Delay Notices Written
3 Weeks After the Fact
The Challenge
Notices written weeks after events
Your contract requires delay notices within 7 days. Your team writes them 3 weeks later when the PM finally has time. By then the contractual deadline has passed.
No contemporaneous records
The delay notice references events from 3 weeks ago. The daily report from that day says sunny, 45 workers, normal operations. There is nothing linking the event to the impact.
67% of claims denied for late notice
Most construction contracts have strict notice provisions. Fail to notify within the window and you waive the right to claim regardless of merit.
Impact quantification is guesswork
How many crew hours were lost? Which activities were impacted? What was the critical path effect? Without daily data, impact analysis is opinion not fact.
The POD Solution Path
Voice-capture delay events
Rain started at 10 AM, concrete crew sent home, 47 manhours lost. Speak the delay event and POD documents it with timestamp and impact data.
Auto-generated delay notices
POD drafts the formal delay notice from your voice report, linking it to the daily report, weather data, and affected activities. Send it within hours.
Impact quantification
POD calculates lost manhours, affected activities, and schedule impact from daily data. Your delay claim has quantified damages, not estimates.
Claims support package
Export a complete delay claim package: daily reports, weather data, manpower records, schedule analysis, and contemporaneous documentation.
