Construction software that doesn't cost more than a ute.
LARD is a construction site diary app built for Australian tradies, foremen, subbies, and site managers. You open it, tap the mic, say what happened, and move on. It logs the entry with a timestamp. Snap a photo and it attaches to the right record. At knockoff, one tap generates the PDF. Works offline, no signal needed. No Procore price tag. No training day. No IT department. Free to try, no credit card.
What LARD does
- Voice logging: 15-second entries, speak naturally, LARD structures it
- Photo evidence: attach photos to log entries, timestamped and geotagged
- PDF reports: automatic daily report generation, one tap at knockoff
- Offline-first: no signal required, works underground and on remote sites
- Timestamped entries: every event logged with the exact time, not guessed from memory
Who uses LARD
LARD is built for the people doing the work on site, not the people managing the project from the office.
How foremen log site reports in 15 seconds by voice log events between coordinating trades. A concrete pour that went wrong. A subbie who didn't show. LARD catches it in 15 seconds between trades. The report writes itself at the end of the day, so you don't have to reconstruct anything from memory.
How subbies protect themselves before a dispute starts use it to build their own record, independent of whatever the head contractor is logging.
How site managers cut 45-minute reports to a background task cover their liability with contemporaneous daily reports. When something gets disputed, the diary is the first document that gets pulled.
What LARD replaces
The paper site diary that gets filled in from memory at 4pm. The spreadsheet that nobody updates. The WhatsApp group chat that is somehow supposed to count as a record. The end-of-day scramble to remember who was on site, what actually arrived, and when that near-miss happened.
But none of those hold up when something gets disputed. LARD captures it as it happens. The record exists the moment you log it.
Australian-built. Field-tested.
LARD is built in Australia, for Australian construction. Not another Silicon Valley import with US spelling, US compliance assumptions, and a US support team asleep when your site is running.
AU spelling throughout. Built with Australian WHS requirements in mind. And if something goes wrong, support from people who are actually awake when your site is running.
