Procore and The Site Book are not really competing. Procore is genuinely excellent software - a full enterprise construction management suite handling financials, contracts, scheduling, bid management, and BIM coordination across multi-site operations worth fifty million pounds or more. The Site Book does one thing really well: it helps UK small builders generate a CDM-compliant RAMS, CPP, COSHH assessment, and site induction in minutes rather than months, for a fraction of the cost. If you are Googling 'Procore alternative' because it is too expensive or complex for the work you actually do, you are looking at a focused compliance tool, not a diminished PM platform.

Short, straight answers - the same questions real builders ask.
Yes. Procore is an industry-leading project management platform built for fifty-million-pound-plus turnover contractors with dedicated implementation teams. Pricing typically runs into the tens of thousands of pounds per year and onboarding takes months. It is far too complex and expensive for sole traders or one-to-ten-person firms that only need CDM 2015 compliance documents and worker sign-off, not a full enterprise PM stack.
No. Procore is a general project management platform with document-management modules, not a UK-specific CDM document generator. Creating RAMS, CPPs, or COSHH assessments inside Procore requires manual work or expensive customisation. The Site Book generates all of these from a plain-English brief against CDM 2015 requirements, with no template editing and no implementation team needed before you can use it.
Enterprise contractors sometimes do - Procore for project management and financials, a separate tool for compliance documents. The Site Book does not currently integrate directly with Procore, but PDF exports work fine for attaching compliance documents to Procore project folders. That keeps your audit-ready CDM pack alongside the rest of the project file without forcing a single platform to do everything badly.
The Site Book is built specifically for sole traders and small to mid UK builders, with a starter plan from thirty pounds a month and self-serve signup. Procore targets large enterprise contractors and is priced for them. If your team is under fifty people and your problem is producing CDM documents quickly rather than running a full project portfolio, The Site Book is the right tool for the job.
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.
