Stop drowning in paperwork. An AI compliance engine that handles building regulations, certification tracking, inspection scheduling, and regulatory documentation — so you can work instead of administrate.
Every UK tradesperson loses 8-12 hours per week on paperwork. Building regulations, Gas Safe certificates, NICEIC filings, insurance docs — it never stops. And the cost of getting it wrong? Fines, lost contracts, even prosecution.
The average UK tradesperson spends 30% of their working week on compliance documentation instead of billable work.
Missing a certification renewal or building regs filing can mean £5,000+ fines, contract disqualification, and legal liability.
Coordinating building control inspections, gas safety checks, and electrical certifications across multiple job sites is a logistical nightmare.
Every hour spent on admin is an hour not earning. For a sole trader billing £60/hr, that's £28,800/year in lost revenue.
Gas Safe registrations expire. NICEIC assessments lapse. Insurance renewals get missed. Manual tracking fails — and the consequences are severe.
UK Building Regulations span 16 Approved Documents. Cross-referencing every job against applicable regs is expert-level work — now automated.

Everything you need to know about the AI Compliance Checker for Trades.
It's an AI-powered platform that automates every aspect of regulatory compliance for UK trades businesses. It cross-references your job specifications against UK Building Regulations, Gas Safe requirements, and NICEIC standards. It generates the required documentation, tracks certification renewals, schedules inspections, and maintains a complete audit trail — all automatically.
Initial launch covers: Gas Safe Register (gas engineers), NICEIC (electricians), UK Building Regulations (all 16 Approved Documents), and general construction compliance. Future expansions planned for: OFTEC (oil technicians), HETAS (solid fuel), FENSA (windows/doors), and NAPIT (plumbing).
Existing solutions are digital filing cabinets — they store documents but don't understand them. The AI Compliance Checker actively reads your job specs, identifies applicable regulations, flags gaps before they become problems, and generates the exact documentation you need. It's not storage. It's intelligence.
