Pick the option that matches how your team actually works.

UK contractor comparing workforce-based and per-site pricing

SiteConnect publishes GBP tiers by Managed Worker count, with subcontractor companies and their teams included. Site Control charges by active site with unlimited workers. Compare the number of Managed Workers, active sites and included workflows.

Busy UK site with many contractors and CDM paperwork

Site Control generates UK CDM documents, adds RFIs and document-review evidence, and charges per site with unlimited workers. SiteConnect lists UK RAMS, CPP and COSHH in its complete platform and prices by Managed Worker count.

Larger / multi-site contractor

Both move toward bespoke pricing at scale, but Site Control's per-site economics and CDM generation suit UK multi-site compliance; Site Control lacks GPS geofence, biometrics, CIS payroll and scheduling if those are must-haves.

The Site Book Site Control

REDCLAN VENTURES LTD (trading as The Site Book)

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.

Frequently asked questions

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

How much does SiteConnect cost compared with Site Control?

SiteConnect UK lists quarterly prices of £625 for 1–9 Managed Workers, £825 for 10–19, £1,250 for 20–39 and £1,625 for 40–69; 70+ is on application. It requires a 12-month term, with 5% off for annual prepayment. External subcontractor companies and their teams are included. Site Control costs £675 per active site monthly plus setup, with unlimited workers. Compare Managed Worker and active-site counts.

Which UK CDM and site workflows does SiteConnect include?

SiteConnect’s UK pages list RAMS, CPP, COSHH, digital inductions, attendance and digital permit forms; the reviewed pages do not establish a full permit issue-and-approval workflow. Site Control documents RAMS, CPP and COSHH generation plus per-site access and RFI workflows. Compare who can author, approve and review these records, along with the access controls included in each product.

Which has better site sign-in and attendance?

SiteConnect offers geofenced sign-in, QR codes and a kiosk; its UK pricing page lists sign-in and attendance in every plan, and its education page says contractors cannot sign in until induction is complete. Site Control also uses entrance QR, contractor self-join and live people-on-site, with CDM-aligned audit exports. Compare the site workflows required.

Do both isolate data between contractor companies?

Site Control enforces multi-contractor-company data isolation, verified by automated tests, so each company sees only its own records. SiteConnect includes unlimited subcontractor companies and their teams. Before choosing either product, ask how contractor-company data is segregated, which records each subcontractor can access, and how those settings are managed across active projects.

How does SiteConnect price employee and contractor access?

SiteConnect counts Managed Workers: direct employees, labour-only workers and some sole traders; external subcontractor companies and their teams are included without separate licences. Site Control charges per active site at £675/month plus setup. Compare the Managed Worker count, active sites, onboarding cost and required CDM/RFI workflows, using the expected team size for each project.

What does SiteConnect do that Site Control does not?

SiteConnect offers GPS geofenced sign-in, a complete platform on each plan and subcontractor access without separate licences. Site Control honestly lacks GPS geofencing, biometric or turnstile access, CIS payroll and workforce scheduling. If geofenced clock-in is a requirement, compare SiteConnect’s documented geofencing with Site Control’s QR-based entry workflow.

How we built this comparison

SiteConnect UK pricing, construction, education and feature pages were reviewed 2026-09-27; current UK prices and Managed Worker definitions supersede the earlier NZ/AU price snapshot. Site Control figures come from The Site Book's published per-site pricing.
