What is a Delay Defense Pack?
A Delay Defense Pack is a structured PDF that compiles your claim-relevant daily logs into a single document: cover page with project details, chronological timeline of all flagged reports, weather records table (temperature, rain, wind, site conditions), detailed report pages with photos and annotations, and evidence integrity blocks with tamper-evident hashes. It's designed to give your claims team or attorney a complete, defensible record.
How does BuildLog help with construction delay claims?
BuildLog lets you flag daily reports as "claim relevant" and tag them with delay categories (weather, equipment, subcontractor, owner-directed, permitting, materials, RFI, differing conditions, force majeure). Every report includes tamper-evident timestamps, GPS coordinates, and an evidence integrity hash. When a dispute arises, generate a Delay Defense Pack that compiles everything into a structured, time-stamped record.
What weather data does BuildLog track?
Each daily report can include temperature, rain (yes/no), wind conditions, and a general site condition description (muddy, frozen ground, standing water, etc.). This data appears in every report, in the Delay Defense Pack weather summary table, and in PDF exports.
What is evidence integrity?
Evidence integrity means every submitted report includes a tamper-evident record: capture source (web or mobile), GPS coordinates, submission timestamp, version history, and a SHA-256 export hash. Once submitted, report content is locked and cannot be modified. This creates a defensible chain of documentation that holds up in disputes and arbitration.
Does BuildLog work offline?
Yes. BuildLog is an offline-first app. Create reports, take photos, record voice notes, and log weather data without internet. Everything saves locally and syncs automatically when you reconnect. Built specifically for remote civil construction sites with unreliable connectivity.
How much does BuildLog cost?
Pilot: $299/month for up to 2 sites and 10 users (30-day commitment). Team: $799/month for up to 10 sites with unlimited users. Enterprise: $2,500+/month for unlimited sites with dedicated onboarding and volume pricing. All plans include Delay Defense Pack exports, weather tracking, evidence integrity, offline support, and voice-to-text. No free tier — this is professional-grade claims defense tooling.
How long does it take to create a daily report?
Most reports take under 2 minutes. Walk the site, tap record, speak your log, snap a few photos, toggle weather conditions, and flag claim-relevant entries. BuildLog transcribes your voice, GPS-tags your photos, and timestamps everything automatically.
Does BuildLog work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. BuildLog is a progressive web app (PWA) that works on any modern smartphone, tablet, or desktop. Open it in Safari or Chrome, add it to your home screen, and it works like a native app with full offline support. No app store download required.
