviewed pages do not establish the full issue, approval and close-out workflow.
SWMS and permits advertised on the current site.
—
—
—
—
Permit Management module.
No construction permit-to-work workflow; contractor access is gated by agreements/inductions, not formal hot-works/permit issuance.
Site inductions
Digital induction blocks check-in until acknowledged - readable in 9 worker languages.
UK education page says contractors cannot sign in until their digital induction is complete.
Induction-on-sign-in delivers the site induction the first time a worker signs in, then records acknowledgement.
Inductions/agreements can be presented at sign-in for acknowledgement, but it is not a construction induction-gating engine.
Agreements/documents can be shown at sign-in for acknowledgement, but it is not a construction induction-gating engine.
ProVisit homepage says documents, inductions and certifications can be verified before anyone arrives, and contractors can be made site-ready by verifying RAMS, insurance and inductions.
Induction content can be built as a form/template, but there is no fixed construction induction-gating engine that hard-stops entry.
Online site inductions are a core feature, with induction-gated sign-in so workers complete the induction before entering.
Supports induction management and triggers that can deny access when requirements are incomplete or expired; differs from Site Control’s UK CDM/CSCS workflow.
Multilingual inductions (9 languages)
Workers read and acknowledge key H&S details in 9 languages at the entrance QR; the language used is recorded in the audit trail and translations are site-team reviewable.
—
—
—
—
—
—
—
—
RAMS sign-off (per worker)
Per-worker RAMS acknowledgement can block check-in until the current version is signed. Optional 4-digit PINs add evidence to shared-link document sign-off without changing attendance.

Worker cert tracking
CSCS upload, internal review and expiry notifications.
Contractor management and registers cover compliance documents; compare the listed competency and certificate-expiry alerts with the site's CSCS tracking requirements.
Worker profiles can carry competency information; full CSCS/credential verification is not the headline focus.
No dedicated CSCS/credential verification — sign-in captures identity and agreements, not card validity.
No CSCS/credential verification — sign-in captures identity and agreements, not card validity.
ProVisit homepage says contractor document checks verify and manage certificates, RAMS, insurance and training with automated expiry alerts before contractors arrive.
Credential records can be captured in forms; full CSCS verification is not a built-in check.
Worker competencies and certificates (including CSCS-type cards) are tracked as part of subcontractor management.
Can capture contractor compliance documents and expiries, but no CSCS-specific card scheme or UK competency model.
Right to work
Records Home Office share-code checks with outcome, expiry and an evidence file (manual verification, not a live API).
No formal UK right-to-work ID or share-code verification surfaced; focus is H&S compliance, not immigration checks.
Worker registration captures details; not positioned as a dedicated right-to-work verification flow.
No right-to-work verification workflow; the product is presence and visitor logging.
No right-to-work verification workflow; the product logs presence and agreements.
Registration captures contractor and visitor details; not positioned as a dedicated right-to-work verification flow.
No dedicated right-to-work verification — records are whatever the form template captures.
Onboarding captures worker documents; right-to-work is supported via document collection rather than a dedicated RTW share-code flow.
No UK Right to Work share-code or ID share-code verification; optional OnScan add-on scans ID for identity capture only.
Contractor self-onboarding
Contractor self-join via the entrance QR with CSCS upload and approval.
Contractors connect free without a licence fee and self-manage their company profile and compliance via contractor management.
Workers self-register in the app and complete the induction at first sign-in.
Pre-registration and invites let contractors and visitors register before arrival, but not full construction onboarding.
Pre-registration and invites let visitors and contractors register before arrival, but not full construction onboarding.
Contractors can be made site-ready before arrival by verifying RAMS, insurance, certifications and inductions, with required acknowledgements and compliance records held in ProVisit.
Form-based onboarding is possible, but it is configured rather than a fixed contractor onboarding flow.
Subcontractors self-onboard, upload RAMS and complete inductions through the portal.
Contractors can pre-register and complete agreements ahead of arrival via the contractor portal.
QR / mobile sign-in
Permanent entrance QR for guest sign-in/out and contractor self-join.
Public QR code sign-in lets visitors check in without downloading the app.
Geofenced and QR sign-in via the worker app captures presence as workers enter the site.
QR, iPad kiosk and the Sine Pro mobile app with geofence capture sign-in at the entrance — a core strength.
QR and iPad kiosk sign-in plus an employee mobile app make sign-in fast — a core strength.
Digital sign-in via kiosk/QR captures visitors, contractors and employees at the entrance.
A site sign-in app captures who is on site via QR/mobile, recorded as form entries.
QR-code and iPad digital sign-in capture attendance and acknowledgements at the entrance.
Touchless QR/mobile sign-in supported without mandatory hardware; kiosk and OnScan scanner are optional add-ons.
GPS clock-in
Geofencing sets virtual boundaries around sites and auto signs users in/out on entry, exit or dwell.
—
—
—
—
—
—
Presence is sign-in/sign-out and proximity based; no geofenced GPS clock-in feature published.
Biometric access
No fingerprint or facial-recognition access; sign-in is geofence, QR or kiosk based.
App-based geofenced sign-in; no biometric hardware.
Kiosk/app sign-in; no biometric turnstiles or readers.
Kiosk/app sign-in; no biometric hardware.
Software/kiosk sign-in; no biometric hardware.
Forms and mobile app; no biometric hardware.
Software-only; no fingerprint or facial biometric hardware.
No fingerprint or facial biometric capture; integrates with third-party access control rather than providing biometrics.
Physical access control
Software-based sign-in only; no turnstiles or gate hardware integration documented.
No turnstiles or gates — presence is captured by geofence/app sign-in, not physically controlled.
Integrates with some access-control systems, but Sine itself logs presence rather than physically locking a perimeter.
No turnstiles or gates — presence is logged via kiosk/app sign-in.
Can integrate with access-control systems, but ProVisit itself logs presence rather than physically locking a perimeter.
No turnstiles or gates — sign-in is logged, not physically controlled.
No turnstiles or gates — access is logged via QR/iPad sign-in rather than physically controlled.
Does not provide turnstiles itself but integrates with access-control/door hardware to trigger entry on sign-in.
Site attendance
Check-in/out, history and a live people-on-site view.
Attendance is one of the four core pillars, recording site visitors and sign-in/out times.
Attendance and time-on-site are captured automatically via geofenced sign-in/out.
Sign-in/out records who is on site and when, with reporting for evacuation.
Sign-in/out records who is present, with evacuation lists and reporting.
Sign-in/out records who is on site for attendance and evacuation.
Sign-in records and timesheet forms capture attendance and who is on site.
Digital sign-in records attendance and who is on site, with acknowledgements captured at entry.
Tracks on-site presence with sign-in/out timestamps and reporting, though framed as presence rather than payroll T&A hours.
CIS payroll
No CIS timesheet-to-pay or payroll export surfaced; attendance data is for H&S not pay.
—
—
—
—
—
No CIS payroll engine — the suite focuses on documents, inductions and subcontractor management, not timesheet-to-pay.
No UK CIS timesheet-to-pay or payroll export; this is a presence/VMS tool, not a payroll system.
Live people-on-site
Triggered evacuation + muster roll-call: snapshot who is on site, mark each person safe, export a roll-call PDF.
Real-time attendance records who is on site, supporting evacuation and muster needs.
A live people-on-site view and evacuation muster/roll-call are core strengths.
A live who's-on-site view and evacuation reporting are core to the visitor-management model.
A live who's-in view and evacuation list support roll-call.
A live who's-on-site view and evacuation reporting support roll-call.
Sign-in records show who has signed in; compare the product's attendance features with any real-time roll-call requirements.
Sign-in data shows who is currently on site for muster and reporting.
Live people-on-site dashboard plus dedicated emergency evacuation/muster roll-call is a core strength.
Multi-company isolation
Each contractor company sees only its own workforce — test-verified.
Contractor management connects multiple companies and includes their teams; confirm with the vendor which records each contractor company can access.
Subcontractor companies are managed per site; test-verified per-company data isolation is not a published claim.
Multi-site/host management exists; test-verified per-contractor-company data isolation is not a published claim.
Designed around a single workplace per location; no per-contractor-company data isolation model.
Contractor companies are managed per site; test-verified per-company data isolation is not a published claim.
Projects and teams can be scoped; test-verified per-contractor-company data isolation is not a published claim.
Subcontractor companies are managed within a contractor's account; test-verified per-company data isolation is not a published claim.
Supports multiple locations and contractor companies, but is built for a single managing organisation, not contractor-company self-service data isolation.
RFIs
Create, attach, comment, answer and close.
No request-for-information workflow; the platform centres on H&S compliance, not project coordination.
No request-for-information workflow — SignOnSite focuses on sign-in, inductions, attendance and evacuation.
No request-for-information workflow — Sine is sign-in and visitor management.
No request-for-information workflow — SwipedOn is sign-in only.
No request-for-information workflow — ProVisit is visitor/contractor management.
RFI templates and automated RFI workflows are a genuine strength of the Dashpivot forms platform.
Dedicated RFI Management module.
No request-for-information workflow; not a project-collaboration tool.
Document-review evidence
Version-specific read/acknowledge audit chain.
Toolbox talks capture digital signatures and attendance; a version-specific read/acknowledge audit chain for documents is not clearly evidenced.
—
—
—
—
Form submissions and approvals are tracked; a version-specific document-review evidence chain is not the same as Site Control's.
RAMS and document approval/acknowledgement is tracked, giving an audit trail of who reviewed what.
Captures acceptance of contractor agreements and policy documents at sign-in, but not version-specific document-review acknowledgement chains.
Handover sign-off
Per-plot, per-trade hand-over sign-off is captured in person on one phone; a certified PDF is emailed to the developer and contractor, with a per-plot progress board.
—
—
—
—
—
—
Toolbox talks
Toolbox talks support scheduling, attendance tracking and digital signatures for daily briefings.
Pre-start briefings and safety messages are delivered to workers at sign-in with acknowledgement.
—
—
—
—
Document distribution can carry briefings; a dedicated recurring toolbox-talk module is not separately headlined.
No construction toolbox-talk broadcast-and-acknowledge workflow; can send trigger messages but not trade safety briefings.
Site inspections
Pre-start checklists and customisable mobile forms cover daily site safety inspections (PPE, barriers, signage).
—
—
—
—
Inspections, audits and checklists are core form types in Dashpivot.
—
No site inspection module.
Incident log
Incident and injury management lets teams report and investigate incidents with custom workflows.
Briefings and alerts can surface safety information; a dedicated incident log is not the headline.
—
—
—
Incident and hazard report forms are standard Dashpivot templates.
—
Has alerting and emergency tooling; no dedicated construction incident/accident log out of the box.
Plant / asset management
Business and Site Control include spreadsheet import, project assignments, configured evidence, inspections, defects, quarantine, exports and Audit Pack history.
SiteConnect Asset Management covers plant, equipment, vehicles and tools: register, inspection/maintenance reminders, QR labels, linked hazards/incidents/tasks, bulk import and CSV/XLSX/PDF export.
—
—
—
—
—
—
No plant or asset register; asset-style tracking is for people/visitors, not equipment.
Workforce scheduling
No dispatch or rostering/scheduling capability documented; focus is compliance not workforce planning.
—
—
—
—
—
—
No dispatch, rostering or workforce scheduling.

Native mobile app for forms, sign-in and inspections with offline capture.
Mobile and iPad apps support sign-in, induction and document access on site.
Mobile apps for employees, hosts and evacuation roll-call, plus mobile contractor sign-in.
Offline mode
Mobile-first field use is emphasised but offline capture behaviour is not clearly documented.
—
—
—
—
—
—
Offline/evacuation continuity features exist for muster scenarios, but full offline operation is not the headline mode.

The Site Book Site Control
Best for
Principal contractors and builders running live sites with subcontractors who need UK CDM documents generated plus on-site contractor access, attendance, RFIs and audit-ready evidence in one per-site tool.
Not ideal for
No biometric turnstiles or physical access control, so it cannot secure a Tier-1 perimeter the way hardware-led platforms like MSite can.
Team size
Per active site with unlimited workers (~75+ typical), multiple contractor companies and assigned-site Site Supervisor logins inherited from Business
SiteConnect
Best for
UK construction teams seeking a workforce-priced H&S platform with RAMS, CPP, COSHH, inductions, attendance and subcontractor access.
Not ideal for
The UK platform lists RAMS, CPP and COSHH; no RFI or document-review acknowledgement workflow was listed on the reviewed pricing page.
Team size
1–69 Managed Workers on published UK bands; 70+ is price-on-application. Direct employees, labour-only workers and some sole traders count; external subcontractor companies and their teams are included without separate licences.
SignOnSite
Best for
Construction firms that want geofenced sign-in with induction-on-sign-in, live attendance and evacuation muster
Not ideal for
Does not generate the UK CDM pack — no RAMS, CPP or COSHH document creation, so the documents the induction references are authored elsewhere.
Team size
Mid-to-large contractors managing presence, inductions and evacuation across active sites
Sine (by Honeywell)
Best for
Construction and facilities operators that want visitor, contractor and staff sign-in with kiosk and geofence options
Not ideal for
Office-visitor-management first: no construction induction-gating that hard-stops a non-inducted worker.
Team size
Mid-to-large organisations standardising visitor/contractor sign-in across multiple sites and offices
SwipedOn
Best for
Offices and construction-and-building sites that want a simple, low-cost visitor and employee sign-in with published per-location pricing

Sitemate (Dashpivot)
Best for
Construction teams that want a flexible forms platform (Dashpivot) covering site sign-in, RFIs and customisable site records
Not ideal for
Forms-led, not CDM-native: it does not generate the UK RAMS/CPP/COSHH pack as finished compliant documents.
Team size
Small-to-large construction teams standardising forms, sign-in and records across projects
Collabor8Online
Best for
UK contractors wanting a broad, UK-hosted construction suite covering inductions, RAMS approval, subcontractor management and QR/iPad site sign-in
Not ideal for
Does not author RAMS/CPP/COSHH — it only collects and approves subcontractor-supplied RAMS, so the documents are written elsewhere.
Team size
Small-to-mid UK contractors and principal contractors managing subcontractors across one or several live sites
WhosOnLocation (MRI OnLocation)
Best for
Workplaces, offices, campuses and multi-occupier buildings that need touchless visitor and contractor sign-in plus reliable emergency muster — not construction-specific CDM compliance.
Not ideal for
Generic workplace VMS, not construction-specific: no RAMS/CPP/COSHH generation, no CSCS card scheme, and no RFIs; configurable induction triggers can restrict access when requirements are incomplete or expired.
Team size
Single reception desk through to multi-site facilities teams managing many locations.
The bottom line
Pick the option that matches how your team actually works.
Choose The Site Book Site Control if…
Site Control links check-in to its induction, captures and reviews CSCS cards, and generates RAMS, CPP and COSHH. WhosOnLocation documents trigger-based access restrictions for induction requirements; compare the additional construction-document and CSCS workflows you need.
Recommended for: Principal contractor wanting sign-in to be a control gate, not a guestbook
Choose SwipedOn if…
SwipedOn publishes per-location visitor and employee sign-in pricing for teams that need presence logging.
Recommended for: Team comparing published visitor sign-in pricing
Choose Sine (by Honeywell) if…
Sine, backed by Honeywell, lists QR, kiosk and geofenced sign-in with evacuation reporting across locations.
Recommended for: Operator standardising visitor and contractor sign-in across sites and offices
Choose SignOnSite if…
SignOnSite lists GPS-geofenced sign-in for construction teams. Site Control can trigger an evacuation, snapshot the on-site roster, mark people safe and export a roll-call PDF; it also generates UK CDM documents and links QR check-in to its induction workflow.
Recommended for: Contractor wanting construction-native geofenced sign-in plus evacuation
Choose Sitemate (Dashpivot) if…
Sitemate's Dashpivot captures sign-in as configurable forms and adds genuine RFI templates, a fit for teams standardising records rather than buying a fixed compliance engine.
Recommended for: Team that wants sign-in inside a flexible forms platform
Full breakdown per product
Strengths, weaknesses, fit, and the sources every claim came from.
From £675/site per month plus £5,000 one-off setup; volume tiers as sites scale
Best for
Principal contractors and builders running live sites with subcontractors who need UK CDM documents generated plus on-site contractor access, attendance, RFIs and audit-ready evidence in one per-site tool.
Team size
Per active site with unlimited workers (~75+ typical), multiple contractor companies and assigned-site Site Supervisor logins inherited from Business
Sweet spot
A principal contractor running one or more active sites who must generate the CDM pack, control who is inducted and on site, run RFIs, and produce audit-ready attendance and H&S exports without hardware.
Strengths
Generates UK RAMS, CPP, COSHH and method statements, and captures worker sign-off on site.
Per-site pricing with unlimited workers (~75+) and test-verified multi-contractor-company data isolation, instead of per-seat or per-turnstile economics.
No hardware: a permanent entrance QR plus browser sign-in on the worker's phone means a new site needs no turnstile capex or install.
Combines RFIs, document-review evidence, CSCS and induction gating, attendance and audit-grade exports in one tool — plus SSO (Okta / Microsoft Entra), a scoped REST API and signed webhooks for enterprise IT.
Plot-by-plot hand-over sign-off: capture every trade signed off on every plot in person, with a certified PDF and a live progress board.
The Audit Pack can include per-worker RAMS sign-off (with check-in blocked until the current method statement is signed), right-to-work evidence with expiry, and a triggered evacuation roll-call PDF.
Weaknesses
No biometric turnstiles or physical access control, so it cannot secure a Tier-1 perimeter the way hardware-led platforms like MSite can.
No CIS payroll or GPS-geofenced clock-in, so payroll-accuracy-led buyers may prefer Chime or Donseed.
No plant or workforce scheduling, dispatch or telematics — the Plant register is evidence-led rather than a fleet operations suite.
Site Control is a newer plan, introduced in 2026, for principal contractors managing site access and compliance workflows.

UK construction teams that want a complete H&S platform priced by Managed Worker count, with unlimited sites and subcontractor companies.
Strengths
UK pricing is published by Managed Worker band, with quarterly billing on a 12-month agreement and an onboarding fee quoted for each implementation.
Contractors connect free without licence fees, lowering the cost of bringing subcontractors onto the platform.
Geofenced auto sign-in/out plus QR and kiosk options give flexible, hardware-light attendance capture.
Solid H&S core: inductions, incident management, pre-start inspections, toolbox talks and SWMS/JSA in one place.
Native iOS/Android app keeps field workers and visitors signing in from their phones.
Weaknesses
The UK platform lists RAMS, CPP and COSHH; no RFI or document-review acknowledgement workflow was listed on the reviewed pricing page.
No RFI workflow or version-specific document-review acknowledgement chain for project coordination and audit evidence.
The 12-month minimum and implementation-specific one-off onboarding fee should be included when comparing total cost.
No CIS payroll or workforce scheduling for builders wanting those adjacent workflows.
Quote-only; no public per-site or per-user price published — request a demo for a quote.
Best for
Construction firms that want geofenced sign-in with induction-on-sign-in, live attendance and evacuation muster
Team size
Mid-to-large contractors managing presence, inductions and evacuation across active sites
Sweet spot
A contractor that wants a worker-friendly geofenced sign-in app that delivers the induction at sign-in and runs evacuation roll-call
Strengths
Geofenced sign-in with induction-on-sign-in delivers the induction the first time a worker enters and records acknowledgement automatically.
Live people-on-site and evacuation muster/roll-call are included in the site attendance workflow.
Worker-facing mobile app supports site sign-in and credential workflows.
Construction-native design with pre-start briefings and attendance suits live-site presence management.
Weaknesses
Does not generate the UK CDM pack — no RAMS, CPP or COSHH document creation, so the documents the induction references are authored elsewhere.
No RFI workflow or version-specific document-review evidence chain.
The listed CSCS/credential-verification features should be checked against the site's card-checking requirements; card-heavy sites may need a separate verification workflow.
Quote-only pricing with no public figures makes budgeting harder for smaller buyers.
Quote-led with published plan tiers on the vendor site; per-site pricing for construction is configured via sales rather than a single public per-site figure.
Best for
Construction and facilities operators that want visitor, contractor and staff sign-in with kiosk and geofence options
Team size
Mid-to-large organisations standardising visitor/contractor sign-in across multiple sites and offices
Sweet spot
An operator that wants a polished visitor-management sign-in (iPad kiosk + Sine Pro app + geofence) across construction sites and offices
Strengths
Polished visitor-management sign-in — QR, iPad kiosk and Sine Pro app with geofence — that scales cleanly across many sites and offices.
Backed by Honeywell, with a dedicated construction sector page and integrations into access-control and building systems.
Strong live who's-on-site and evacuation reporting for safety roll-call.
Pre-registration and host invites keep the entrance moving for expected contractors and visitors.
Weaknesses
Office-visitor-management first: no construction induction-gating that hard-stops a non-inducted worker.
No CSCS/credential verification — it logs identity and agreements, not card validity.
Does not generate the UK CDM pack, and has no RFI or document-review evidence workflow.
Construction per-site pricing is configured via sales rather than a single transparent per-site figure.
From £415/site per year on the Sign In App tiers (Core £415, Enhanced £835, Pro £1,255)
Best for
Offices and construction-and-building sites that want a simple, low-cost visitor and employee sign-in with published per-location pricing
Team size
Small-to-mid sites and offices wanting easy desk/entrance sign-in across one or several locations
Sweet spot
A site or office that wants the simplest possible visitor/employee sign-in at a transparent per-location subscription, not a construction compliance engine
Strengths
Visitor and employee sign-in is offered with published per-location pricing.
QR and iPad kiosk plus an employee app keep the entrance moving with minimal training, used across 9,000+ workplaces.
Clear evacuation lists and live who's-in reporting for safety roll-call.
Low entry cost makes it a sensible starting point for small sites that only need sign-in.
Weaknesses
Office-visitor-management first: no construction induction-gating that hard-stops a non-inducted worker.
No CSCS/credential verification and no UK CDM document generation.
No RFI workflow, document-review evidence chain, or per-contractor-company data isolation.
Construction-and-building is one of many sectors it serves, so it is broad rather than CDM-native.
The SwipedOn brand is being merged into the Sign In App brand under Sign In Solutions — a strategic change buyers should factor in.
Published in GBP per location: Small £43/mo (~£454/yr), Medium £127/mo (~£1,335/yr), Large £228/mo (~£2,379/yr), tiered by yearly sign-in volume, with a custom POA tier above that.
Best for
Workplaces, offices, campuses and multi-occupier buildings that need touchless visitor and contractor sign-in plus reliable emergency muster — not construction-specific CDM compliance.
Team size
Single reception desk through to multi-site facilities teams managing many locations.
Sweet spot
Facilities and security teams who want mature presence tracking and evacuation roll-call across offices, with optional ID-scan and desk-booking add-ons.
Strengths
Presence management includes emergency evacuation and muster roll-call workflows across locations.
Touchless QR/mobile sign-in with no mandatory hardware; optional kiosk and OnScan ID-scanning add-ons are available.
Transparent published pricing from £43/location/month with clear sign-in-volume tiers — rare in this market.
Strong multi-location dashboards and visitor/contractor reporting, backed by MRI Software's enterprise resources.
Weaknesses
Generic workplace VMS, not construction-specific: no RAMS/CPP/COSHH generation, no CSCS card scheme, and no RFIs; configurable induction triggers can restrict access when requirements are incomplete or expired.
Per-location pricing scales by sign-in volume; compare the applicable tier for the site's headcount and the construction-compliance features required.
Right to Work, toolbox talks, site inspections and a proper incident log are not provided as construction-grade modules.
Short, straight answers - the same questions real builders ask.
What is the best construction site sign-in app in the UK?
It depends on the job. SwipedOn publishes per-location visitor sign-in, Sine lists kiosk and geofenced sign-in, and SignOnSite lists geofenced sign-in with evacuation workflows. Site Control combines induction-linked sign-in, CSCS review and UK CDM document generation. WhosOnLocation documents trigger-based access restrictions for induction requirements; compare which construction-specific workflows your sites need.
What is the difference between a sign-in app and visitor management?
Visitor-management tools like Sine, SwipedOn, WhosOnLocation and ProVisit log who is present, capture agreements and run evacuation lists. Construction sign-in tools vary in how they link induction and access. Site Control allows QR check-in only once its induction is complete, captures CSCS cards for manual review, and can trigger an evacuation with a roll-call PDF. WhosOnLocation documents trigger-based access restrictions for induction requirements.
Do construction sign-in apps verify CSCS cards?
Most generic visitor-management apps do not. Sine, SwipedOn, WhosOnLocation and ProVisit capture identity and agreements but not card validity. Construction-native tools such as SignOnSite and Collabor8Online sit closer to the work but still vary. The Site Book's Site Control captures the CSCS card at sign-in and records it against the worker for manual review and expiry tracking alongside the induction; automated Smart Check verification is not part of Site Control today.
Do sign-in apps generate RAMS or the UK CDM pack?
SiteConnect lists digital RAMS, CPP and COSHH alongside site sign-in and induction workflows. Site Control also generates UK CDM documents and combines them with induction-linked check-in, CSCS review and site records. The products in this roundup differ in their document and access workflows; compare current vendor pages for the functions your site needs.
How much do construction site sign-in apps cost?
A few vendors publish prices: SwipedOn lists per-location plans and Sitemate lists per-user tiers. Sine, ProVisit, SignOnSite and Collabor8Online are quote-led, and WhosOnLocation prices per location on request. The Site Book's Site Control is transparent at £675 per site per month plus a one-off setup, charging per active site with unlimited workers rather than per visitor or per seat, which stays predictable on busy sites.
How we built this comparison
Features and prices are taken from public vendor product, pricing and directory pages fetched on 2026-06-09, with ProVisit's contractor document-check and induction facts re-checked at provisit.co.uk on 2026-08-05; quote-only vendors are flagged where no public price exists.
Every pricing, feature, and fit claim in this comparison is checked against public vendor documentation and, where relevant, independent sources. The “source basis” footer on each product card lists the exact URLs and the date we fetched them. The internal freshness dashboard flags source evidence after 45 days; priority pricing is scheduled for monthly review and feature or ownership claims for quarterly review. Last reviewed on .
