Reading this table: a tick means supported, a dash means partly supported, and a cross means we checked and it is not supported. An em dash (—) means we have not verified that capability for that product either way — treat it as unknown, not as a missing feature, and check with the vendor.

Why this matters

Most compare pages rank on features. This one ranks on the bill. If you already know you want RAMS plus CPP plus toolbox talks as a single bundle, the right question is what the monthly-equivalent cost actually looks like - not which tool has the longest feature list. HandsHQ publishes RAMS prices, but its CPP availability and toolbox-talk fit vary by plan, so the bundle cannot be reduced to one comparable headline figure. The entries below list the available three-item bundle or module prices for comparison.

The bottom line

Pick the option that matches how your team actually works.

Choose The Site Book if…

If you want to pay monthly and keep the option to cancel, The Site Book Pro is £39/month and includes RAMS, CPP, COSHH, site inductions and toolbox talks. The annual option is £30/month when billed annually (£360/year). Compare the included modules and payment terms.

Recommended for: Monthly flexibility - cancel-any-time, no annual commitment

Choose Haspod if…

Haspod Pro Plan is listed at £997 a year, about £83 a month equivalent, with annual upfront billing. It combines Documents, Training, and Talks. Its templates are browsed and customised, while The Site Book generates site-specific drafts; compare the workflow and annual payment against your document needs.

Recommended for: Annual upfront - happy to pay a year in advance for a lower effective rate

Why switch to The Site Book

  • The Site Book Pro includes RAMS, CPP and toolbox talks at £39/month or £30/month when billed annually (£360/year); Business is £199/month.
  • Monthly billing with no annual lock-in - pay only while you need the tool instead of pre-paying £997 like Haspod Pro.
  • All three bundle items in one login - no stitching two or three subscriptions together from different vendors.
  • Free first project to test the wider CDM output before buying a plan or paying a year upfront.
  • Predictable flat rate - unlike per-seat enterprise contracts where the bundle price balloons as you add casual labour.

The Site Book

REDCLAN VENTURES LTD (trading as The Site Book)

Starter £0; Pro £39/mo or £360/yr; Business £199/mo

Best for
UK builders and principal contractors - from sole traders to builder-run firms of around 50 staff - who need CDM documents plus lightweight site H&S operations: RAMS, CPP, COSHH, inductions, toolbox talks, site attendance, site files, document review evidence, subcontractor evidence and worker/visitor portal access.
Team size
1 internal user on Pro; 10 management logins and 50 active site portal users on Business. Any invited seat can be a field-only Site Supervisor limited to assigned sites/projects. Worker document signing has no per-signature charge; Business can optionally require a 4-digit PIN for shared-link sign-off, and project workers count as active portal users while assigned
Sweet spot
A builder-run principal contractor on a domestic or commercial project who needs ready-to-sign CDM documents, worker sign-off, a live people-on-site view, practical site files, subcontractor evidence records and lightweight inspections/actions - without a dedicated H&S department to run them.

Strengths

  • UK construction compliance tool that ships RAMS + CPP + COSHH + inductions (readable and acknowledgeable in 9 worker languages on Business, with the language audit-recorded) + worker sign-off, including optional 4-digit shared-link PIN evidence on Business, plus site attendance, portal users, site files, document reviews, subcontractor evidence and inspections/actions.
  • Generate a site-specific RAMS first draft from a natural-language brief, ready for competent-person review - not a template library you hand-fill.
  • Controlled document workflow without an enterprise contract: version history and a recorded issue confirmation before a document is shared with a client or downloaded in the app on every plan, re-sign on revision with superseded signatures preserved plus PCPP import, cert tracking and document checking from the £39/month Pro plan - and on Business, optional named-approver routing (a designated approver accepts or rejects each version, with recorded reasons, before it can be issued) plus client approve/reject/request-changes via share links.
  • Transparent pricing: Starter £0, Pro £39/month or £360/year, Business £199/month with 10 management logins and 50 active site portal users. Worker document signing has no per-signature charge; project workers count as active portal users while assigned.
  • Build RAMS for any trade - add your own work types and method statements alongside the built-in library, reusable across projects, including a ready-made Commercial Solar PV group. Save a finished job as a reusable project template, or clone it, so the next job of the same shape starts from your own setup.
  • COSHH goes deep: a standalone COSHH assessment document, upload-a-Safety-Data-Sheet extraction, a site-specific substance register and an expert-reviewed library - plus per-worker RAMS sign-off and a one-click Audit Pack covering documents, sign-offs, worker evidence, attendance, incidents, COSHH, permits and up to the latest 500 live Site Diary entries.

Weaknesses

  • The Site Book launched in 2026.
  • Procore integration is in final testing rather than publicly launched -until it ships, compliance docs export as PDFs rather than syncing into Procore. A public REST API and signed webhooks are live on the Site Control tier; Autodesk Construction Cloud is not integrated.
  • Site files are a practical portal for drawings, plans and procedures, not formal drawing revision control.
  • UK-focused content (CDM 2015, HSE guidance) -international contractors on non-UK projects would need to adapt the output.

  • Each membership plan includes 10 users before extra-user pricing applies.

Weaknesses

  • Documents, Training, and Talks are separate subscriptions unless you step up to the £997/yr Pro Plan; compare the combined price if you need the full CDM suite and toolbox content.
  • Extra users add annual cost: Documents and Training list £30+VAT/year each, Talks lists £15+VAT/year, and Pro lists £45+VAT/year.

Alternatives to HandsHQ for Small Builders (UK 2026)

This guide is primarily for smaller builders comparing HandsHQ alternatives. HandsHQ serves individuals as well as larger teams, so the decision is about workflow rather than company size alone. The Site Book is the closest wider-scope alternative when you need RAMS, CPP, COSHH, inductions and worker sign-off together; Haspod suits template-library buyers, RAMS Pro suits RAMS-led teams, and CDM Wizard is a free fallback. Contractors with approximately 10 to 50 staff should also review The Site Book Business and the full HandsHQ comparison.

Frequently asked questions

Short, straight answers - the same questions real builders ask.

How much should I expect to pay for a RAMS + CPP + toolbox-talks bundle in the UK?

The Site Book lists a RAMS, CPP and toolbox-talks bundle at £360 a year or £39 monthly. Haspod Pro lists Documents, Training and Talks at about £997 a year, payable upfront. Evalu-8 lists a GBP295/month RAMS module on top of core EHS. Check each quotation and module list to confirm whether it includes all three items.

Can I buy CPP software separately from RAMS?

Yes. CDM Wizard and other CPP generators offer a CPP separately, and template packs offer standalone RAMS. If you buy RAMS, a CPP and toolbox talks from separate providers, add the listed prices to compare with a bundle. Check the included features and billing periods because products may package different items. Confirm that each separate tool supports the project records and collaboration your team needs.

What's included in a full CDM bundle?

A full CDM 2015 bundle should ship RAMS and method statements, a construction phase plan, COSHH assessments, site induction records, and toolbox talks - plus the audit trail that proves workers signed them. The Site Book bundles all of those at £39/month or £30/month when billed annually (£360/year). Haspod Pro bundles Documents, Training, and Talks. Evalu-8 covers the same ground inside a wider EHS platform, with a published GBP295/month RAMS module on top of core EHS.

Is annual or monthly billing cheaper for compliance software?

Haspod Pro is listed with annual upfront billing at £997 and has no monthly option. The Site Book Pro is £39/month or £30/month when billed annually (£360/year). Compare the full upfront commitment with the option to pay monthly; the total depends on how long you keep a monthly subscription. Include setup charges and plan limits when comparing the total cost for your team.

Is The Site Book setup service part of the bundle price?

No. The setup service is optional and separate from software pricing. It is a £249 one-off, not a subscription, and covers The Site Book paperwork for one job so the first pack is prepared for review. Ongoing access stays on the software plan: Starter £0, Pro £39/month or £360/year, or Business £199/month.

  • Controlled document workflow without an enterprise contract: version history and a recorded issue confirmation before a document is shared with a client or downloaded in the app on every plan, re-sign on revision with superseded signatures preserved plus PCPP import, cert tracking and document checking from the £39/month Pro plan - and on Business, optional named-approver routing (a designated approver accepts or rejects each version, with recorded reasons, before it can be issued) plus client approve/reject/request-changes via share links.
  • Transparent pricing: Starter £0, Pro £39/month or £360/year, Business £199/month with 10 management logins and 50 active site portal users. Worker document signing has no per-signature charge; project workers count as active portal users while assigned.
  • Build RAMS for any trade - add your own work types and method statements alongside the built-in library, reusable across projects, including a ready-made Commercial Solar PV group. Save a finished job as a reusable project template, or clone it, so the next job of the same shape starts from your own setup.
  • COSHH goes deep: a standalone COSHH assessment document, upload-a-Safety-Data-Sheet extraction, a site-specific substance register and an expert-reviewed library - plus per-worker RAMS sign-off and a one-click Audit Pack covering documents, sign-offs, worker evidence, attendance, incidents, COSHH, permits and up to the latest 500 live Site Diary entries.
