For contractors · free, always
Free for every contractor. Always.
Assured Contractors is free for contractors, whichever client you connect to and whatever plan that client is on: no joining fee, no annual fee, and no fee per client or per worker. You keep one company profile, and every client you connect to sees the current version.
Your client sends you its company code or invite link. Join in a couple of minutes and you're connected straight away; when the next client sends its code, enter it and it sees the same profile. No more re-sending the same PDFs to every new client's portal, and nothing to install: it runs in the browser on your phone.
- No joining, annual or per-client fee
- Join with your client's code in minutes
- Works on your phone
How you join
Join free in three steps.
Your part takes a couple of minutes and costs nothing. All you need is the company code, or invite link, from the client you work for. There's no course to sit and no app to download.
Get your client's code (or invite link)
The company you work for finds its code on its Contractors page and sends it to you. The code looks like NBG-7K3M; the invite link (assured.contractors/join/NBG-7K3M) fills it in for you.
Join free in minutes
Enter the code, then four fields: your name, work email, company name and a password. No card details. You go straight to your own workspace.
Connected — add more clients with their codes
You're connected to that client straight away, with no approval step. When the next client sends its code, enter it under “Working for a new client?” on your dashboard: same profile, still free.
Already have an account? Don't join again: enter the new client's code on your dashboard. Your documents, cards and vehicles are already there.
What it costs you
What will you never pay?
Why is it free?
The client running the site pays a subscription for its workspace. Contractors don't pay, on any plan. That's how Assured Contractors is priced, not a trial or an introductory offer.
It also means there's no Assured Contractors subscription for you to recover in your prices. The client pays one subscription; you pay nothing.
Curious what clients pay? It's on our pricing page, and none of it is charged to you.

Sound familiar?
What working for several clients usually looks like.
The same certificate, emailed eight times
Every insurance renewal means a round of emails to every principal contractor you work for, each with its own portal, login and form.
Paying again for every client
One client wants one scheme, the next wants another. Memberships and portal fees stack up, and none of them talk to each other.
Finding out at the gate
An operative's CSCS card ran out last week and nobody knew until security turned him away at 7am, with the van already parked up.
Cards in a spreadsheet, photos in WhatsApp
Card numbers and expiry dates live in the office manager's spreadsheet; the photos of the cards live in someone's phone.
What changes
What changes with Assured Contractors, at no cost to you?
Nothing to add to your prices
You never pay to join or to connect, however many clients you connect to, so there's no Assured Contractors cost to build into a quote.
One profile for every client
Upload a document once and every connected client sees the current version. Renew your public liability cover and it's updated for all of them in one go.
Contractor prequalificationYour own workspace
Your company, your team, your vehicles and your documents, in a workspace you control. Your dashboard lists every client you're connected to, and you add the next one by entering its code.
Reminders before anything expires
Documents, insurance and cards are flagged at 90, 60 and 30 days, so renewals happen before a client, or a gate, notices.
Your team's cards in one place
CSCS, CPCS, NPORS, IPAF, ECS, CCNSG, 18th Edition, Gas Safe: number, expiry and front and back photos. Record a renewed card once and every client sees it.
Worker competenceKeep your SSIP
Store your SSIP, CHAS, SafeContractor or Constructionline certificate as a document with its expiry date. Clients who ask for it see it straight away.
Being straight with you
Free, and honest about what it does.
Your clients still set the rules
Each client decides what it requires from you (some ask for SSIP, some for £10m employer's liability, some for particular cards for particular work) and its own reviewers accept or query your documents. Assured Contractors keeps everything in one place and shows you what each client has asked for. It doesn't approve you on a client's behalf.

How it plays out
One renewal, three clients
Jo runs the office at a 14-person groundworks firm working for three principal contractors.
A notification: the firm's public liability insurance expires in 30 days. Two CSCS cards are on the list too, due within 60.
The broker sends the renewed certificate. Jo uploads it once, with the new expiry date.
All three clients (the school job, the housebuilder, the utility) can now see the new certificate and review it on their own terms. No emails, no three portals, no fees.
One client asks for a COSHH assessment for a new resin. The request appears under “Requested by your clients”, and Jo uploads it there.
Two groundworkers have their renewed CSCS cards. Jo records each renewal with its new expiry and a photo, and their readiness updates for every client.

See how it worksIs Assured Contractors really free for contractors?
Yes. There's no joining fee, no annual fee, no fee per client and no fee per worker, whatever plan your clients are on. We don't ask for card details when you sign up.
The clients that run sites (principal contractors and site owners) pay a subscription for their workspace. That's how Assured Contractors is paid for.
How long does it take to join?
A couple of minutes, once you have the company code or invite link from the client you work for. The form asks for the code, your name, work email, company name and a password, then takes you straight to your workspace, already connected to that client. Add your documents and your team's cards when you're ready: each one is uploaded once, and every connected client sees it.
Is there a cost I'd need to build into my prices?
No. You pay nothing to use Assured Contractors, so there's no subscription to recover in your rates. The client pays for its own workspace; you pay nothing.
How do I connect to a client?
Your client sends you its company code or invite link; it finds both on its Contractors page. Join free with it and you're connected straight away, with no approval step.
Already have an account? Enter the next client's code under “Working for a new client?” on your dashboard: same profile, still free. Each client then sees your company details, documents and vehicles, and the workers you assign to it.
I don't have a code — can I still join?
Ask the company you work for — they'll find their code on their Contractors page. If they don't use Assured Contractors yet, point them to our pricing page (assured.contractors/pricing). It's free for you either way.
Do I or my workers need training or an app?
No. Assured Contractors runs in a web browser on phones, tablets and computers, so there's nothing to install, and no course to sit: the screens follow jobs you already do, like uploading a certificate with its expiry date or adding a worker's card. You add your workers and their cards; you can message any of them by email and their replies come back to you in Assured Contractors.
Do I still need SSIP, CHAS or SafeContractor?
If a client requires it, yes. Assured Contractors isn't an accreditation scheme and doesn't issue certificates. Upload your certificate once with its expiry date, and every client that asks for it can see it, with a reminder to you before it runs out.
Can one client see what another client decided about us?
No. Every client sees the same profile you keep, but each one reviews it separately, and its decisions, notes and audit trail stay in its own workspace.
