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.
