The Site Book vs SafetyCulture
SafetyCulture (iAuditor) is a powerful tool — if you have an EHS team, a dedicated safety manager, and weeks to configure it. Most UK builders don't. The Site Book gives you compliant RAMS, CPPs, and COSHH assessments in minutes, not months.
Why SafetyCulture isn't built for small UK builders
- ⚠️It's an audit platform, not a document builder. SafetyCulture excels at checklists and inspections. Creating a CDM-compliant RAMS requires custom setup and expertise.
- ⚠️Per-seat pricing adds up fast. At £19+/seat, a team of 5 costs £95+/mo before you've done anything.
- ⚠️It's not UK construction-specific. You'll spend days building custom templates for things The Site Book handles out of the box.
- ⚠️Overkill for most small contractors. If you don't have a safety manager, you won't get value from most of the platform.
Feature comparison
| Feature | The Site Book | SafetyCulture |
|---|---|---|
| Target audience | UK sole traders and small contractors | Large enterprises, operations & EHS teams |
| RAMS generation | AI-powered, under 10 minutes | Checklist/audit focused — not RAMS-specific |
| CDM 2015 compliance | Built in — Construction Phase Plan, PCPP, F10 | Generic — requires manual customisation |
| COSHH assessments | Yes, substance database built in | Custom form builder required |
| UK construction focus | 100% — built for UK regs | Global product — UK regs require manual setup |
| Pricing | Free tier, from £30/mo | From £19/seat/mo (minimum seats apply) |
| Setup time | Sign up and create your first RAMS in minutes | Days of configuration, training, rollout |
| Mobile | Fully mobile — complete docs on site | Yes, but complex interface on small screens |
| Ideal team size | 1–10 people | 50+ people |
SafetyCulture is right if…
- ✗ You have 50+ workers and a dedicated EHS team
- ✗ You need complex audit workflows across multiple sites
- ✗ You have weeks to configure custom templates
- ✗ Budget is not a concern
The Site Book is right if…
- ✅ You need RAMS and CPPs done quickly and correctly
- ✅ You're a sole trader or team of under 10
- ✅ You want UK CDM 2015 compliance built in, not bolted on
- ✅ You want to start immediately, not after weeks of setup
Built for builders, not boardrooms
The Site Book does exactly what UK small contractors need — RAMS, COSHH, CPP, site inductions — without enterprise complexity or enterprise pricing.
