YakBuildYakBuildHQ vs Procore
How YakBuildHQ compares to Procore for daily reports, field documentation, and a paper trail that holds up.
Procore is the enterprise construction-management platform: preconstruction, BIM, financials, and project management for large general contractors, priced by annual construction volume.
Where YakBuildHQ is different
GPS & weather, automatic
Every field note is stamped with the time, GPS location, and on-site weather — no extra taps. The detail that settles disputes months later.
Voice notes, transcribed
Dictate on the tailgate; the transcript lands in the record automatically. Typing on a jobsite is optional.
Works offline
No signal in the basement? Notes queue on the phone and sync the moment you're back online. Nothing is lost.
Public, flat pricing
$49, $149, or $399 a month, published right here — no per-user metering, no "talk to sales" to learn the price.
Free forever plan
Solo field documentation is free for good — and every signup starts with a 30-day full trial, no credit card.
Signed & locked reports
Submit → approve workflow locks each daily report once signed, with the reviewer and time recorded — defensible documentation that renders to PDF.

(We aim to be the field layer, not a Procore replacement.) We'd rather you pick the right tool than the loudest one.
