The reporting problem
Narrative reporting has to reconcile the project record.
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.
Information in
Start with the material that belongs in the report.
COI Build works from selected reporting inputs. Teams decide what is applicable to the reporting period and retain control of the project record.
Project tables and files
The current application accepts supported Excel spreadsheets and PDF tables for selected report content.
Supporting material
Teams can include supported images and manual report content when it belongs in the reporting record.
Workflow
How it fits into the reporting workflow
Set the report structure
Start from the approved Word template or a continuation of a prior report.
Select and map source material
Choose the applicable project tables, files, images, and manual content for the report sections.
Review before export
Use content and anchor previews to check the selected material and placement before generating the report.
What the team receives
The result is an editable Word report.
COI Build generates an editable Word document based on the selected template and report setup. It does not make the report final: the project team can revise wording, verify facts, and complete its normal issue process.
Human review
People remain accountable for the report.
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 around construction reporting work.
Built for project engineers, project managers, office reporting teams, and construction professionals responsible for recurring narrative reports.
About COI BuildExisting workflow
Keep the reporting format your team already uses.
The product is designed to work from an established .docx report format rather than requiring teams to abandon a familiar client or company template.
