Definition
A daily project record covering work completed, labor, equipment, weather, delays, safety, visitors, instructions, and supporting evidence.
What it means on a project
The practical reading, without treating one region's contract language as universal.
A consistent DPR helps project teams explain what happened on site and why progress changed.
The strongest reports use the same structure every day and connect narrative updates to work areas, activities, issues, and photos.
Terminology, contractual effect, and regulatory requirements vary by jurisdiction and contract. Confirm the definition used on your project before relying on this glossary entry.
