The Problem

Without Documentation, You're Exposed

Public work means government paperwork, citizen claims, and audits. Here's what's at stake without records.

Agency Paperwork That Decides Payment

Public work runs on documentation: daily reports, quantities, traffic control compliance, inspector sign-offs. When the agency questions a pay estimate or a quantity, undocumented work is unpaid work — and disputes with a government client move at government speed.

Citizen Damage Claims

Work in public rights-of-way means hundreds of driveways, mailboxes, lawns, and parked cars along your projects. Residents file claims for damage your crew never touched — and without pre-construction photos along the route, the path of least resistance is paying them.

Compliance Exposure on Public Money

Prevailing wage reviews, DBE participation, environmental compliance, federal funding audits: public projects get audited years after closeout. Records scattered across crew phones and project trailers don't survive an audit — organized documentation does.

How It Works

Three simple steps to organized, professional documentation.

Document the Route First

Capture pre-construction conditions through the project limits: pavement, driveways, curbs, signs, landscaping. Every photo automatically timestamped and geotagged.

Build the Daily Record

Photos organized by project and date: work performed, quantities placed, traffic control, weather conditions, inspector interactions. The daily report writes itself.

Report & Share

Generate professional PDF reports in minutes. Send daily records to the agency inspector and claim responses to risk management.

Built for Municipal & Public Works Contractors

Every feature designed to save you time and protect your business.

Geotagged Project Photos

Every photo captures date, time, and GPS automatically — on a two-mile street project, the location stamp ties each photo to the exact station and address.

Public Works Categories

Organize photos by phase and type: pre-construction survey, daily work, traffic control, quantities, utility conflicts, punch list, restoration, final.

Agency-Ready Reports

Generate PDF reports formatted for daily records, pay estimate support, and claim responses. Documentation that satisfies inspectors and survives audits.

Automatic Cloud Backup

Every photo backed up automatically. Public project records need to survive to closeout plus the audit window — yours will.

Share with Inspectors & Risk Management

Send daily records to agency inspectors and photo evidence to risk managers and adjusters via email or text link, same day.

Built for the Right-of-Way

Fully offline capable, fast capture in traffic-controlled work zones. Document the day's work without leaving the cab unattended.

Public works crew progress documented for daily agency records

Daily Records for the Agency

Photograph each day's work: stations completed, quantities placed, traffic control per the approved plan, weather conditions, utility conflicts encountered. Dated photos backing your daily reports make pay estimates move faster and give you the evidence when a quantity or delay dispute surfaces months later. On public work, the contractor with the better records wins the argument.

Residential street conditions documented before public works construction

Citizen Claim Defense

Before construction, photograph the route: every driveway apron, curb section, mailbox, irrigation head, and parked-car zone through the project limits. When a resident claims your paver cracked their driveway, the dated pre-construction photo of the existing crack closes the claim in one email. Municipal contractors that survey routes stop writing goodwill checks — and their insurance modifiers show it.

Completed public infrastructure improvement at closeout

Closeout & Audit Files

Document completed improvements, restoration at every disturbed property, and punch list resolution. Public projects close slowly, and funding audits can arrive years later asking what was built, when, and to what standard. An organized photo record per project turns closeout review and audit response from a scramble into a lookup — and gets retention released on schedule.

On public work, the better record wins.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions municipal & public works contractors ask before getting started.

Will agency inspectors accept Fieldpost reports as daily records?

Yes. Reports are dated, geotagged, and organized by day and category — more rigorous than the paper dailies most agencies receive. Many contractors send the day's photo record to the inspector each evening, which builds exactly the relationship you want on a multi-year public project.

How does the citizen claim defense actually work?

Photograph the route before construction — a crew can document a mile of residential frontage in under an hour. Claims get matched against the pre-construction photo at that address. Most claims end with one email containing one dated photo.

Can the records support a funding or compliance audit years later?

Yes. Everything is organized by project, dated, and backed up in the cloud — not in a trailer that got demobilized or on a super's old phone. When the audit letter arrives, the project record is intact and searchable.

Does it work in work zones with no coverage?

Yes. Fieldpost works fully offline. Capture photos anywhere on the project, and everything syncs automatically when you're back in coverage.

How is this different from the camera roll on my phone?

Camera roll photos aren't organized by project or station, vanish with phones and personnel changes, and can't support a pay estimate or audit response without days of sorting. Fieldpost organizes everything automatically and generates agency-ready reports in minutes.

Can I add multiple crews and superintendents to one account?

Yes. Plans start at 3 users for $25/month, with additional users at $10/month. Every crew documents to the same projects in real time. No annual contracts.
