NEWRecognition module — recognise hard work and the people going above and beyond
BuildOptixConstruction software

Specification

BuildOptix, in full

BuildOptix is built specifically for UK construction site compliance — sites, subcontractors, RAMS, incidents and reporting — not as a module inside a wider project-management or estimating platform.

Everything below is drawn from what's actually published on this site — BuildOptix's Terms of Service, Privacy Policy and product pages — rather than aspirational claims. Where BuildOptix doesn't yet publish or offer something, that's stated plainly rather than glossed over.

Scope

What BuildOptix covers

  • Registered construction sites governed by CDM 2015 and HSE regulation
  • Multi-site organisations, from a single site upwards
  • Subcontractor RAMS, insurance and accreditation tracking
  • Worker inductions, CSCS cards and training compliance
  • Incident and near-miss reporting, from first report to close-out
  • Scheduling, calendar and cross-site compliance reporting

What it doesn't cover

  • Project cost estimating, procurement, invoicing or accounting
  • Programme/Gantt-chart project management, design or BIM tools

Features

Sites

A live register of every site you run.

  • Site profile, programme stage and principal contractor in one place
  • Switch between an all-sites view and a single site's workspace
  • Role-based visibility, so staff only see the sites they work on

Scheduling

Build site and labour schedules without a spreadsheet.

  • Drag-and-drop shift and trade scheduling with bulk patterns
  • Permission-gated editing for site managers and supervisors
  • Subcontractor and agency labour tracked alongside your own workforce

Calendar

RAMS reviews, inductions and inspections, together.

  • One calendar across every site, filterable by site or type
  • Upcoming RAMS reviews and inspections surfaced automatically
  • Event details link straight through to the site or subcontractor record

Subcontractors

A single record for every subcontractor on site.

  • Insurance, RAMS and accreditation expiry tracked per subcontractor
  • Induction and site access history kept together
  • Risk flags surfaced on the dashboard the moment they're logged

Forms & Records

Digital forms built for site safety and audit.

  • Drag-and-drop form builder for RAMS, toolbox talks and inspections
  • Draft and submitted records tracked separately, so nothing goes missing
  • A searchable record library for every form ever submitted

Inductions

Keep every worker compliant without the paper log book.

  • CSCS cards, inductions and training expiry tracked per worker
  • Role-based access from Operative to Site Manager
  • Worker profiles linked directly to site and schedule assignments

Incidents

Accidents and near-misses, handled properly.

  • Structured incident capture from first report to close-out
  • Photos, statements and outcomes attached to a single record
  • Trends surfaced so recurring issues don't go unnoticed

Reports

Everything an HSE auditor or client asks for, ready to export.

  • Compliance and incident roll-ups across every site
  • Filter by site, date range or category in seconds
  • Built from the same records staff already enter — nothing re-keyed

A note on this page

This page describes BuildOptix as published on this site as of September 2026. It's written in the same level of detail as a formal service specification so that principal contractors and commissioners evaluating BuildOptix alongside other platforms have a straight answer either way — including where the honest answer is "not currently offered." Get in touch if you need something confirmed in writing, or if a specific certification, SLA or integration is a hard requirement for your organisation: hello@buildoptix.co.uk.
