Honest comparison
Enterprise compliance at £295 per month versus everything a small builder needs for £39. Here is why the price gap exists.
Evalu-8 is a comprehensive EHS (Environment, Health & Safety) platform designed for large construction firms. It handles RAMS as part of a much wider suite that includes incident reporting, multi-site management, advanced analytics, audit trails, and integration with other enterprise tools.
If you are running a firm with 50 or 100 people across multiple sites and you need enterprise-grade reporting and compliance management, Evalu-8 is a serious option. The £295 per month price tag reflects the depth and breadth of the platform.
But if you are a sole trader fitting a kitchen, or a small firm doing extensions and loft conversions, you are paying 12 times more for features you will never use. Evalu-8 is built for enterprise teams with 50+ workers. If you are a sole trader or small builder, it is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut.
The Site Book was built for exactly this end of the market — professional compliance documents at a price that makes sense for small businesses.
Enterprise platform versus purpose-built small builder tool.
Evalu-8 is the right choice for larger organisations with complex compliance needs:
The Site Book is designed for the builders who do not need — and should not pay for — enterprise features:
Evalu-8 costs 12 times more than The Site Book because it is a different category of product. It is enterprise EHS software with incident management, environmental compliance, multi-site dashboards, and team workflows that large contractors genuinely need.
The Site Book costs £39 per month because it focuses on what small builders actually use: creating professional RAMS, CPP, site inductions, and COSHH assessments quickly and easily. No incident management dashboards. No multi-site analytics. Just the documents you need to stay compliant and win work.
Neither price is wrong — they are just built for completely different businesses.
Evalu-8 costs around £295 per month for its enterprise compliance platform. The Site Book costs £39 per month for unlimited projects and documents. That is roughly 12 times the price. Evalu-8 includes enterprise features like advanced reporting, multi-site management, and integrations that large contractors need — but most small builders will never use those features.
For most sole traders and small firms, yes. Evalu-8 is designed for large contractors with dedicated health and safety teams, multiple sites, and complex reporting requirements. If you have a team of 1 to 10 and just need professional RAMS, CPP, and inductions for your jobs, you are paying for enterprise features you will not use. The Site Book is built specifically for the smaller end of construction.
Both tools produce documents that follow CDM 2015 requirements and are accepted by principal contractors and the HSE. The difference is in the surrounding platform — Evalu-8 offers enterprise workflow management, multi-site dashboards, and team collaboration features designed for large organisations. The Site Book focuses on making it fast and simple for small builders to create professional, site-specific documents without the enterprise overhead.
Yes. The Site Book has a free tier that lets you create your first project and all its documents — including RAMS, CPP, and site inductions — without entering a credit card. You can see exactly what the platform produces before deciding whether to upgrade.
