What you'll learn
How to pull your Delay Forecast, Progress Overview, and Schedule Status exports directly from Buildots to build your OAC meeting package, instead of manually compiling slides from subcontractor reports.
Why this matters
Building an OAC package usually means pulling subcontractor reports, updating graphs from last month's version, and tracking down which design or owner RFIs are still open and blocking which trades. That process can take a couple of days, and by the time you present, the data is already a week or more old.
There's also a gap between what happened on site and what shows up in the report. Subcontractor updates get filtered through a coordination meeting, which gets filtered through what a foreman remembered to report. If the Owner asks a specific question about a delay, you're often checking before you can answer.
Buildots exports give you current, consistent data you can build the package from directly, including documented evidence for delays that were caused by the owner or design team rather than your trades.
Step-by-step
Step 1: Open Delay Forecast
Navigate to Analyze → Delay Forecast to see all at-risk activities.
Step 2: Find the activity using Filters
Use Filters to narrow the list down to the activity you'll cover in the OAC meeting.
Step 3: Or find the activity by scrolling
If it's easier, scroll the Delay Forecast list directly and locate the activity that way.
Step 4: Open the activity's pace analysis
Click into the activity to see its Average, Recent, Required, and Planned pace.
Step 5: Review Required Pace
Check the pace needed to finish on schedule, and how it compares to current progress.
Step 6: Review the trend
Click See Trend to view the projected end date based on current pace.
Step 7: Export the pace analysis
Click Export to generate a PDF you can include in the OAC package.
Step 8: Add a note for context
Optionally, type a short note to include with the export. This is useful for giving the Owner context on the activity.
Step 9: Download the export
Click Export again to download the Delay Forecast PDF.
Step 10: Open Progress Overview for the same activity
Pivot to Progress Overview, filtered to the activity you just reviewed.
Step 11: Show due dates or view planned progress
Select on Actual / Planned or Due Dates to get additional insights per location.
Step 12: Export the progress view
Click Export to include this view in the OAC package.
Step 13: Choose your export format
Select the format you need: Excel, Floor Plans PDF, or P6.
Pro tip
Use Delay Forecast to document delays caused by the owner or design team, with a projected schedule impact attached, rather than raising them as a general concern in the meeting. Bringing a specific activity and a specific projected delay turns a conversation that could feel like an accusation into one backed by data.
