Our verdict

The AI diary write-up and weekly client summary are practical time savers for builders. Pricing isn't published, so expect a demo and a quote.

Best for: Residential and commercial builders who want site compliance and diaries in one app

What it does

BuildPass is a construction management platform for builders covering inductions, sign-ons, SWMS, site diaries, checklists, scheduling, drawings and defects, with optional preconstruction and finance modules (takeoff, estimating, subcontracts, progress claims). Its AI toolkit transcribes a dictated voice note or a photo of handwritten notes into the day's site diary, tidies the wording, and rolls a week of diaries into a client-ready report. There's also an AI agent and an MCP connection so you can use BuildPass from Claude and other AI tools. Plans are unlimited projects, subcontractors and workers.

AI features

  • Site diaries written from voice notes or scanned handwritten notes
  • One-click weekly client report from the week's diaries
  • BuildPass Agent and MCP access from Claude and other AI tools

Other site photos & progress reports tools

Buildertrend

Partly AU-friendly

Residential construction management: schedules, client portal, daily logs and photos.

Verdict: Strong client-portal features for home builders, but AU builders should compare it with Buildxact and local options first.

Price: See site. Custom quote based on annual construction volume.

CompanyCam

Partly AU-friendly

Job site photo app with AI reports, checklists, captions and summaries.

Verdict: The best dedicated site-photo app around. The AI reports save real time for client updates, but USD pricing adds up for bigger crews.

Price: Core from US$63/month, Crew from US$129/month (3 users, extra users US$29 each), Scale from US$199/month, as listed when we checked. Annual billing is cheaper than monthly. AI features are on Crew and above. Free trial.
