Product updates

What's new in The Site Book

New features and improvements, as they ship. We release most weeks — this page keeps the highlights in one place.

BusinessPlansTeams

Business now includes 10 team logins and 50 portal users

The Business plan's included capacity doubled: ten internal team logins and fifty active site portal users. Existing Business accounts were raised automatically — nothing to ask for.

  • The Team page counts active logins and pending invitations against the ten seats. Site portal users are counted separately, account-wide.
  • Where an account had already been given an allowance above the new numbers, it was kept — the increase never reduces a higher limit.

TeamsBusiness

Site supervisors now see only the sites you assign them

A site supervisor's login is scoped to the saved sites (or single projects) you pick on the Team page — not the whole account. Assign a site once and every job there, including future ones, is covered.

  • On the Team page, open Sites under a supervisor's row to assign saved sites or one-off projects.
  • A newly invited supervisor sees an empty project list until you assign something — the Team page warns you when a supervisor has nothing assigned.
  • Projects can be linked to a saved site when you create them, so “which jobs are at this hospital?” finally has an answer.

How team roles work

BusinessSign-off

Optional worker PINs for shared-link document sign-off

On Business and above you can optionally require each worker's 4-digit PIN before they sign a document from the shared crew link, giving the sign-off record an extra identity check without changing attendance.

  • Each worker chooses their own PIN. Five wrong attempts lock that name for 15 minutes; an owner, admin or assigned Site Supervisor can reset a forgotten PIN.
  • Successful document records show PIN verified. It is evidence that the PIN for the selected worker was entered, not biometric identity proof.
  • Set the company default on Team, then follow it or override it from the project's Workers tab.

How to: Add PIN evidence to shared-link document sign-off

ProjectsAudit Pack

Correct the Site Diary without losing the evidence trail

On Pro and above you can edit a saved Site Diary entry, and live entries now appear in the Audit Pack with their photo counts. Owners/admins can delete permanently; a Business Site Supervisor's delete is retained for owner/admin restore.

  • Edit the entry's weather, workers, work, issues, delays, visitors or photos, then save the corrected record.
  • A Site Supervisor can remove a mistaken entry from the live diary without being able to destroy it; owners and admins see the deleted record and can restore it with its photos.
  • Deleted entries stay out of the compliance Audit Pack but remain labelled in a Download my data export.

Projects

Save a job as a template and start the next one from it

On Pro and above you can save a finished project as a reusable template, then start new jobs from it instead of from a blank page.

  • Save as template is in the project actions menu; your saved templates live on the Templates tab of Saved Data.
  • A new job created from a template carries the scope, the method statements and — on Pro and above, where it is available — the COSHH selection you set up last time.
  • The site address, nearest hospital, assembly point and isolation points are never carried over — you give the new job its own, so its emergency plan points at the right place.

How to: Create a project

BusinessDocuments

Approved before workers are asked to sign, plus wind on the diary

A batch of changes Business customers asked for: nothing goes out for worker sign-off before it is approved, RAMS sign-off progress is visible where you already look, and the site diary can record wind speed.

  • On Business and above, where a document has a named approver, worker sign-off requests are held until that version is approved — and issued automatically the moment it is.
  • RAMS sign-off progress now shows on the Documents page, the project overview and the dashboard health view.
  • Site diary entries can record wind speed alongside the weather.
  • A weekly email reminder for site inspections that are due.

SupersededTeams

New team role: Site Supervisor

On Business and above you can now invite a site supervisor — a field-only login for the person running the site day to day, without showing them the rest of your account.

This note records the original release. The access model was replaced later. See the current behaviour →

  • On Business and above at launch, site supervisors could write the Site Diary, record Inspections and corrective actions, log Incidents and add Photos across the account. Assigned-site/project scoping replaced that access model on 6 August 2026.
  • Documents, worker contact details, Team, settings and billing stay out of sight. The current role also has a restricted Crew tab for worker names, PIN status and Reset PIN.
  • Invite one from the Team page. A site supervisor uses a normal team seat.

How team roles work

MobileUsability

Faster navigation on your phone

Working one-handed on site got easier. The app now uses slide-up menus on mobile instead of cramped tab strips and long button walls.

  • Project pages get a menu sheet listing every section, so you can jump straight to the one you need.
  • Document pages replace the mobile action wall with a single tidy document menu.
  • Document wizards now show which step you are on, with an all-steps sheet to jump between them.
  • The Site Access surface gets its own section jump menu.
Free tools

Embed our free RAMS generator on your own site

The free RAMS generator is now available as an embeddable widget, so trade associations, training providers, and merchants can offer it directly on their own pages.

Help CentreAI

New Help Centre — and an assistant that reads it

A full Help Centre is live, with step-by-step recipes for every part of the app using the real button names you see on screen.

  • Every surface is documented — from generating a RAMS to Site Access and team roles.
  • The in-app AI assistant answers from the same articles, so its guidance is grounded in the documentation rather than in general knowledge about construction software.

Open the Help Centre

Sign-offWorkers

One sign-off record for every document a worker has to sign

Toolbox talks, emergency plans and site inductions now run through a single, version-aware sign-off chain on every plan, so you can see who signed what — and which version they actually saw.

  • Regenerate a document and the previous sign-offs are marked superseded rather than deleted, keeping the original record intact, and a fresh request appears in the worker's portal for the new version.
  • Each record keeps how the document was read and where it was signed, so the evidence stands up later.
  • One shareable crew link per project replaces per-document sign links; workers pick themselves from your project roster. Existing links redirect into the new flow.
  • RAMS sign-off can be switched on per project from the Site Access page on Business and above.

WorkersPortal

Workers get an ordered to-do list on their phone

Opening a portal link now shows a worker exactly what to do, in order, instead of a pile of documents: each document the project requires, one at a time.

  • Documents page through before the sign button unlocks, so nobody signs something they have not opened.
  • COSHH assessments appear in their own read-only section on every plan — no signature needed, just the safety information to hand.
  • On Business and above, with Site Access switched on for the project, the list continues into acknowledging the site rules and checking in.

COSHHDocuments

Deeper COSHH: read the SDS, assess it per site

On Pro and above, upload a manufacturer's safety data sheet and the hazard statements, PPE, first aid, storage and exposure detail are pulled into your COSHH library, with a confidence badge on each field so you know what to check.

  • Each substance can carry a site-specific assessment per project — quantity and use, location, who is exposed, your controls, and the residual risk.
  • Pro and above can also generate COSHH assessments as their own standalone document.
  • The built-in library covers UK construction substance classes, and grows as further entries clear our review process.

Audit PackDocuments

A fuller Audit-Ready Pack

The Audit-Ready Pack still downloads as one merged PDF, and now carries the evidence behind the documents as well as the documents themselves. Pro and above.

  • Added sections for document version history, induction acknowledgements, attendance, toolbox-talk acknowledgements and RAMS sign-offs.
  • Evacuation drills and muster counts, plus right-to-work and CSCS card record-keeping status.

How to: Export your audit trail with the Audit-Ready Pack

InductionsWorkers

Site inductions in eight more languages

Workers can read the site safety information in Polish, Romanian, Lithuanian, Bulgarian, Russian, Ukrainian, Portuguese or Spanish before they sign. On Business and above.

  • Site rules, welfare, fire strategy, first aid, emergency procedures and assembly point are translated and cached per project, refreshing whenever you change the English.
  • You can review and overwrite any translation yourself from the project's Access area. The English induction document remains the record.

Site ControlIntegrations

SSO, a read-only API and webhooks for Site Control

Site Control accounts can now connect single sign-on, pull their data programmatically, and get notified when things happen. Site Control only.

  • SAML single sign-on through Okta, Microsoft Entra or any SAML 2.0 provider, with the option to require it across your email domain.
  • Scoped, read-only API keys covering projects, documents, workers, certifications and attendance.
  • Signed outbound webhooks for five events: document generated, document signed, certificate expiring, worker checked in, and induction acknowledged.

Early accessSite ControlIntegrations

Procore integration

A Procore Marketplace integration that links a Procore company to your account and puts The Site Book in an embedded tab. Built and in early access for Site Control — talk to us if you run projects in Procore and want to try it.

ProjectsSite safety

Site Safety Setup — the details your documents depend on

Your CPP, RAMS, site induction and emergency plan now wait for eleven site-specific details — things like site rules, welfare, fire strategy, assembly point and nearest hospital — instead of generating around the gaps.

  • A three-step Site Safety Setup collects them in one place, and AI Suggest can draft every empty field at once from your project scope for you to check.
  • Each document page shows what is still missing and what it unlocks.
  • Projects created before this launched keep working as before, with a reminder you can dismiss.

How to: Site Safety Setup: fill the 11 details that unlock your documents

Site ControlBilling

Site Control: pay by card or invoice

Site Control accounts can now be billed by invoice as well as card, with access opening as soon as the first invoice is paid.

Blog

Follow the blog by RSS

The compliance blog now publishes an RSS feed, so you can follow new CDM and site-safety articles from your feed reader.

BusinessDocuments

Version history, subcontractor documents and inspections

Business and above gained the record-keeping larger teams asked for: every document version is kept with a history of what happened to it, subcontractor documents are collected against the project, and site inspections can be logged with corrective actions to chase.

Platform

Moved onto our own infrastructure

The whole platform moved to DigitalOcean — app, database, file storage and document generation. Nothing changed on screen; it gives us more headroom and more control over performance and reliability.

Milestone

The Site Book went live

After a month of building, the product opened to real accounts on its own domain, with sign-in, subscriptions and file storage running in production.

MilestoneDocuments

The first version

The first working version of The Site Book: describe a job in your own words — typed or spoken — and get a first-draft RAMS or Construction Phase Plan structured around CDM 2015, ready for you to review and adjust.

  • A library of over fifty construction hazards with their control measures, to pick from rather than write from scratch.
  • Documents render as PDFs and can be shared by secure link.
  • Workers sign from their phone, and each signature is recorded against the document.
  • Built mobile-first, because the people using it are rarely at a desk.
  • Your company details and logo appear on everything generated.

How to: Generate RAMS
