How does Bildstak help commercial managers preparing claims?
Bildstak's Claims Builder helps commercial managers assemble EOT and variation claims by tracing cause to quantum across the RFI trail, programme and contract documents — producing a fully cited, structured claim package rather than a manual spreadsheet of evidence.
Commercial managers spend significant time hunting for the evidence that turns a delay event into a defensible claim. Bildstak automates that hunt.
Claims Builder — the core module for commercial work. Feed Bildstak a cause event and it traces the chain: the RFI that raised the issue, the programme activity it affected, the resulting slippage on the critical path, the contract clause that grants the entitlement, and the cost quantum drawn from the ERP. The output is a structured, cited claim package ready for PDF export.
RFI trail as evidence — because Bildstak holds the full RFI register from Procore and Aconex alongside the programme and the cost ledger, the evidence chain is already assembled. The commercial manager interrogates it rather than reconstructing it.
Contemporaneous records — Bildstak indexes correspondence, instructions and RFI responses as they happen. When a claim period arrives, the evidence base is current rather than retrospectively assembled.
Delay analysis — ask "what is the cost impact of open RFIs on the critical path?" and get a cross-source answer that joins the RFI register to the P6 schedule and the cost data — the kind of analysis that previously needed a programmer or a QS working for a week.
Specification and contract cross-reference — the specification tracker flags where a contract document supports an entitlement argument, or where a conflict between documents strengthens a variation position.
Portfolio benchmarking — understand how this project's claims exposure compares to past programmes in the portfolio, by value type and package, so the commercial strategy is informed by outturn data.
