“We had a \$5.2M delay claim supported by 18 months of daily reports. Our claims consultant said the reports were too vague to substantiate the analysis. We settled for \$1.1M — leaving \$4.1M on the table because our superintendent\\\'s daily reports said "rain delay" instead of documenting the actual impact.”

— Claims Manager, ENR Top 100 Contractor

The Challenge

Before POD

×

Your delay claim dies in the first round because daily reports lack impact data

Delay claims require contemporaneous documentation of the delay cause, impacted activities, additional costs incurred, and mitigation efforts for every affected day. Your daily report says "rain delay" — the claims consultant needs hourly weather data, specific activities impacted, crew standby costs, and documented efforts to mitigate.

×

Schedule analysts can\'t tie daily reports to CPM activities

Your delay expert builds a Time Impact Analysis showing a 45-day critical path delay. They ask for daily reports to substantiate the analysis. Your reports reference "working on foundations" but never identify CPM activity IDs, predecessor constraints, or schedule relationships.

×

Labor and equipment costs for impacted days are unrecoverable

A differing site condition adds 30 days to excavation. You want to claim $450K in additional labor and equipment costs. But your daily reports for those 30 days don\'t break down crew sizes by trade, don\'t log equipment hours, and don\'t track additional costs incurred.

×

The owner\'s expert compares your daily reports to your schedule — and finds contradictions

Your schedule shows Activity 2340 starting on March 1. Your daily report for March 1 doesn\'t mention Activity 2340. The owner\'s delay expert calls this an inconsistency and uses it to discredit your entire claim narrative.

With POD Templates

Delay impact fields captured contemporaneously every day

POD\'s templates include impact documentation fields: delay cause, affected activities (by CPM ID), additional costs incurred, mitigation measures taken, and expected duration impact. This data is captured daily as it happens — not reconstructed months later for a claim.

Contemporaneous impact records

Daily reports linked to CPM schedule activities

POD maps daily reported work to schedule activity IDs. When your delay expert asks "what happened on Activity 2340 during the impacted period?" POD produces daily records tagged to that exact activity — not generic narrative about "foundation work."

Schedule-linked records

Labor and equipment cost tracking at the daily level

Every POD report captures crew count by trade with hours, equipment on site with operating hours, and material quantities installed. For the impacted period, you have day-by-day cost documentation that supports every dollar in your claim.

Day-level cost evidence

Schedule-to-report consistency verified automatically

POD cross-references daily reported activities against the current schedule update. Inconsistencies are flagged and resolved before they become ammunition for the opposing expert. Your records tell one consistent story.

Zero contradictions
