Knowledge
Recording site meeting minutes: from conversation to task list
What is discussed on the construction site later decides Nachträge and disputes. Brief minutes with decisions and tasks create clarity.
What belongs in the minutes
- Date, participants and topic
- Decisions made
- Tasks with owners and deadlines
- Open points
Recording instead of note-taking
Record the meeting or upload an audio or video file. Important: a recording is only permissible if all participants agree – the privately spoken word is protected by § 201 StGB. BauWalker therefore requires your confirmation before recording.
The finished minutes
From this come a summary, the decisions, and tasks with owners and deadlines. The minutes stay with the project; in the chat you can later ask what was agreed.
Practical tip
Read the decisions aloud at the end of the meeting and send the minutes to all participants the same day.
How it works in BauWalker
The conversation becomes a task list that stays in the project.
