Who This Is For

Built for GCs, site superintendents, and project managers who need a documented record of every day on site.

If a client claims work was not done or a sub disputes their scope — the daily log is your proof.

What Professionals Say

★★★★★

Started using this on a $380K renovation job. When the client tried to dispute 3 weeks of flooring delays, I had 18 daily logs proving the tile was backordered. Saved me a $15K dispute.

— Kevin R., residential GC
★★★★★

My super fills this out every afternoon before leaving the site. Clean, professional, exactly what we needed without paying $400/month for software.

— Diana M., home builder
★★★★★

Downloaded and started using it the same day. Our bonding agent was impressed we had structured daily records.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need a daily construction log?
Daily logs document work performed, who was on site, weather conditions, and any delays or problems. They are your primary defense in payment disputes, change order disagreements, delay claims, and insurance investigations. Courts treat contemporaneous daily logs as strong evidence.
How long should I keep daily construction logs?
Keep daily logs for at least 10 years — the standard statute of limitations for construction defect claims in most states. Store digital copies in addition to paper.
What should I document in a construction daily log?
Date, weather, crew on site (with hours), work performed by area, materials delivered, equipment used, subcontractors present, visitors/inspectors, any delays with cause and duration, and a brief narrative of progress.
