Existing report format
A project or company .docx template provides the reference structure for the report.
Narrative reporting / Live product
Construction Narrative Report helps office and project teams organize selected project information into a structured narrative report that follows an established format. The final review stays with the construction professional.
Start with the live narrative workflow Eligible teams can begin through the COI Build client access flow.The reporting problem
Progress reports often draw from a mix of Word documents, spreadsheets, PDF tables, images, and a reporting template that has evolved with the project. Rebuilding that structure each reporting cycle takes time and makes consistency harder to protect.
COI Build helps assemble the applicable material into the familiar report structure so reviewers can spend more time checking the substance of the report.

What the team receives

Human review
Construction professionals remain responsible for source selection, factual accuracy, project interpretation, and final report approval. COI Build assists with report assembly; it does not replace professional judgment.
Who it is for
Built for project engineers, project managers, office reporting teams, and construction professionals responsible for recurring narrative reports.
