Daily Report

In Plain English

A record filled out every day documenting who was on site, what work was done, and any problems that occurred.

Definition

A daily construction report is a field documentation form completed by the superintendent or project engineer each day to record weather conditions, workers present (by trade and count), equipment on site, work activities completed, deliveries received, inspections performed, and any notable events or issues. Daily reports create a contemporaneous project record that is critical for resolving disputes and supporting delay claims.

Example

The superintendent's daily reports documented 14 rain days and their impact on paving operations, supporting the contractor's weather delay claim.
