Won a delay claim with 14 days of auto-logged weather data
A six-person groundwork crew used SiteClick's auto-weather site diary to evidence rain days on a housing estate — and got paid for the standing time.
The challenge
Mike's crew were held up on a Midlands housing estate by two weeks of unseasonal rain. The main contractor pushed back on the standing-time claim: 'prove it.' The site diary was scribbled in a damp Rite in the Rain notebook.
What they did
The team had already been logging daily reports in SiteClick — weather auto-fetched from GPS at 07:30 each morning. Mike exported the 14-day site-diary PDF straight from the app and forwarded it with the claim.
Results
- £4,200 standing-time claim approved on the first attempt
- 14 consecutive days of GPS-verified weather + crew logs
- Zero admin overhead — reports already existed from daily use
- Now used for every job as standard project handover doc
“The site diary and weather auto-log has already saved us on one delay claim. Well worth £33 a month for the whole team.”
