Your $1.8M Weather Delay Claim Was Denied. Day 23 Has No Documentation.
No rainfall amount, no wind speed, no list of impacted activities, no photos. Your daily report says “rain day — no work.” The adjuster needs 15 data points. You gave them 3 words. POD captures them all.
“We lost a $1.8M weather delay claim because Day 23 of a 30-day rain event had zero documentation — no rainfall data, no wind speed, no impacted activity list. The arbitrator said 7 properly documented days couldn't support the full 30-day claim. POD would have captured every day automatically.”

Before POD vs After POD
Undocumented Weather Delays
Weather: 'Rain'
No rainfall amount, no duration, no start/stop time
'No work today'
No list of which activities were impacted or why
No wind speed data
Wind speed affects crane operations, concrete pours, and roofing — but it's never recorded
No temperature records
Hot/cold extremes affect concrete curing, asphalt, and worker safety — but 'hot day' is all you get
No photos of site conditions
The adjuster wants photographic evidence of standing water, snow accumulation, or wind damage
No impacted activity schedule tie
Which critical path activities were delayed? By how long? No connection to the schedule
POD-Documented Weather Days
Rainfall: 1.2 inches, 6:00 AM - 2:30 PM

Automatic wind monitoring linked to equipment operation status
Temperature: High 98°F, concrete pours stopped per spec
Temperature monitoring with trade-specific impact thresholds
Site condition photos with timestamps and GPS
Photo evidence of standing water, soil saturation, or wind damage with metadata
Schedule analysis: 2.3 days critical path impact
Delay impact calculated and documented against the CPM schedule
