Is weather documentation legally required on construction sites?

While there is no standalone law requiring weather documentation, it is a standard part of construction diary obligations (BGB §650n, VOB/B). Without weather records, contractors cannot prove weather-related delays or claim schedule extensions under VOB/B §6.

Can I use weather station data instead of on-site measurements?

Yes. Official weather station data from nearby locations is generally accepted as evidence. docubau automatically pulls data from the nearest meteorological station based on your project address, providing reliable and legally defensible records.
