Buildertrend is utilized for our customer’s convenience: we all live incredibly busy, nuanced, rat-race lives that require us to live on the go. Buildertrend is the perfect tool for the job.
Daily Logs
Daily logs allow for a brief, precursory overview of the project, including who is on-site and what work is being completed.
For example, many daily logs might look like as follows:
- Crew Members On-site: Moe, Curly, and Larry
- Work Performed: Crew began install of helicals or push piers
- Pictures Uploaded?: Y/N
- Number of Piers installed (if applicable): 7-8
- Average Depth of Install (if applicable): 15’-18’
- % of Work Completed: 30%
- And other list items of similar nature/scope depending on the project…
Photos
Photos are also logged away in Buildertrend including our inspection photos which document the various signs and symptoms of your foundation failure:
These photos can be referenced after your home is lifted to maximum practical recovery so you can see how your cracks, crooked doorframes, and sloped floors have improved.
Photos are also taken of the daily progress of your foundation repair project so that you can see how much progress has been made.
The photos are especially helpful if you are unable to be on site. For example, several of our clients with vacation homes in Big Bear are unable to be physically present for the lift and stabilization process.
Photos allow for a quick and easy progress check and are fun to show family and friends.
Weather
Buildertrend also covers:
- The temperature high/low
- Cloud coverage
- Mph of wind
- Humidity level
- Level of precipitation
Again, this is helpful for when you are not directly on-site and you’re curious about the working conditions, especially if there is a weather delay.
Documents
Typically copies of your permitting and engineering plans are stored here for future reference.
Messages
This feature is so you can leave the crew messages and vice versa.

In short, Buildertrend is a wonderful interface that allows for quick communication, daily progress check-ins, and ultimately allows peace of mind.
