Built for Builders
Real work, real hazards. Here are examples of what The Site Book creates RAMS for:
House extensions
Foundations, blockwork, steels, roofing — covers excavation near services, structural alterations, working at height, and coordination of multiple trades.
Loft conversions
Structural steelwork, dormer construction, staircase installation — covers working at height, manual handling of steels, and asbestos in roof spaces.
Garage conversions
Structural opening formation, DPC installation, insulation — covers demolition of existing structure, asbestos risk in pre-2000 garages, and ground-level drainage work.
Renovations and refurbishments
Strip-outs, structural alterations, services rerouting — covers asbestos in older buildings, dust control in occupied properties, and temporary propping.

Common Hazards We Cover
These are the real risks builders face on site every day. Your RAMS will address each one with specific control measures.
- Structural collapse during alterations — temporary propping, lintel installation, and load-bearing wall removal
- Working at height — scaffolding, roof work, and stairwell areas
- Excavation hazards — unstable ground, striking buried services, collapse of trench sides
- Asbestos in pre-2000 buildings — Artex, floor tiles, pipe lagging, soffit boards
- Dust exposure from cutting blocks, bricks, and concrete — silica dust risk
- Manual handling of heavy building materials — blocks, steels, lintels, bags of cement
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need RAMS as a builder?
- Yes. Under CDM 2015, all construction work requires risk assessments. As a builder, you are often managing the whole project — which may make you the principal contractor if there are two or more contractors on site. RAMS are essential for demonstrating that you have identified and planned for the risks on each job, and most commercial clients and principal designers will expect them.
- How long does it take to create RAMS for building work?
- Under 5 minutes with The Site Book. Describe the job — for example, 'single-storey rear extension, 1930s semi, with structural opening' — and the AI creates RAMS covering excavation, structural work, manual handling, and every other relevant hazard for your specific job.
- Does The Site Book cover CDM 2015 duties for builders?
- Yes. The Site Book is built around CDM 2015. It generates your Construction Phase Plan, RAMS, COSHH assessments, and site induction documents. It also tracks whether your project is notifiable, helps you manage subcontractor documentation, and provides a compliance dashboard so you know what is outstanding at any point.
