For execution architects, OPC and the maîtrise d'œuvre

Construction quality management software for architects

Builddar is the construction quality operating system. From the first site inspection (OPR) to the signed reception PV: one structured process, fully traceable, and defensible for 10 years.

Builddar is the construction quality operating system, built for execution architects, OPC and the maîtrise d'œuvre who run execution, site inspection (OPR), and project handover. The software covers the full quality cycle on site: issue tracking and punch list, reception PV, customizable workflows and checklists, advanced site reports, document management (DMS), and an automatic reminder system. Every issue captured on site becomes a dated, located, and photographed piece of evidence, kept for the 10 years of decennial liability. Data is hosted in the EU. The mobile capture app works offline. Builddar is available in French, English, and Spanish.

Why architects choose Builddar

The architect carries decennial liability for 10 years after handover. During that period, every defect, every reserve, and every exchange with a subcontractor can become evidence in a dispute. Without a structured chain of evidence, it comes down to the firm's word against the contractor's.

Today, punch list tracking is scattered across emails, spreadsheets, photos on a phone, and WhatsApp messages sent at 9pm. The night before handover, the site manager re-enters everything by hand to rebuild the PV. That administrative load is invisible in the fee proposal but very real in the hours it consumes.

That scatter is replaced with one traceable thread. Every observation is captured once, on site, with its location, trade, photo, and deadline. The reception PV is no longer written the night before: it builds itself from the data already collected across the project.

The 6 pillars of Builddar

Six features cover the entire quality cycle, from the first OPR inspection to the signed reception PV. Each pillar has its own dedicated page. Here is what each one does.

How it works: from first OPR to signed PV

The process is linear and traceable, from project setup to handover. Each step is powered by a specific feature and produces a record kept for 10 years.

  1. 01

    1. Project setup (~20 minutes)

    You define the project's zones, phases, trades, and checklists. Your firm's template is in place in about 20 minutes through Customizable Workflows & Checklists. Your method runs as-is, with no generic process imposed.

  2. 02

    2. First OPR inspection on mobile

    You walk the site and log each issue in seconds from the mobile app: photo, location, trade, and deadline. Capture works offline, then syncs as soon as the network returns. This is the Issue Tracking & Punch List pillar.

  3. 03

    3. Automatic assignment to subcontractors

    Each issue is assigned automatically to the responsible trade and contractor, by email. The subcontractor receives the photo, location, and deadline with no re-entry on your side. Subcontractors use Builddar for free.

  4. 04

    4. Automatic reminders until resolution

    When a deadline approaches or passes, the automatic reminder system follows up with the subcontractor by email and SMS. Escalation rules trigger when responses don't come. You no longer chase issues: Builddar does it for you.

  5. 05

    5. Interim reports for the developer

    At any point, you generate a PDF site report with your firm's branding in minutes, from live project data. The report is always current; you never re-enter a number. Delivery can be scheduled.

  6. 06

    6. Handover preparation

    As reception approaches, the full checklist shows the status of every issue in real time. You see immediately what is resolved, what remains open, and what blocks handover. Plans, DOEs, and DIUOs sit in Document Management (DMS), linked to the zones they reference.

  7. 07

    7. Reception PV generated from your data

    The reception PV is generated from the observations already captured across the project. It lists the remaining issues, embeds the photo evidence, and is then signed and archived. The PV and its full chain of evidence stay defensible for the 10 years of decennial liability.
