How do I create a site report on site?

With the Buildhive mobile app, on iOS or Android. Open the project, go through your checklist and add a photo, note or marking per point. Finish the report and send it on the spot.

Can I finish my report on the computer too?

Yes. Create it on site with the app and complete it just as easily on your computer. The data stays the same.

Can I use my own template?

Yes, and far beyond a fixed format. Set up report types, sections and fields yourself, in your own house style with your logo and colours. Different templates for different project types work too.

Does the contractor need an account to read my report?

No. External parties get access to what's meant for them, without an account or installation.

How do I follow up action points from a report?

Every action point becomes a task in the project, assigned to the right person. One overview shows which points from which reports are still open.

Can I find and search old site reports?

Yes. You search centrally across all your reports. In a dispute about extra work or a mistake, you pull up the sequence of findings.

Can I switch from ArchiSnapper to Buildhive?

Yes. You bring your way of working along, your team is up to speed quickly, and you don't need to pause running projects.

Site reports

The site report is done before you drive off site.

Create your report on site on phone or tablet: photos, findings, markings and tasks in one go. And because it lives in your project, the agreements in it actually get followed up.

Case study

What site reports in Buildhive are

Site reports in Buildhive are digital reports you create during your site visit on smartphone or tablet, with photos, markings, findings and assigned tasks. The difference with a standalone report app: the report lives directly in your project. Every action point becomes a trackable task and every decision can be found later. You don't search in a report, you search in your project.

How it works today.

Photos on your phone, and a report in Word or Excel at night.

Everyone has their own template: no standard across the team.

Reports as loose PDFs: action points get lost.

How it works.

No more evening work

You create the report during the site visit, not back at the office. Photos, tasks and markings are added on the spot.

Photo straight in the right place

Take the photo in the app and it's attached to the right point. No transferring, no sorting.

Mark up with your finger

Arrow, box or text right on the photo or your plan. Nobody has to guess which wall you mean.

Finish and send on site

Close the report and send it to client, contractor or engineer before you're back in the car.

AI site reports

Quick notes on site, a complete report without writing it out

Take quick photos and short notes, just like today. Buildhive turns them into a complete, readable site report.

New

Work the way you work on site

Short notes, quick photos, no full sentences. Nobody waits while you type.

New

The project context does the work

Who's on the project and which photo was taken when: everything lands on the right report point.

New

Review instead of write up

Read through a finished report and refine it, instead of building it from scratch.

Every action point becomes trackable

A finding isn't a line of text that gets lost. It becomes a task with an owner, or a decision that stays with the project.

From finding to task

What you note on site becomes a task straight away, assigned to the right person.

Follow up without opening PDFs

One overview shows which points from which reports are still open.

Decisions stay with the project

What was agreed on site sits in the project history, not in someone's mailbox.

Your whole team delivers the same report

Build your report entirely around how your team works, in your own house style, and let everyone use the same template.

Entirely your own way

Set up report types, sections and fields yourself, with your own logo, colours and layout.

A different approach per project type

A renovation needs different findings than a new build. Your reports follow that.

New colleagues without a ramp-up

Whoever joins follows the template and delivers a report from day one that reads like the rest.

Find what was decided three months ago

You search in Buildhive, not in twenty loose reports.

Search across all reports

Search for a term, location or party and see which reports it appears in.

Next to plans and schedule

The report sits in the same place as the project's documents and schedule.

Complete history per project

A dispute about extra work or a mistake? You have the sequence of findings at hand.

Everything under control, without losing your evening.

A good site report protects you and keeps your project on track. Buildhive makes sure everything is recorded and trackable, in a fraction of the time.

"My people won't open a new app on site."

That's the fair fear with every site tool. That's why site mode is one continuous flow: arrive, go through the checklist, take photos, tick off points, send. Whoever receives the report, client, contractor or subcontractor, installs nothing and creates no account. The threshold sits with one person, not your whole chain.

On phone or tablet, no training

Recipients read without login

Your way of reporting stays, just faster
