Procore and The Site Book are not really competing. Procore is genuinely excellent software - a broad construction management suite handling drawings, RFIs, submittals, documents, financials, scheduling, bid management, and collaboration across complex project teams. The Site Book does a narrower job for UK small builders: generate CDM documents, collect sign-off, track site attendance, share site files and keep practical evidence/action records without a full enterprise PM rollout.

Short, straight answers - the same questions real builders ask.
Often, yes. Procore is an industry-leading construction management platform with drawings, RFIs, submittals, documents, financial controls, collaboration, and implementation services. That depth is valuable for larger contractors, but it is usually too heavy for a sole trader or small firm that mainly needs RAMS, CPPs, COSHH, inductions, site attendance, files and evidence workflows.
No. Procore is a broad construction project-management platform with document and drawing-management modules, not a UK-specific CDM document generator. Creating RAMS, CPPs, or COSHH assessments inside Procore requires separate process design or another tool. The Site Book generates these from a plain-English brief against CDM 2015 requirements, then keeps sign-off and site H&S records with the job.
Larger contractors sometimes do - Procore for project management, drawings, RFIs, submittals, financials, and document control, plus a focused tool for CDM documents and H&S records. The Site Book does not currently integrate directly with Procore, but PDF exports and shared files can still be attached to project folders. That keeps the CDM pack available without forcing one product to do everything.
The Site Book is built for sole traders and small to mid UK builders, with Starter GBP0, Pro at GBP39/month or GBP360/year, and Business at GBP199/month for 5 internal logins plus 25 active site portal users and evidence workflows. Procore uses custom annual pricing based on products and annual construction volume. If the problem is CDM documents and site H&S records, The Site Book is simpler.
Yes. The Site Book has a free tier that lets you create your first project and generate real documents - your CPP, RAMS, and site induction - without entering a credit card. Procore requires a sales process and a paid contract before you can test it on real work. The Site Book lets you see the actual output on day one, which suits anyone evaluating tools quickly.
