You walked the site at 10am. Why are you still formatting photos into a document at 9pm? BuildCycle builds the report while you walk.
Day one BuildCycle was built by a practicing architect who was done losing evenings to Word. Field reports aren’t a feature we added — they’re the reason it exists.
Everything you capture in the field lands in the record, already organized.
See an issue? Drop a marker on the drawing where it is. The observation carries its location forever — in the report, in the record, in the closeout. No more “see photo 14, somewhere on level 2.”
Shoot from your phone or tablet; photos attach to the observation and the marker it lives on. The full photo archive stays organized by project, searchable long after the job closes.
Weather attaches automatically. Who was observed on site and who attended is captured as a permanent snapshot — the legal record stays true even when people change firms later.
Back at the truck: review, hit generate, and a clean formatted PDF goes to the distribution list — owner, GC, consultants, CC’d as needed. The 9pm Word session is now a two-minute review.
Items tracked from open to verified — not a Word table that dies in an inbox. And when the job ends, the whole record — reports, photos, punch history — exports as one zip. It leaves with you.
ArchiSnapper, Raken, and the report apps do one thing. The problem: your projects don’t.
