For UK Utility & Groundworks Contractors

Independent RAMS & compliance reviews for utility and groundworks contractors.

We review your RAMS, construction phase plans and permits — and tell you what's missing, what's risky, and what to fix — before your paperwork reaches clients, auditors or project teams. Reviewed by someone who's actually run the projects.

The real problem

Good contractors don't usually have a compliance problem.
They have a time problem.

Site managers are running jobs. Contracts managers are chasing programmes. Subcontractor paperwork arrives late, and documents are often reviewed at the end of a long day.

That's when things get missed. CivilsIQ provides an independent review of your documentation — before those issues become client queries, audit findings or project delays.

Example findings

What a review actually catches.

A real example of the kind of issues we flag — the things a generic tool or a quick glance would miss.

Utility excavation RAMS — review

Risk rating: High
Issues identified
  • Overhead lines not controlled — no HSG47 flagging or safe clearance
  • Cable avoidance unclear — no CAT scan or safe-digging controls in the permit
  • Excavation support missing — no shoring or batter for the ground conditions
  • Permit references absent — wouldn't have stood up to a client audit
Outcome: flagged with recommended controls, and corrected by the contractor before submission.

Illustrative example based on common findings. CivilsIQ provides advisory review; the contractor remains responsible for their own compliance.

Why CivilsIQ exists

Built by someone who's done the job.

CivilsIQ was founded by an experienced utility and infrastructure professional with hands-on responsibility for delivering complex civil engineering and utility projects.

Having managed construction activities, subcontractors, RAMS, permits and compliance requirements on multi-million-pound schemes, the founder knows the realities of project delivery — and the pressure on site teams who carry the compliance load while trying to actually build the job.

CivilsIQ exists to give contractors an independent second pair of eyes on their documentation — before it reaches clients, auditors or project teams.
