What swiftRMS Does Better

  • Prices you can see

    swiftRMS Pro is £49 a month and Business is £399 a month, on the pricing page, with no quote or demo needed. Unibuild quotes one figure per firm.

  • More document types

    swiftRMS writes the RAMS, method statement, COSHH, Safe System of Work, HAVs, manual handling and Construction Phase Plan, plus security risk assessments, so the hazards, controls and PPE match from one document to the next.

  • Two signatures on high risk

    On Business, mark a document high risk and it needs a named co-signer's counter-signature before anyone can share, export or sign it. Every signer confirms they have reviewed the AI content themselves.

  • The way to hospital on every page

    Every PDF names the nearest A&E with a route map, and a QR code beside it opens turn-by-turn directions on any phone.

Where they lead

Where Unibuild Wins

An honest comparison has to say where the other tool is the better fit.

  • Unlimited users, one fee

    Unibuild charges one flat monthly fee per firm with unlimited users, fixed for three years. swiftRMS Business includes 10 users and 50 workers.

  • Subcontractor RAMS

    Subcontractors submit their RAMS into Unibuild, where you check them with an AI review and approve or return them. swiftRMS doesn't take in RAMS written in other tools.

  • Versions and re-signing

    In Unibuild every edit creates a new version that workers must sign again, with an edit log. swiftRMS records who signed each document but doesn't track versions this way.

  • More of the site in one place

    Unibuild adds QR clock-in, timesheets, a subcontractor portal, a client portal, dynamic risk assessments, near-miss reports and project records. swiftRMS sticks to the safety documents.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Is swiftRMS a good alternative to Unibuild?

It depends on how much of the site you want in one system. If you mainly need safety documents, including Safe Systems of Work, HAVs, manual handling and security risk assessments, at a published price, swiftRMS fits. If you want subcontractor RAMS review, versioned re-signing, timesheets and portals with unlimited users, Unibuild does more.

How much does Unibuild cost?

Unibuild doesn't publish prices. On 19 October 2026 it said each firm gets one flat monthly figure on quote, with unlimited users, no setup fee and the price fixed for three years, with heavier AI use charged at the AI provider's rate. swiftRMS Pro is £49 a month, Business is £399 a month, and Enterprise is quoted per deployment.

Can subcontractors send their RAMS into swiftRMS?

No. swiftRMS is for writing, approving and briefing your own RAMS, and it doesn't take in documents written in other tools. If a subcontractor uses swiftRMS, they can send you a signed-off RAMS by share link.

Can workers sign RAMS on their phone with swiftRMS?

Yes, on Business. Add workers to the roster once, with no login or seat. On site they scan the QR code on the document, read it and sign, and you get a record of who was briefed and when. Business includes 50 workers.

Can I try both?

Yes. Both offer a 14-day free trial with no card needed. Describe the same job in each and compare the RAMS you get back.
