Everything you need to run a compliant, professional drylining and fitout operation — from RAMS to final handover.

Most drylining contractors can quote a job. The ones who build a proper business have the paperwork to back it up. This kit gives you the compliance documents, site records, and professional communications that protect your business on every job — without spending hours building them from scratch.

What's included:

✓ Combined RAMS — Short Form — risk assessment and method statement for straightforward drylining and fitout jobs. Covers partitions, MF ceilings, grid ceilings, and wall lining. Written specifically for this trade — not a generic template with your name on it.

✓ Combined RAMS — Full Form — comprehensive RAMS with separate method statement sequences for each activity type, plus plant and equipment and environmental considerations. For larger projects and more demanding principal contractors.

✓ Subcontractor Agreement — a plain-English 14-clause subcontract agreement written from the subcontractor's perspective. Covers payment terms (Construction Act compliant), variations, programme, defects, CIS, insurance, termination, and adjudication.

✓ Site Handover Certificate — formal notification that your works are complete and ready for inspection. Records the defects liability period start date and retention release amounts.

✓ Defects and Snagging Notice — track defects and snagging items through to resolution. Works for pre-completion self-inspection and DLP defects notifications from the main contractor.

✓ Material Order Form — a professional order document to send to your supplier when placing a materials order. Includes company details, site address, job reference, site contact, and a line-item table for materials. Keeps a clear record of what was ordered, when, and by whom.

✓ Material Order Log (.docx + .xlsx) — record every material order, delivery, and status. Available in both document and spreadsheet format.

✓ Weekly Job Planner — allocate operatives across all active jobs, track deliveries, and plan the week at a glance.

✓ Contractor Comms Swipe File — ready-to-use professional messages for every stage of the job. Quote follow-ups, payment chasers (three-message escalation sequence), delay notices, variation acknowledgements, pre-start confirmations, practical completion notifications, defects responses, and new client introductions. Every message references the correct statutory rights where relevant.

What you get:

• 10 document types across 21 files

• Every working document as an editable Word file (.docx) — open in Google Docs or Microsoft Word

• A completed demo for every template using realistic fictional job data — so you can see exactly what a finished document looks like before you use it

• A 4-page instruction sheet — explains how every document works, when to use it, and how the kit connects with the Drylining Contractor Quote Pack

• A branded Comms Swipe File master copy — add your own details, share with your team, and have the right message ready for every situation
