Why this matters

Velappity is not a bad tool; it solves a broader field-service problem. The question is whether you want to configure a platform around your safety processes, or generate construction documents from a project brief. Small builders usually need the second thing first.

Why switch to The Site Book

  • Generate RAMS, CPPs, COSHH assessments, and inductions from the project record instead of designing custom forms first.
  • Flat pricing from GBP30 per month is simpler for small teams than per-user Gold-tier access.
  • PCPP import, document checking, worker sign-off, permits, site diary, and subcontractor tracking are construction-specific rather than generic workflow add-ons.

Team size

Sweet spot
A principal contractor on a £50k–£5m domestic or commercial project who needs ready-to-sign compliance docs and worker sign-off from a phone.

Strengths

  • Only UK construction compliance tool that ships RAMS + CPP + COSHH + inductions + worker sign-off in one flat-rate subscription.
  • AI-generated documents are site-specific from a natural-language brief, not a template library you hand-fill -cuts writing a RAMS from 2 hours to under 5 minutes.
  • Worker sign-off, PCPP import, cert tracking, and document checking are included at the entry tier, not locked behind an enterprise plan.
  • Transparent flat-rate pricing starting at £30/mo -no per-seat surprise as the team grows.

Weaknesses

  • New product (launched 2025) -smaller customer base and shorter track record than established tools like HandsHQ.
  • No Procore / Autodesk Construction Cloud integrations yet -compliance docs live inside The Site Book and export as PDFs rather than syncing into a wider PM stack.
  • UK-focused content (CDM 2015, HSE guidance) -international contractors on non-UK projects would need to adapt the output.

Team size

Sweet spot
A multi-site contractor or compliance service provider with time to build custom forms and a budget for per-user Gold-tier access.

Strengths

  • Flexible form builder can support RAMS, inspections, COSHH, assets, reporting, and client portals in one configurable platform.
  • Mobile app and offline sync fit field teams that need to complete risk forms on site and report back later.
  • Public pricing and a free tier make the entry path clearer than demo-only enterprise EHS tools.

Weaknesses

  • RAMS and COSHH sit on the Gold plan, which is GBP55 per user per month on monthly billing - expensive for small builders.
  • Requires custom form setup before it feels tailored; The Site Book generates construction documents from the project brief immediately.
  • No dedicated CPP, PCPP import, permits, site diary, or subcontractor tracking for a full CDM 2015 project pack.

Frequently asked questions

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

Who should choose The Site Book instead of Velappity?

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.

When is Velappity the better choice?

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.

How does pricing compare?

The Site Book starts from GBP30 per month 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.

Does Velappity include CPPs and PCPP import?

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.
