Everyday documentation in construction supervision
1–2 hours of office work after every site day – typing site diaries, sorting photos, formatting reports
Media breaks: photos on your smartphone, notes on paper, plans in the cloud, report in Word – all separate
Duplicated effort: the same information is captured multiple times – handwritten, by email, in the site diary, in the defect report
Liability risks: incomplete documentation can become expensive in disputes – missing timestamps, lost photos
Lack of standards: every project manager, every office – their own templates, their own processes
Loss of information: project knowledge sits in emails, local folders and the heads of individual staff
The 4-step workflow
Photos, videos, voice notes. GPS + timestamp automatically.
Image AI creates contextual image descriptions. Speech AI transcribes and structures.
Pre-configured building blocks for site diaries, defect reports, acceptance protocols.
PDF, Word or straight into the digital construction file. Company branding included.
Use cases in construction supervision

Progress documentation
Automatic assignment to construction phases and trades
Acceptance protocols
Checklist-based with integrated photo documentation
Site meetings
Voice recording → AI creates minutes with a task list and responsibilities
GPS location
Every entry located traceably and audit-proof
Human-in-the-loop: AI assists – it doesn't replace
- AI assists, it doesn't replace. No automatic defect assessment.
- Every transcription is editable, every text is professionally reviewed before export.
- Professional responsibility stays with the site manager.
- Versioning and timestamp per entry – audit-proof.
Why digitize now?
- BIM mandate from 2027 for public projects – digital documentation becomes the standard.
- Stricter liability – GPS timestamps are becoming recognized evidence.
- Skills shortage – standardized processes shorten onboarding for new staff.
- Rising project volumes – 30 % of working time goes to administrative documentation.
