Spring Storms Cost You
Weeks of Schedule Every Year
The Challenge
Weather delays are documented after the fact
The rain stops, the crew goes back to work, and nobody writes down when the delay started, when it ended, or which activities were impacted. You try to reconstruct it weeks later for the time extension request.
Partial-day delays are never captured
It rains from 6 AM to 10 AM. You lose 4 hours but work the rest of the day. That partial delay disappears from the record because it does not feel like a full rain day.
No link between weather and schedule impact
Your time extension request says you lost 11 rain days. The owner asks which specific activities were delayed and by how much. Paper records cannot answer that question.
Tornado and severe weather response is undocumented
Severe weather warnings require site evacuation. But who documented the warning, the evacuation time, the all-clear, and the site inspection before re-entry? Usually nobody.
The POD Advantage
Real-time weather event logging
When weather shuts down work, a 30-second voice report captures the start time, conditions, and affected activities. POD pulls actual weather data to corroborate your record.
Partial-day delay tracking
POD tracks exact start and stop times for weather interruptions. Four hours of morning rain plus two hours of afternoon storms equals six hours documented, not zero.
Schedule impact linking
Each weather delay is linked to specific scheduled activities. Your time extension request shows exactly which activities were impacted and the cumulative schedule effect.
Severe weather response documentation
Severe weather alerts trigger a documentation workflow. Warning received, evacuation ordered, all-clear issued, site inspected. Every step time-stamped and recorded.
Built for Storm Season
“We lost 11 days to rain in April and the owner denied every time extension because we had no contemporaneous documentation. POD would have captured each delay in real time with weather data attached.”
