BuildCast

Weather decisions for the job site. Lot by lot.

Construction-grade insight, weather-aware.

I · What it is

A verdict for each lot, for each trade.

BuildCast turns federal weather model output into a go, caution or no-go call for the work scheduled at each of your lots. A weather app tells you the chance of rain in town. BuildCast tells a foreman whether Friday works for the slab pour at one specific lot, and why. The forecast is read at the lot’s own latitude and longitude, not a zip code.

II · The four verdicts

How BuildCast decides go or no-go.

Go · ClearAll thresholds met. Crews dispatch as scheduled.
Caution · AdjustMargin of safety. Modify timing, sequence or staffing.
No-go · HoldOne or more hard limits exceeded. Stand down.
Severe · Secure siteLightning, storm or extreme wind. Lock down.

III · Trade by trade

Slab pours fail at different rain than paint does.

Foundation, framing, dry-in, drywall, exterior paint, flooring and sod are each scored against their own thresholds: rain, dewpoint, wind, soil moisture, surface temperature and lightning. The same hour can be a go for one trade and a no-go for another at the same lot.

Per-lot forecastingActive job sites are tracked at their actual latitude and longitude, not interpolated from regional weather stations.

Forward windowHourly short-range updates for the next 18 hours and a 10-day outlook beyond, with a smooth handoff between the two. Ten-day window.

RecomputeEvery hourly update, every severe weather warning issued for your county and every lightning strike inside a lot geofence triggers a re-score of the affected lots. Recomputed hourly.

Change noticesVerdict-flip alerts: when a lot’s verdict changes, for example a slab pour going from go to no-go, the foreman, super and trade partner are paged before the next dashboard refresh.

ReceiptsEach response can be cryptographically signed and Merkle-rooted to its source data, so a weather-day or change-order dispute can be traced to the model run that produced the call.
