Frequently asked questions

FredConSol is a connected paperwork and compliance system for UK construction subcontractors. Instead of separate spreadsheets, PDFs and group chats, everything — RAMS, site diaries, hazard reports, inductions, timesheets, COSHH, waste tracking, plant hire, materials, training records and carbon reporting — lives against the project it belongs to, in one place.

Subcontractors, site managers, compliance officers and business owners in UK construction. If you’re currently juggling Word templates, WhatsApp groups and a filing cabinet, FredConSol replaces that with one system.

No — RAMS is where FredConSol started, but the platform now covers the full paperwork trail a subcontractor deals with day to day: diaries, hazards, inductions, timesheets, COSHH, waste, hire, materials, training and carbon, plus purchase requests and notifications.

No. Every module works identically whether you’re a subcontractor or a Principal Contractor — there’s no feature gap between the two today.

See our Pricing page for current tiers. Plans are seat-based, with document allowances that scale by tier.

Yes — 7 days, including one RAMS document. Sign up, then enter code TRIAL-TODAY-7 under “Redeem Access Code” on your Billing page. No card required.

Yes — additional seats and document packs can be purchased directly from your Billing page without changing plans.

Yes. Cancellation is available directly from Billing. If your plan was purchased via card, you’ll be taken to a secure portal to manage it; other plans can be cancelled in-app immediately.

Yes. Access to your organisation’s data is controlled by role-based permissions you set — you decide who can see and do what, down to individual features like pricing visibility.

Your records (documents, projects, timesheets etc.) are stored in London, UK (europe-west2). Uploaded files (PDFs, photos, logos) are currently stored in the United States (US-EAST1) — we’re working to move this to match.

Only people you invite to your organisation, with the access level you choose. Owners and admins have full access by default; every other role is configured by you.

Yes — a dedicated Export Data tool lets you pull your organisation’s records (filtered by app, date range and fields) as a downloadable file at any time.

Sign up, create your organisation, invite your team, and start creating your first project folder. Each document type is accessible as its own tile from your dashboard.

The interface is built to be usable without training — tiles are labelled clearly, and each app follows the same patterns (create, save, export).

You can upload an existing PDF and attach it to a project as a reference document, so it sits alongside everything else for that job. It is not converted or parsed into an editable RAMS — the file is stored and viewable as-is, and editable RAMS documents are the ones you create in FredConSol.

A feedback/support option is available from within the app on every page.

Not yet — it’s on our roadmap. In the meantime, the feedback option inside the app reaches us directly from whichever page you’re on.

Yes — FredConSol is available as a native Android app (direct download, no Play Store needed) and works as an installable app on iPhone/iPad via Safari’s “Add to Home Screen”.

Not yet for full functionality — this is planned. Currently the app requires an internet connection to load and sync your data.

No — the app loads your live site content, so most updates apply automatically without you doing anything.

Yes — Live Hire and Materials & Services both track cost, with a dedicated Rate Search tool (Commercial-gated) to check what you’ve historically paid.

Yes — Hazard Reporting includes dedicated RIDDOR report types alongside Near Miss and Incident/Accident.

Yes — a dedicated Carbon module supports SECR-style reporting by financial year.

Yes — Purchase Requests lets any team member raise a request, routed to whoever holds the Purchaser permission, with a tracked status from request through to received.

Yes — a built-in notification system alerts relevant people (e.g. purchasers on new requests, users on document-related notices) via an in-app bell and notification centre.
