The compliance gap in front of you

On site, compliance paperwork is the difference between getting through the gate and being turned away. Principal contractors ask for RAMS before you start, CSCS and training records before your team sets foot on site, and a construction phase plan for the project itself. Complys makes all of it fast to produce and easy to keep — practical, not corporate. Whether you run a firm, train the industry or make content for it, that's a recommendation your audience actually needs.

No RAMS, no start on site

Principal contractors won't let a team through the gate without current risk assessments and method statements. Producing them from scratch for every job is where a lot of firms lose time — or lose the job.

Training and cards get demanded on the day

CSCS cards, SMSTS/SSSTS, first aid and trade tickets all have to be evidenced, often at short notice. Scrambling for certificates on the morning of a start is a familiar headache.

CDM paperwork trips up smaller firms

A construction phase plan is required on every construction project, F10 notification where the CDM notification thresholds are met, and site records throughout — and smaller contractors often don't have a system for producing them consistently.

Why builders, trades & creators refer Complys

Every firm needs the paperwork

RAMS, CPPs, toolbox talks and training records are required to win and run work — Complys makes them fast to produce and keep current.

Relevance beats follower count

A smaller, engaged trade audience converts better than a huge general one. If you reach construction, you're a strong fit — no massive following required.

They stay subscribed because they use it daily

Trades use Complys on live jobs, so eligible referrals can generate commission through the qualifying period rather than a one-off.

Why site paperwork is where trades win or lose work

For a working contractor, compliance isn't an abstract obligation — it's the paperwork that decides whether you get on site. A principal contractor asks for a risk assessment and method statement before you start. Every construction project needs a construction phase plan, with F10 notification where the CDM notification thresholds are met and further CDM duties on longer or larger jobs. Your team needs current CSCS cards, SMSTS or SSSTS, first aid and trade tickets, and someone will ask to see them. Get that pack right and quickly, and you win and keep work; fumble it, and you lose days or lose the job entirely.

The trouble is that most small and mid-sized firms produce this paperwork the hard way — rewriting a RAMS from an old Word file for every job, hunting for training certificates the morning of a start, and hoping the toolbox talks got recorded. It's slow, it's inconsistent, and it falls apart exactly when a main contractor or the HSE wants to see it. Complys replaces that with a system built for site: reusable RAMS you tailor per job, construction phase plans, toolbox talks, a training matrix that shows who's in date, and site evidence all in one place.

That's why Complys is such a natural recommendation for anyone who reaches the trades. It isn't a generic business tool bolted onto construction — it's built around the documents contractors are actually asked for. A builder recommending it to other firms, a training provider whose delegates need somewhere to keep their tickets and RAMS, or a creator with an engaged trade audience are all pointing people at something that solves a problem they hit on every job.

And relevance matters far more than reach here. You don't need hundreds of thousands of followers — a scaffolding firm, a roofing channel, a groundworks community or an SMSTS trainer with a genuinely relevant audience will convert better than a huge general account. Because trades use Complys on live work and stay subscribed, a single eligible referral can generate recurring commission for as long as they remain a qualifying customer within the commission period, all tracked through your Partner link.

builders, trades & creators: frequently asked questions

Do I need a huge social media following to refer Complys?

No. Relevance matters more than size. A builder recommending it to other firms, a trainer working with contractors, or a creator with a smaller but highly engaged trade audience can all be effective Partners. There's no joining fee and no minimum audience.

What construction paperwork does Complys handle?

Risk assessments and method statements (RAMS), construction phase plans, toolbox talks, site inductions, training matrices, certificates and site evidence — the documents trades are asked for to win and run work. It's built to be quick to produce and easy to keep in date.

Is it suitable for a small firm, not just big contractors?

Yes. Complys is designed to make the paperwork manageable for sole traders and small firms, not just large contractors — reusable RAMS and simple records mean you can produce a professional pack without a full-time compliance manager.

What commission rate do Complys Partners earn — 20% or 25%?

Founding Partners (the first 100) earn 25% on qualifying referred customer revenue from day one, with no threshold to reach. Standard Partners earn 20% on their first £20,000 of cumulative qualifying referred customer revenue, then 25% on qualifying revenue above £20,000. Once a Standard Partner reaches 25%, that Growth Partner rate is retained. All rates apply to qualifying subscription revenue actually received by Complys, subject to the Partner Programme terms.

Is Complys affiliate commission recurring?

Yes. Eligible Partners can earn recurring commission on qualifying subscription payments from customers they successfully refer, subject to the applicable commission period and the Complys Partner Programme terms. A successful referral may generate multiple commission payments rather than a single one-off payment.

How are Complys affiliate referrals tracked?

Approved Partners receive a unique affiliate referral link. When someone follows that link, referral information is used to attribute eligible sign-ups and qualifying subscriptions to the correct Partner in accordance with the programme's tracking and attribution rules. You can monitor activity in your Partner dashboard.

Is there a fee to become a Complys Partner?

No. There is no joining fee to apply for the Complys Affiliate Programme. Applications are reviewed to make sure prospective Partners, their audiences and their promotional methods are suitable for the programme.
