Construction warranty tracker
Job registerThe warranties handed over on one job, the dates written on them, and every call made against each.
A binder nobody can search
Warranties are handed over as a stack of certificates and go into a binder that is opened once, in a hurry, eighteen months later. What is needed then is four facts: what it covers, who gave it, what dates are on it, and who to call. Those four, per item, on one list.
It decides no coverage
No stage here means covered or not covered, and nothing reads a warranty document. The provider decides what their own warranty answers for. What the tool keeps is what the paperwork says — copied by you — and what happened when you rang.
Around it
Handing the job over is the closeout checklist. Warranties on registered equipment in a building you operate are the equipment warranty tracker, and a call that turns into work is a work order.
A register of what warranty documents say and what happened when you called. It reads no warranty, decides no coverage, calculates no term, and makes no claim on anybody's behalf. Everything runs on your device.
Questions people ask
- Does it tell me whether something is covered?
- No. Whether a particular failure is answered for, by whom, and on what terms is the provider's decision under their own document. The tool holds what the paperwork says, copied by you, and what happened when you called.
- Are the dates calculated?
- They are typed. The start and end dates are the ones written on the certificate as you read them; nothing here derives a term from a completion date, and nothing decides when a warranty period began.
- How is this different from the equipment warranty tracker?
- Subject. The equipment warranty tracker is kept against a registered machine in a building you operate, and answers “is this repair covered before I authorize it”. This is kept against a job, and answers “what did we hand over, and who do we call”. The same product can appear in both, held by two different people for two different reasons.
- Why log the calls?
- Because the second call is the one that matters and nobody remembers the first. Who you told, when, who came and what they did is the history that makes the third call short.
