The Problem

Without Documentation, You're Exposed

Pool builders bury their most critical work in a single morning. Here's what's at stake.

Everything Critical Gets Buried

Steel schedule, plumbing runs, bonding grid, pressure tests: the entire structure of a pool disappears under gunite in one morning. When a shell cracks or a line leaks years later, the pre-gunite photos are the only evidence your work met spec.

Backyard Access Damage Claims

Pool construction means heavy equipment through side yards, past fences, over driveways and septic lines. Old cracks and existing damage become your fault the moment the homeowner notices them. No pre-construction photos, no defense.

Stage Inspections & Schedule Stalls

Pools live and die by stage inspections: steel, bonding, plumbing, pre-plaster. A failed inspection or a lost record stalls the whole build while the homeowner watches a hole in their yard. Scattered documentation makes every stage slower.

How It Works

Three simple steps to organized, professional documentation.

Document Access & Existing Conditions

Capture the yard, fences, driveway, and neighboring property before excavation. Every photo automatically timestamped and geotagged.

Record Every Stage

Photos organized by job and stage: layout, excavation, steel, plumbing, bonding, gunite, tile and coping, deck, plaster, startup. Each inspection stage documented before it's covered.

Report & Share

Generate professional PDF reports in minutes. Send stage updates to homeowners and records to inspectors straight from the backyard.

Built for Pool & Outdoor Construction

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

Timestamped Stage Photos

Every photo captures date, time, and GPS automatically: dated proof of the steel, plumbing, and bonding that gunite is about to hide for fifty years.

Pool Construction Stages

Organize photos by phase: pre-construction, layout, excavation, steel, rough plumbing, bonding, gunite, tile and coping, decking, plaster, equipment set, startup.

Inspection & Homeowner Reports

Generate PDF reports for stage inspections and weekly homeowner updates. A documented build keeps inspectors satisfied and clients calm.

Automatic Cloud Backup

Every photo backed up automatically. Pool structures get questioned decades later — your pre-gunite records will still exist.

Share with Homeowners & Inspectors

Send stage reports to homeowners, inspectors, and subs via email or text link. Clients who see progress don't call asking about it.

Built for the Backyard Jobsite

Fully offline capable, fast capture between trades. Document a steel walk in minutes before the gunite crew arrives.

Pool shell rebar and plumbing documented before gunite

Pre-Gunite Steel & Plumbing Records

Photograph the shell before the gunite truck arrives: rebar size and spacing per the engineering, plumbing runs and stub locations, pressure test gauges holding, bonding grid connections. This single documentation habit covers the highest-stakes hour in pool construction — when a shell cracks or a return line leaks in year eight, your pre-gunite photos prove the structure and plumbing met spec the day they were buried.

Pool construction stage in progress before inspection

Stage Documentation & Inspections

Document each inspection stage as it completes: steel, bonding, rough plumbing, gas, pre-plaster. Photo records get re-inspections scheduled faster when something needs correcting, and they protect your schedule story when the county is the bottleneck. Homeowners watching a muddy hole for weeks stay patient when weekly photo updates show real progress.

Finished pool and outdoor living space at completion

Access Routes & Neighboring Property

Before the excavator rolls through the side yard, photograph everything in its path: the fence coming down, the driveway it crosses, the neighbor's wall, existing cracks in the patio. Pool builds run months in someone's backyard — claims about damaged property surface at the end, and your pre-construction photos sort real damage from pre-existing in minutes.

The gunite truck is coming. Document the steel first.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions pool & outdoor construction ask before getting started.

When is the most important time to document a pool build?

The hour before gunite. Steel, plumbing, pressure tests, and bonding all disappear at once and stay buried for the life of the pool. A 10-minute photo walk before the gunite crew shoots is the single highest-value documentation habit in this trade.

Can I send weekly progress updates to homeowners automatically?

You can generate and send a branded progress report in under 2 minutes — most builders send one every Friday. Clients who see steel, plumbing, and gunite happen stop calling for status, and the final walkthrough goes smoother because they've watched the build.

Do stage photos help with county inspections?

Yes. Documented stages mean you can show an inspector the bonding connections or pressure test before things were covered, and corrections are photographed for fast re-inspection. Some builders send the photo packet ahead so the inspection itself goes faster.

Do my crews and subs need training to use this?

No. Open the app, hit the camera button, photos tag to the right job automatically. Steel, plumbing, and gunite crews each document their stage without slowing down.

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

Camera roll photos aren't organized by job or stage, vanish with broken phones and crew changes, and can't prove dates when a structural claim lands in year ten. Fieldpost organizes everything automatically and generates professional reports in minutes.

Can I add my whole crew to one account?

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