Construction site report software for architects
Branded PDF, Excel, and CSV site reports are generated from your live project data in minutes, so architects managing execution and reception report to developers without re-entering a single number.
Construction site report software is the system architects use to turn live inspection data into formatted, shareable reports. Builddar is the construction quality operating system, and its Advanced Reports generate professional PDF, Excel, and CSV documents with your firm's branding directly from the issues, réserves, and checklist results already logged on site. A complete report is produced in under 10 minutes, compared with 3 to 5 hours of manual assembly. Every report reflects the current state of the project, so a number is never re-entered by hand.
The problem this solves
Reporting is the tax architects pay for managing a site. The data already exists, scattered across a punch list spreadsheet, a phone full of photos, a notebook from the last walkthrough, and a chain of emails. Assembling it into a report the developer will accept takes 3 to 5 hours: copy a defect count here, paste a photo there, reformat the table, fix the page breaks, export to PDF. Do it weekly across four projects and a full day each month disappears into formatting.
The deeper cost is that a manual report is wrong the moment it is sent. A réserve is lifted an hour after export and the PDF still shows it open. The developer reads a number the architect has already corrected on site. The architect spends the next call defending a figure that was accurate only at the time of copy-paste, which erodes the trust the report was meant to build.
And the report rarely looks like the firm. A generic spreadsheet print or an unbranded export sits next to the architect's signature and decennial liability. For a maître d'œuvre whose reputation is the product, a report that does not carry the firm's name and identity is a missed signal at exactly the moment the client is judging the work.
How Advanced Reports work in Builddar
- 01
Set up your firm template once
Add your logo, colors, header, and footer, and choose which sections appear: defect summary, réserves by lot, photos, checklist results, OPR status, signatures. Template setup takes about 20 minutes and applies to every project from then on.
- 02
Capture data on site, not at your desk
Every réserve, observation, and checklist result is logged on the mobile capture app during the walkthrough, with photo, location, trade, and deadline. The report reads from this live data, so there is no second entry.
- 03
Generate the report in one action
Select the project, the period, and the format, then generate. A complete PDF, Excel, or CSV document is assembled from current data in under 10 minutes, fully formatted and branded.
- 04
Schedule delivery to developers and owners
Set a weekly or monthly schedule and Builddar emails the current report to the developer or maître d'ouvrage automatically. Each delivery reflects the live state of the project at send time.
- 05
Archive every version for the evidence chain
Each report is stored against the project with its date, so the full reporting history is available for 10 years of decennial liability and ready for any dispute.
What you get
Under 10 minutes per report
A full site report is generated in under 10 minutes instead of the 3 to 5 hours manual assembly takes. Across weekly reporting that returns roughly a day a month per architect.
Three formats from one source
Export the same data as PDF for the developer, Excel for the project review, or CSV for your own tracking. One source of truth, three deliverables, no reformatting.
Always current, never re-entered
Every report reads from live project data. A number is never copied by hand, so the figures the developer reads match the site exactly at the moment of sending.
Your firm's branding on every page
Logo, colors, header, and footer carry the firm's identity into the developer's inbox. The report looks like the firm, not like a generic export.
Scheduled delivery on autopilot
Weekly or monthly reports reach developers and owners automatically. The architect stops being the person who remembers to send the update.
A 10-year reporting archive
Every version is dated and stored against the project, giving a defensible record across the full decennial liability period.
For which projects and firms
Advanced Reports fit architects managing execution and reception on developer-commissioned work: résidentiel collectif, tertiaire, ERP, and réhabilitation. A solo architecte d'exécution reporting on one project uses the firm template to look like a larger practice; an OPC or maîtrise d'œuvre team reporting weekly across several lots saves the most formatting time. The architect tier is Builddar for one project at a time, at €49 to €79 per seat per month. The developer tier is Builddar for a portfolio, at €500 to €2,000 per project per month, and receives the scheduled reports across every project. Subcontractors are always free. Data is EU-hosted, and the interface and reports are available in French, English, and Spanish.
