Honest comparison
Dedicated RFI software in the UK is led by Procore for enterprise and Fieldwire for field-first teams, with Sitemate's Dashpivot offering RFI forms; The Site Book's Site Control does not try to out-RFI them — it bundles RFIs into the same per-site tool that already runs contractor access, CSCS gating and UK CDM generation.
Dedicated construction RFI software in the UK is led by Procore (enterprise) and Fieldwire by Hilti (field-first, small-to-mid contractors), with Sitemate's Dashpivot offering RFI forms and workflows. These are strong, purpose-built RFI engines. The Site Book's Site Control does not out-RFI them; it bundles RFIs into the same per-site tool that runs contractor access, CSCS gating and UK CDM generation, so a principal contractor avoids a separate PM platform.

Pricing, fit, and feature coverage side by side.
| Feature | The Site Book Site Control | Procore | Fieldwire by Hilti | Sitemate (Dashpivot) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pricing | From £675/site per month plus £5,000 one-off setup; volume tiers and annual prepay | Custom annual quote based on turnover and products | Published per-user plans — a free tier plus paid Pro, Business and Business Plus bands per user per month — transparent for a field-first PM tool. | Published per-user subscription tiers on the vendor site (free, premium and enterprise bands) — transparent for a forms-led platform. |
| Team size | Per active site with unlimited workers (~75+ typical); multiple contractor companies per site | 50+ | Small-to-mid contractors and subcontractor crews, scaling up to larger field teams on the paid per-user tiers | Small-to-large construction teams standardising forms, sign-in and records across projects |
| 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. | Large contractors and developers who need a full project management platform for coordinating multi-million-pound builds. | Field teams, small-to-mid contractors and subcontractors that want strong, purpose-built RFIs, tasks and plans on mobile without a heavy enterprise PM rollout | Construction teams that want a flexible forms platform (Dashpivot) covering site sign-in, RFIs and customisable site records |
| Not ideal for | No biometric turnstiles or physical access control, so it cannot secure a Tier-1 perimeter the way MSite/Biosite can. | Custom annual pricing depends on turnover and products, so small builders cannot compare a simple monthly CDM-document cost up front. | Generates none of the UK CDM pack — no RAMS, CPP or COSHH; Fieldwire assumes the compliance documents are authored elsewhere. | Forms-led, not CDM-native: it does not generate the UK RAMS/CPP/COSHH pack as finished compliant documents. |
| RAMS / CPP / COSHH generation | Generates UK RAMS, CPP, COSHH and method statements from the project brief — unique in this category. | — | ||

| RFIs | Create, attach, comment, answer and close — unique in this category. | — | Purpose-built RFIs are a core Fieldwire strength — create, assign, track and resolve RFIs tied to drawings and tasks, with submittals alongside. | RFI templates and automated RFI workflows are a genuine strength of the Dashpivot forms platform. |
| Document-review evidence | Version-specific read/acknowledge audit chain. | — | Submittals, RFIs and markups carry a tracked review-and-response trail tied to drawing versions. | Form submissions and approvals are tracked; a version-specific document-review evidence chain is not the same as Site Control's. |

Pick the option that matches how your team actually works.
Procore (enterprise) and Fieldwire (field-first, small-to-mid contractors) are the strongest dedicated RFI engines here — if a deep, standalone RFI workflow is the priority, pick one of them, not Site Control.
Recommended for: Buyer who needs a dedicated, purpose-built RFI engine above all else
Procore's RFI module sits inside an industry-leading project-management platform with financial controls and document management, the right pick when you are buying enterprise PM anyway.
Recommended for: Enterprise contractor wanting RFIs inside a full PM and financials suite
Fieldwire by Hilti gives genuine purpose-built RFIs and submittals on an offline-capable mobile app at a published per-user price, ideal for small-to-mid contractors and subs.
Recommended for: Field-first contractor wanting strong mobile RFIs without a heavy rollout
Site Control bundles RFIs into the same per-site tool that runs access, CSCS gating, attendance and UK CDM generation, so a PC gets RFIs without standing up Procore-scale PM just for them.
Recommended for: Principal contractor who wants RFIs without a separate PM platform
Sitemate's Dashpivot offers configurable RFI templates and automated workflows on a published per-user price, a fit for teams standardising forms rather than buying a fixed RFI engine.
Recommended for: Team wanting flexible RFI forms alongside other site records

Short, straight answers - the same questions real builders ask.
For a dedicated RFI engine, Procore leads at the enterprise end and Fieldwire by Hilti leads for field-first small-to-mid contractors, with Sitemate's Dashpivot offering flexible RFI forms. The Site Book's Site Control does not out-RFI those purpose-built tools; instead it bundles RFIs into the same per-site tool that runs contractor access, CSCS gating and UK CDM generation, so a principal contractor avoids buying a separate platform.
Honestly, no, and it does not claim to. Procore and Fieldwire are strong, purpose-built RFI engines, and if a deep standalone RFI workflow is your priority you should pick one of them. Site Control's angle is bundling: it gives a principal contractor RFIs inside the same per-site tool that already runs access, CSCS gating, attendance and CDM document generation, so RFIs come without a second PM platform.
Dedicated tools like Procore and Fieldwire are purpose-built RFI engines, deep on workflow but assuming you also run their wider PM suite. Bundled RFIs, as in The Site Book's Site Control, are one feature inside a per-site tool that also handles access, CSCS gating and UK CDM generation. The trade-off is depth versus consolidation: a dedicated engine for RFI specialists, a bundle for a PC who wants fewer tools.
It varies by model. Fieldwire publishes per-user plans with a free tier and paid bands, and Sitemate publishes per-user Dashpivot tiers. Procore is quote-led, with annual fees based on turnover and products. The Site Book's Site Control is transparent at £675 per site per month plus a one-off setup, with unlimited workers, bundling RFIs with access, CSCS gating and UK CDM generation rather than charging per user.
Dedicated RFI tools do not. Procore, Fieldwire and Sitemate manage RFIs, drawings and forms, but none generate the UK CDM pack of RAMS, CPP and COSHH. The Site Book's Site Control is the exception here: it bundles RFIs with contractor access, CSCS gating, attendance and full UK CDM document generation, so the RFIs and the compliance documents that surround them live in the same per-site tool instead of two.
