How to fill it in
- At the start of the day, record the date, the weather and which crews arrived on site.
- Add one row per crew: trade, area, number of workers and hours worked.
- Describe the work each crew performed and the equipment it used.
- Record every delay or issue — missing materials, waiting for drawings, weather, inspections — with the hours lost.
- Note deliveries, visitors and inspections in the Notes column.
- At the end of the day, check the totals and send the report to the project manager; attach photos in the digital version.
Questions and answers
What should a construction daily report include?
Date and weather, crews and headcount by trade, hours worked, work performed by area, equipment on site, deliveries, delays with their cause and duration, safety incidents and visitors or inspections.
Who fills in the daily report?
Usually the site superintendent or foreman, at the end of each shift. In Log Sheet each crew leader can add their own row from a phone, and the superintendent reviews the day.
Can a construction daily report be kept digitally?
Yes. A digital daily report is easier to search and harder to dispute: every entry carries its author and time, photos are attached to the row, and weekly summaries build themselves. Download the Excel version to start, or fill it in live in Log Sheet.
