Subcontractor Compliance Register

Build a structured compliance register for your supply chain. Track documents, flag expiries, and see gaps — without spreadsheets.

The problem

You need a compliance register that actually works

Every main contractor needs a subcontractor compliance register. Most use spreadsheets. Some use shared drives with folders per subcontractor. None of these approaches give you reliable, real-time visibility of your supply chain's compliance status.

1

Client asks for your compliance register — you spend a day pulling it together from three different sources

2

A subcontractor you thought was compliant turns out to have gaps you never spotted

3

Onboarding a new subcontractor means manually creating a checklist and chasing every document

4

No standardised list of required documents — each project manager tracks different things

5

Year-end compliance review takes weeks because data is fragmented

Frequently Asked Questions — Subcontractor Compliance Register

How is this different from the Construction Compliance Register page?

Both solve compliance tracking, but from different angles. The 'Construction Compliance Register' page is aimed at companies searching for a general register tool. This page focuses specifically on tracking your subcontractor supply chain — per-subcontractor profiles, onboarding workflows, and supply chain gap analysis.

Can I set different document requirements for different subcontractor types?

The standard setup includes a core document checklist that applies to all subcontractors. If you need trade-specific requirements (e.g. gas safe registration for plumbing subcontractors), we can configure that during your free onboarding.

How do I prepare for client audits?

ContractorVault generates compliance reports showing the status of every subcontractor against your document requirements. You can produce a client-ready report in minutes instead of spending days pulling data from spreadsheets.

Is this suitable for frameworks like Constructionline or Achilles?

ContractorVault helps you maintain the document tracking that framework assessors want to see. We don't submit to frameworks on your behalf, but having a structured register with automatic tracking demonstrates the supply chain management processes they look for.

Stop Chasing Paperwork. Start Seeing Clearly.
