Compare consultant fees, in-house labour cost, and AI-generated RAMS for your trade and project. Honest UK 2026 pricing, no signup required.
RAMS pricing in the UK varies significantly based on three factors: who writes it, how complex the work is, and how fast you need it.
Independent H&S consultants typically charge GBP 250-500 per RAMS for standard activities, GBP 500-800 for complex or multi-trade work. Day rates run GBP 400-700, with most RAMS taking 1-2 days from briefing to delivery.
If you have an in-house competent person, the cost is their time. Typical labour cost: 4-8 hours at GBP 25-50 per hour = GBP 100-400 per RAMS. Hidden costs include training, software licenses, and the opportunity cost of taking the writer away from billable work.
AI tools like Complys produce trade-specific, project-specific RAMS in 30 seconds. Cost ranges from free (Complys 90-day trial) to GBP 99 per month for unlimited Growth Plus tier. The output requires review and minor customisation but the core content is HSE-aligned.
Typically GBP 150-800 depending on complexity, writer (consultant vs in-house) and turnaround time.
Yes when you have no in-house competence, when work is unusual, or when a contract specifically demands consultant-prepared RAMS. For routine work, in-house or AI tools are usually adequate.
Consultants 1-3 days. In-house 4-8 hours. AI-generated 30 seconds plus 5-10 minutes review.
Yes if the system uses current UK legislation and trade-specific hazards. Always review AI output before using it on a real project.
No - RAMS must be project-specific. Generic RAMS reused across projects fail HSE inspections and main contractor pre-start reviews.
Whenever scope changes, after near-misses, or as a minimum at 12-month intervals on long projects.
