Introduction

The Project Diary module is designed to keep a project diary electronically in compliance with applicable legislation in the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic. The Buildary.online application (hereinafter referred to as Buildary) is operated in Microsoft's Azure cloud. Data is protected against unauthorized access, loss, or misuse, and it is guaranteed that it will not leave the territory of the European Union. Thanks to it being cloud-based, information from the construction diary is available to authorized persons at any time and from anywhere with an internet connection.

In accordance with the legislation applicable at the time, questions related to keeping a construction diary in electronic form were carefully discussed with our partner legal advisors as early as 2017. Their legal opinions became the basis for addressing the issue of construction diaries in the Buildary application. Today's legislation is not only more favorable toward keeping construction diaries in electronic form, but in some cases directly requires them to be maintained electronically.
