Compliance Management Software for UK Construction

An access rules engine that checks every requirement at clock-in and blocks non-compliant workers automatically. Competency, induction, right to work, bans, and working hours, all enforced in real time, all with a full audit trail.

Compliance by clipboard does not scale

On a 200-person site with 15 subcontractors, keeping track of who has completed their induction, whose CSCS card is still valid, whose right to work documentation is current, and who has been banned from site is a full-time job. Most principal contractors rely on a combination of spreadsheets, emails, and verbal checks at the gate.

The result is predictable. Workers slip through without a valid induction. An expired CSCS card goes unnoticed for weeks. When the HSE arrives for an unannounced visit, the site manager scrambles to assemble evidence that compliance duties have been discharged.

CDM 2015 places clear duties on principal contractors to ensure that every person on site is competent, inducted, and authorised to be there. The Building Safety Act 2022 has increased scrutiny on higher-risk buildings. The regulatory direction is towards more accountability, not less. Manual compliance processes cannot keep up.

How AttendIQ automates compliance

AttendIQ replaces manual gate checks with an automated access rules engine that evaluates every requirement for every worker, every time they clock in.

Access rules engine

Configure the rules that must be met for site access: site induction, required competencies with minimum confidence scores, right to work, employer connection, and working hours limits. The engine evaluates all rules and returns all failures in a single response, so workers know everything they need to fix.

Site-level requirements

Set requirements at any level of your hierarchy: organisation, project, site, or zone. A confined space qualification might apply only to one zone, while a CSCS card is required for the entire site. Rules cascade, so organisation-level requirements apply everywhere without duplication.

Expiry dashboard

See the compliance status of your entire workforce at a glance. Filter by site, employer, or trade. Identify workers with expiring competencies, incomplete inductions, or missing documentation. Automated reminders at 90, 30, and 7 days handle the chasing for you.

Full audit trail

Every access decision, every rule evaluation, and every block is logged with a timestamp, the worker, the site, and the specific rules that were checked. When an auditor asks for evidence of your compliance controls, you produce it in seconds, not days.

How it works

1

Set your rules

Configure access rules for each site: required competencies, inductions, right to work, minimum confidence scores, and any custom conditions. Rules apply automatically to every worker who attempts to enter.

2

Automatic enforcement

When a worker clocks in, the access rules engine evaluates every rule in under 200 milliseconds. Compliant workers enter. Non-compliant workers are blocked and shown all reasons. No manual gate checks needed.

3

Monitor and report

Use the compliance dashboard to track workforce readiness. Generate reports for audits, client reviews, or management. Export compliance data at any time.

Frequently asked questions

How does the access rules engine work?

The access rules engine evaluates a configurable set of rules each time a worker attempts to clock in. It checks: ban status, right to work, employer connection, required competencies (with minimum confidence score), site induction completion, and working hours limits. If a worker fails any rules, they are blocked and shown every reason for the block in a single response, not one at a time. The only exceptions are bans and right to work expiry, which terminate evaluation immediately for privacy and legal reasons respectively.

Can I set different compliance requirements for different sites?

Yes. Access rules are configured per site and can differ between zones within a site. You might require a confined space qualification only for workers entering a specific zone, while requiring a CSCS card for the entire site. Rules cascade through your hierarchy: organisation-level rules apply everywhere, and site or zone-level rules add further requirements.

Does AttendIQ help with CDM 2015 compliance?

AttendIQ is designed to help principal contractors meet their duties under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015. This includes ensuring workers are competent (Regulation 8), providing site-specific inductions (Regulation 14), knowing who is on site at any time, and maintaining records of attendance and compliance. Every action is audited with a timestamp, user, and reason, creating the evidence trail CDM expects.

How does the expiry dashboard work?

The compliance dashboard shows you the current status of your workforce against your requirements. You can see how many workers have expiring competencies, incomplete inductions, or missing right to work documentation. Filter by site, employer, or trade. Drill into individual workers to see exactly what is missing or expiring. Automated reminders handle the chasing, so you focus on exceptions.

What happens when a supply chain worker does not meet site requirements?

If a supply chain worker attempts to clock in and does not meet one or more site requirements, they are blocked and shown all the reasons. Their employer admin in the supply chain company is also notified. The supply chain company can then update the worker's records, add missing competencies, or complete the required induction. Once all requirements are met, the worker can clock in normally.
