When to use and what to include
Log daily project activity online, then generate a report PDF for the project team. Use it on each active workday to record work performed, the workforce and equipment present, weather and site conditions, deliveries, visitors, and events that may affect cost or schedule.
What to include
- Date, project name, report number, weather conditions at morning and afternoon including temperature and precipitation, and the name of the superintendent or foreman completing the report.
- Workforce log listing each trade on site, the subcontractor company name, headcount by trade, and hours worked, plus a note on any trades that were expected but did not show up.
- Work performed that day described by location and activity, such as poured footings at grid A1 through A5, set steel columns at grid B, and installed underground plumbing at the east wing.
- Deliveries received with material type, quantity, supplier, and where it was stored or staged, plus any equipment mobilized or demobilized from the site.
- Issues and delays documented: safety incidents, inspection results, weather delays, RFI hold-ups, material shortages, visitor log entries, and any verbal directions from the owner or architect that should be confirmed in writing.
Common questions

- Can I save this Construction Daily Report / Daily Log for continuous project tracking?
- Yes. With an account, save each day and maintain a complete project chronology for claims and coordination.
- Can I generate a distribution-ready PDF from this Construction Daily Report / Daily Log?
- Yes. Export a clear PDF for owners, PMs, and subcontractor communication.
- Who should fill out the daily report?
- The superintendent or site foreman fills it out at the end of each day. On projects with multiple primes, each general contractor completes their own report for their scope of work.
- What is the most important thing to document?
- Anything that differs from the plan. Delays, extra work, missing trades, owner-caused disruptions, and changed conditions are the entries that matter most if a claim arises later.
- Should I take photos every day?
- Take and retain photos when the contract, site policy, privacy rules, and work conditions permit. Label each image with date, location, subject, and report reference, and keep the written observation alongside it.
