Provably comply with your duty to verify.

The Capptions framework that helps clients, main contractors and designers structure their statutory duty to verify (vergewisplicht): from risk analysis to a defensible dossier.

What is vergewisplicht

Don't just ask: verify.

As the client of a building project you are legally required to verify that the parties in your chain (main contractor, subcontractor, freelancer, designer) can do their work safely, healthily and according to the rules. Not once at award, but continuously.

A signed H&S plan or a certificate alone is not enough. The law demands active verification and a dossier that proves your effort: to colleagues, clients, regulators and, in the worst case, the court.

  • Risks mapped per project and phase
  • Stakeholders with clear roles and duties
  • Verification instead of assumptions
  • Evidence always in order

For whom

One language for the entire chain.

The duty to verify is not the responsibility of one party. The framework connects every role in the construction chain to the same facts, duties and evidence.

  • Primary audience

    Clients of building works

    From a one-off renovation to a continuous real-estate portfolio. Make your duty to verify concrete, shareable across your organisation and audit-proof.

  • Execution

    Main contractors & chain partners

    Select, onboard and monitor subcontractors, freelancers and suppliers with a uniform set of verifications that works in every chain.

  • Design & advice

    Designers & advisors

    Architects, engineers and safety consultants link design choices to chain risks and deliver a substantiated dossier.

  • Supervision & compliance

    Regulators & lawyers

    Inspectorates, municipalities and compliance officers receive a structured dossier that holds up against Wkb, Arbo and Environment Act.

The framework

Four pillars that make every duty to verify concrete.

Built on the masterclass Vergewisplicht for clients of building works. No checklist theatre, but a working method that fits any organisation and any project.

  1. 01

    Master template

    A structured base with all legal anchors (Wkb, Art. 2.26 Arbobesluit, Environment Act) from which every project is derived.

  2. 02

    Stakeholder matrix

    Who is client, who is contractor, who is designer? Roles, duties and information obligations per party, per project phase.

  3. 03

    Verification trail

    Every claim (certificate, H&S plan, qualification) gets a verification step and a piece of evidence in the dossier.

  4. 04

    Provable dossier

    One timeline of decisions, checks and corrections. Directly shareable with regulators, clients or judges.
