Short, straight answers - the same questions real builders ask.
Choose The Site Book if you are a UK builder who needs RAMS, CPPs, COSHH assessments, inductions, and worker sign-off without building custom forms first. It is designed around CDM 2015 projects, so you brief the job once and generate the paperwork. Velappity is stronger when a team wants a flexible form platform across inspections, assets, client portals, and reporting.
Velappity makes sense for multi-site operations or compliance service providers that want configurable inspection forms, asset records, client portals, and reporting in the same system. If your business already has a health and safety manager who can design forms and maintain templates, that flexibility is useful. For small builders who simply need construction documents today, the setup step can slow the job down.
The Site Book starts from GBP39 per month or GBP360 per year for the full construction compliance workflow. Velappity publishes per-user pricing, with RAMS, COSHH, toolbox talks, incident reports, and training documents listed on the Gold plan at GBP55 per user per month on monthly billing. That can be fine for a structured operations team, but expensive for a two-person builder.
Velappity publicly describes RAMS, COSHH, inspections, reporting, assets, incident reports, toolbox talks, and training documents, but not a dedicated Construction Phase Plan generator or PCPP import. The Site Book includes CPP generation and a PCPP import workflow, so principal contractors can turn existing pre-construction information into the working project record and documents without rebuilding the pack manually.
