Daily Reports
Structured daily field logs capturing everything that happens on site — weather, manpower, equipment, work performed, delays, safety, and photos. Submit, review, and approve in one workflow.
Close out the day, properly
Every section a superintendent needs — structured, auditable, and ready for the PM.
The whole day in one structured form
Eight sections take a superintendent from weather to safety in a single pass. Weather auto-populates from the API based on project location — override it if site conditions differ, and the source is recorded either way.
- Temperature, conditions, wind, humidity, and precipitation fetched automatically
- Manual override when the site doesn't match the forecast
- Visitors, safety observations, and notes captured in the same form
- Structured, auditable, and searchable from day one
Manpower and equipment, crew by crew
One row per trade or subcontractor — company, trade, headcount, hours. Equipment gets the same treatment: type, description, hours used, hours idle, and status. The result is a full daily utilization record without a spreadsheet.
- Multiple crew entries for different trades on the same day
- Equipment status tracked as Active, Idle, or Breakdown
- Hours worked and hours idle logged per machine
- Daily utilization history builds itself across the project
Work performed and delays, traced to the WBS
Describe the work per area with optional WBS linking and percent complete to feed progress reports. Delays are categorized — Weather, Material, Labor, Equipment, Design — with duration, responsible party, and the WBS items they hit.
- Free-text work log per area with optional WBS links
- Percent complete per activity feeds progress reporting
- Delay causes categorized with duration and responsible party
- Cumulative delay impact tracked automatically across the project
Site photos that end up in client reports
Attach photos with captions, location notes, and section tags — Work, Safety, Delay, General. Photos from approved logs flow straight into the Client Reports photo curation step, so nothing gets re-uploaded.
- Section tags make any photo findable in seconds
- Captions and location notes attach at capture time
- Approved-log photos are available for Client Report curation
- No camera-roll archaeology at report time
More in the Daily Reports module
The supporting register — everything else the module carries, on the record.
- Multi-shift logs
- Day, Night, and Swing shifts each get their own log with their own manpower, equipment, and work entries.
- Submit → review → approve
- Logs move from Draft to Submitted; the PM verifies entries and approves or returns them.
- Return with a note
- A returned log goes back to Draft with a visible return note so the submitter knows exactly what to fix.
- Weather source recorded
- Every weather field records whether it came from the API, manual entry, or an API override.
- Feeds Client Reports
- Approved logs compile directly into client deliverables — the PM curates, the system assembles.
Every view of the daily log
From end-of-day capture to PM approval — the working views.
The end-of-day form: weather, manpower, equipment, work, delays, and photos in eight sections.
How it works
Three steps from field data to approved record.
Fill in the daily log
At end of day, open the Daily Log form. Weather is auto-populated. Fill in manpower counts, equipment used, work performed, delays, visitors, safety observations, and attach site photos.
Why switch from paper daily logs?
Paper-based daily reports are the industry default. Here's what breaks and what changes.
The old way
- Paper forms filled by hand, then photographed or transcribed into a spreadsheet the next day. Errors and missing data are common.
- Weather recorded from memory or guesswork — no objective record of actual site conditions.
- Delays noted informally with no categorization, no linked tasks, and no cumulative tracking across the project.
- Site photos live in camera rolls. Finding the right photo for last Tuesday's concrete pour means scrolling through hundreds of images.
- PM compiles weekly updates manually by reading through a stack of paper logs and re-typing summaries.
With Construction Hub
- Digital form on any device. Data captured once, structured, searchable, and audit-ready from day one.
- Weather auto-fetched from API based on project location. Override if conditions differ — source is always recorded.
- Delays categorized by cause (weather, material, labor, etc.) with duration, responsible party, and linked WBS items. Cumulative impact calculated automatically.
- Photos tagged by section (Work, Safety, Delay) with captions and location notes. Find any photo in seconds.
- Approved daily logs feed directly into Client Reports. The PM curates — the system compiles.
Built for the field
The daily log form is designed for superintendents and foremen filling it out at end of day on their phones. Every section works on small screens.
- Mobile-optimized form with inline camera capture per section
- Submit and track approval status from the field
- Same form works on phones, tablets, and desktop
