CDM & SSIP READINESS · 7 QUESTIONS · ~3 MINUTES

See if you're ready to win and deliver compliant construction work, in 7 questions.

Most contractors find out they have a CDM or SSIP gap at the worst possible moment: when a tender asks for proof they cannot supply, or when the principal contractor's auditor turns up on site. Seven questions here, and you will know where you stand before anyone else checks.

Tick everything already in place — we'll show you where the gaps are.

FeatureGrid
WHAT THE CHECK COVERS

The things a client, principal contractor or auditor actually checks.

Seven questions covering your CDM 2015 duty-holder roles and your SSIP evidence readiness. You answer yes, no or not sure. There is nothing to upload.

The right SSIP accreditation

Whether you hold the SSIP accreditation that fits the work you chase, and whether the certificate is current. The wrong scheme, or a lapsed one, shuts you out of approved-supplier lists.

Risk assessments and method statements

How you produce and control RAMS. An assessor wants evidence they are specific to the job and the site, not a generic template carried from the last project.

Your CDM 2015 duty-holders

Who carries each duty under the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015, and whether they know they hold it. Unassigned or unaware duty-holders are a common red flag.

Competence and training records

How you record competence, training and site inductions. When a principal contractor asks who is qualified to do what, the answer has to be on paper, not in someone's head.

F10 and pre-construction information

Whether your F10 notification and pre-construction information processes hold up. These are the documents that prove a project was set up correctly from day one.

HOW IT WORKS

Seven questions, a traffic-light report, an ordered action plan.

Around three minutes start to finish. No cold call attached.

— STEP 01
Answer seven questions
Yes, no or not sure across SSIP, RAMS, duty-holders, competence records and F10. A 'not sure' is a useful answer; it usually points to the same gap a client would spot.
— STEP 02
Get a traffic-light report
Green means you are in good shape. Amber means a fix worth making before it bites. Red means a gap that could lose you a contract or fail an audit.
— STEP 03
Read the plain-English action
Each result comes with what to sort and why it matters, so you know which reds are legal duties under CDM 2015 and which are commercial requirements.
— STEP 04
Work the ordered action plan
A short plan ordered by what to do first. Your score appears on screen as soon as you finish. If a gap worries you, book a free duty-holder call.

QUESTIONS

Common questions

What does the CDM/SSIP Readiness Checker actually test?
It checks the practical things that decide whether you win and safely deliver construction work: your SSIP accreditation, your RAMS, your CDM duty-holder roles, your competence records, and your F10 and pre-construction processes. It flags gaps before a client or auditor finds them.
Is this only for big contractors?
No. Small and medium contractors are exactly who it helps, because they are the ones most often asked to prove compliance they have never had time to formalise. The questions scale to your size.
I'm not sure how to answer some questions. Does that matter?
A 'not sure' is a useful answer. It usually points to the same gap a client would spot. The report treats it as an amber flag and tells you what to confirm.
Does a red result mean I'm breaking the law?
Not necessarily. It means there is a gap worth closing before it costs you a contract or fails an audit. Some reds are legal duties under CDM 2015; others are commercial requirements. The report makes the difference clear.
Why trust the result?
This is the same assessment our construction consultants run informally on a first call. Matthew, who leads our CDM and Principal Designer work, brings 25-plus years on construction projects. One client lifted their H&S audit score from 76% to 97% over three years working this way.
What happens to my details?
The readiness check does not ask for any personal details. If you choose to book a free duty-holder review, we only use your details to arrange it, and the right consultant can answer any follow-up questions. We never sell your data. The privacy policy at /privacy-policy/ has the full picture.
