How It Works

From site photo to signed report in three steps.

Superintendents shoot photos the way they already do. Ballast's system handles the paperwork.

01

Upload from the field

Crew leads snap and upload photos from any phone — no special hardware, no extra app training.

02

Auto-tag & organize

Photos are sorted by trade, location, and activity, and matched against the day's schedule and weather log.

03

Generate the journal

A formatted daily report is drafted automatically — ready for a super's review and one-tap distribution to the owner.

Daily Journal

Every stakeholder gets the same record.

No more chasing supers for updates or reconciling conflicting field notes at closeout.

FEATURE / 01

Photo-based logging

Upload photos on site; captions, trade tags, and locations are filled in automatically.

FEATURE / 02

Weather & crew capture

Conditions and headcount are pulled in daily so reports hold up during claims and disputes.

FEATURE / 03

Owner-ready export

Every journal exports to a clean PDF, branded for the project, ready to send at day's end.

FEATURE / 04

Searchable archive

Every photo and log entry is retrievable by date, trade, or location for the life of the project.

FEATURE / 05

Delay documentation

Time-stamped entries build a defensible record automatically, without extra admin work.

FEATURE / 06

Client portal access

Owners view journals in real time through a dedicated login, no email chains required.

"We stopped getting 'I'll send the photos tonight' texts. The journal is just... there, every morning, before I've had coffee."
