CDM 2015 · Principal Contractors & Clients

One project. One duty chain. One live compliance record.

CDM compliance shouldn't live across Word, Excel, inboxes and WhatsApp.

DocRide connects your Client, Principal Designer, Principal Contractor, Designers, Subcontractors and Site Team around one project — from PCI and CPP to competence, site activity and the H&S File.

Unlimited invited duty holders and subcontractors join free.

The documents aren't the problem. The gaps between them are.

  • PCI in Word.
  • CPP in another folder.
  • Subbie RAMS arriving by email.
  • Training certificates in Excel.
  • Inductions on paper.
  • Incidents in WhatsApp.
  • The H&S File assembled at handover.

DocRide connects them into one project record.

One chain

Every duty holder works in the same project, with access based on their role.

One workflow

PCI feeds CPP. Subcontractors submit evidence. Site activity becomes project evidence. The H&S File grows as the project progresses.

One evidence trail

Versions, reviews, submissions, inductions, incidents, actions and decisions are recorded against the project.

One live view

See what's missing, expiring, overdue or awaiting review before it becomes someone else's problem.

Your entire CDM project. Connected.

Designers · Subcontractors · Workers · OHS Reviewers

all connected to the same project.

DocRide doesn't replace every tool on a construction project.

It connects the compliance information that those tools leave fragmented.

Not another document management system.

A CDM compliance platform built around the duty chain.

Most compliance tools start with a document:

  • Upload a RAMS.
  • Store a certificate.
  • Complete a checklist.

DocRide starts with the project and the people responsible for it.

The project comes first

Every document, worker, subcontractor, inspection, incident and action belongs to the project.

The duty holder comes with it

Everyone sees what they need to see — Client, PD, PC, Designer, Subcontractor or Site Team.

The workflow follows the work

PCI CPP Prequalification Site H&S File

The evidence stays attached

Who submitted it. Who reviewed it. What changed. When it happened. What happened next.

Supply chain

Your supply chain shouldn't be your compliance blind spot.

Invite every subcontractor into the project. They join free. Give each one the requirements relevant to their work, then review everything from one place.

  1. Subbie invited
  2. Checklist issued
  3. Documents uploaded
  4. PC reviews
  5. Accepted / returned
  6. Live project record

No chasing

Subbies see exactly what you need from them.

No inbox archaeology

Every submission belongs to the project.

No silent acceptance

Documents have an explicit review state.

42 documents awaiting review

One number. One click. One queue.

Stop chasing compliance. Start controlling it.

“Have you sent the RAMS?”
Submission waiting for review
“Is their certificate still valid?”
Expiry already flagged
“Where's the latest CPP?”
Current version identified
“Who hasn't been inducted?”
Live induction status
“Did anyone deal with that incident?”
Action assigned and tracked
“Can you send me the H&S File?”
Project evidence already assembled
“Who reviewed this?”
Review recorded against the document
“Where did this version come from?”
Full version history

The result: less chasing, earlier action, stronger evidence.

Live project control

Documents create the evidence. The dashboard keeps the project under control.

One live view across your own team, every subcontractor and every active project.

Green — in order Amber — action due soon Red — needs attention

People

Know who's on the project, who is inducted and whose competence evidence is missing or expiring.

  • Competence pulled from each company's training matrix — no re-typing
  • Inductions recorded on site, evidenced with the signed sheet
  • Expiring tickets flagged 30 days out, before they become a stop

Raised hands, incidents, toolbox talks, PPE concerns, inspections and corrective actions — recorded as they happen.

  • Raised hands flash until someone acknowledges them — nothing sits unseen
  • Incidents carry an AI RIDDOR check and a deadline to report to HSE
  • Toolbox-talk trend week on week — see engagement slipping before it does

Site

The compliance record doesn't end when the document is signed.

A RAMS can be perfect on paper. What happens on site is what matters.

The CDM document flow

Four documents. One connected project.

01 — PCI

Pre-Construction Information

Owned by the Principal Designer.

Structured information in. AI-assisted draft out. Competent review before issue.

02 — CPP

Construction Phase Plan

Owned by the Principal Contractor.

Generated from the project information and PCI, then edited and versioned for the construction phase.

03 — Supply Chain

Subcontractor Prequalification

Owned by the PC. Completed by subcontractors.

The PC defines what's required. Subcontractors submit the evidence. The PC reviews and records the decision.

04 — H&S File

Health & Safety File

Started early. Built throughout.

Evidence and residual risks accumulate during the project instead of being reconstructed at handover.

The documents aren't four separate jobs. They're one project story.

AI + human review

AI does the drafting. People make the decisions.

DocRide uses AI to remove the blank page and the repetitive work — not to replace competent judgement.

Competent review

No in-house competent reviewer?

Bring your own OHS professional into the project — or hire an independent competent professional when you need one.

One task · One review · One evidence trail

Straight answers

Frequently asked questions

Why not just use Word, Excel and a folder?

You can. That's how most projects start. The problem comes when multiple duty holders, subcontractors, workers and documents need to stay coordinated throughout the project. Word stores the document. Excel stores the list. Email sends the attachment. DocRide connects the people, documents, decisions and evidence around the project.

Is DocRide a replacement for Procore or construction management software?

DocRide focuses specifically on the CDM compliance workflow and duty chain. It connects compliance information rather than attempting to replace every construction management system.

Does DocRide replace a health & safety professional?

No. AI assists with drafting and organisation. Competent people remain responsible for professional review and decisions.

Do subcontractors have to pay?

No. Invited subcontractors join the project free.

Does DocRide guarantee CDM compliance?

No software can guarantee compliance. DocRide helps duty holders manage, monitor and evidence their responsibilities.

What happens to the H&S File?

It starts with the project and develops throughout the job rather than being reconstructed at handover.

Can we use our own OHS professional?

Yes.

What if we don't have one?

You can engage a competent professional through the DocRide Marketplace.
