Labourers, trades, skilled. CSCS-aware, project-aware.
Construction recruitment runs on cards, projects and tiered pay. Different ticket grades, different rates. Main contractor vs sub-contractor terms. RateCalc.io is shaped around how construction sites actually price labour.
Card needed to start. Nothing is taken for 7 days, and if you cancel before day 8 you pay nothing.
Card-grade pay tiers built into the rate card
Green, blue, gold, black cards each cost different things to place. Compliance upcost priced separately per grade so the bill rate reflects the real cost of the placement, not a flat assumption.
Card-grade and ticket requirements priced in
A CSCS green card and a CSCS gold card cost different things to place. CPCS-ticketed trades cost different again. Quoting on a flat rate without ticket awareness loses you margin on every skilled placement.
- CSCS green / blue / gold rate tiers per role
- CPCS / NPORS ticket-grade upcosts modelled per trade
- Project-based rate cards distinct from agency defaults
Built around how construction recruitment actually works.
The deep, real features that move the needle for this vertical. Each one ships out of the box, no add-on, no integration to configure.
Labourer to trade pay tiering
Pre-set pay tiers across general labourers, semi-skilled, trades and skilled. The right rate band gets surfaced when the consultant picks the role.
Project-based commercial terms
Main contractor terms vs sub-contractor terms. Hold project-level rates separate from agency defaults so consultants quote at the right number for the right project.
Per-site rate variations
Big projects run multiple sites with slightly different rates each. Per-site logic per client so the wrong rate never goes out.
Ramp-up volume pricing
Construction projects ramp through phases. Volume pricing tiers handle the phase-2 ramp-up without the consultant having to recalculate.
Branded project-onboarding ToBs
Each project may need its own ToB with site-specific clauses (site induction, safety, payment terms). One-click ToB from accepted quote keeps documentation tight.
Audit trail for HSE + main contractor compliance
Big contractors audit agencies. Every signed agreement with signer email + IP + timestamp ready for any review.
Main contractor vs sub-contractor, separated cleanly
Big contractors negotiate differently than sub-co projects. Hold per-project terms so the same labourer rate goes out at the right fee for the right project, with the right ToB attached.
CPCS, NPORS, IPAF, PASMA priced per placement
Ticketed trades cost more to deliver. Each ticket priced separately and added per placement so margin reflects the cost of placing skilled, certified workers, not generic labour.

Card-grade aware, project-aware, margin-protected.
Construction-specific maths built into every quote, not bolted on after.
Every plan starts with a 7-day free trial. Card needed to start. Cancel before day 8 and you pay nothing.
