Construction accreditation & H&S documentation
Your accreditation is a paperwork exam.
We sit it for you.
Constructionline, CHAS, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Acclaim all assess the same thing: whether your documents say what the assessor needs them to say. We run an accredited repair and maintenance contractor on housing association frameworks — we complete these applications for our own business before we complete them for yours.
What we do
Applications completed in full, not advised on
You send your company details and certificates. We write what is missing, complete the online application question by question, and answer assessor queries until it is resolved. Every document is issued in your company name, with your logo, for your director's signature.
SSIP accreditation
CHAS, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe or Acclaim. Gap review against the question set, health and safety policy written or updated, risk assessments and COSHH produced, assessment completed and submitted.
Constructionline
Silver, Gold or Platinum, including the Common Assessment Standard evidence behind it. The Gold checklist runs to roughly seventy items — anti-bribery, modern slavery, FIR, ESG, cyber, drug and alcohol, training matrix, three years of accident figures. We build the pack.
Risk assessments & method statements
Site specific RAMS written for your task, your site, your plant and your people. UK format, CDM 2015 aligned, built to survive a principal contractor's review rather than a template with your name dropped into it.
Construction phase plans
Required under CDM 2015 regulation 12 before the construction phase begins on every notifiable project. Duty holders, F10, site rules, welfare, sequencing, traffic management and the significant risks for your works.
Health & safety policy and arrangements
The policy, the arrangements manual and the organisational responsibilities — in the format every scheme expects, signed and dated by your director, and written so it still passes next year's review.
Annual renewal
Every scheme renews at twelve months and forces a full document refresh whether your business changed or not. Policies re-dated and re-signed, certificates and accounts swapped, accident figures updated, resubmitted.
Ranked by how often we see it
Why applications get rejected
Almost none of these are about how you actually work on site. They are about what the paperwork can prove on the day the assessor opens it.
A policy that was not reviewed within the last twelve months
Every mandatory policy has to show a review date inside twelve months, a director's approval and evidence it was communicated to staff. An undated policy from three years ago fails on sight.
Risk assessments that do not match the work you do
Assessors want two site-specific risk assessments and two COSHH assessments dated within twelve months. A generic pack covering trades you have never carried out is worse than none.
An expired insurance certificate
Employers' liability, public liability and, where relevant, professional indemnity. One lapsed date stops the whole submission, and the clock keeps running while you find the renewal.
No accident and RIDDOR figures
Three years of statistics are expected, including nil returns. "We have never had an accident" is not an answer — the assessor wants the numbers and the recording system behind them.
No named competent health and safety advice
You need a named source of competent advice, their credentials, and dated examples of advice actually given. A certificate on the wall does not cover it.
A training matrix with no expiry dates
Cards and tickets listed without expiry dates read as unmanaged. The matrix has to show what expires when, and what happens before it does.
How it runs
Three steps, and you are only involved in two
Send what you hold
Company details, insurance certificates, accounts, and any policies or risk assessments you already have. We tell you free of charge exactly what is missing and what will fail before you commit to anything.
We build and submit
We write the documents in your company name with your logo, complete the portal question by question, and send you the pack for your director's signature. Nothing is submitted without your approval.
We handle the queries
Assessors come back with questions on most first submissions. We answer them and resubmit until it is resolved. If it is rejected on something we prepared, we fix it at no extra cost.
Fixed prices
Prices, in full, before you enquire
All figures exclude VAT and exclude the scheme's own registration fee, which you pay directly to the scheme. Typical scheme fees run from around £220 for Constructionline Bronze to £909 for CHAS Elite.
SSIP — single scheme, application only
One of CHAS, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe or Acclaim, completed and submitted using documents you already hold.

The above plus the health and safety policy, risk assessments and COSHH assessments needed to pass.

Two schemes completed, complete evidence pack branded to you, resubmissions until you pass.

Application completed in full, including the online submission.
Constructionline Gold
Gold completed in full, plus the core policies and procedures the checklist requires.
Constructionline Gold + Common Assessment Standard pack
Gold, a gap report against the current checklist, and every mandatory policy produced.
RAMS
Site specific risk assessment and method statement. Bundles: three for £225, five for £395.

Annual renewal
Per scheme, per year. Re-dated, re-signed, re-evidenced and resubmitted.
Set a reminder for month eleven
Accreditation is not a thing you win once. Every scheme renews at twelve months, and the rules force a full policy refresh even if nothing in your business has changed. Most companies that get rejected at renewal passed comfortably the year before. We will remind you six weeks out.
