How to fill it in
FAQ
It’s a record of who was on site, what got done and what slowed the job. It helps with billing, scheduling and any later question about delays or changes.
Usually the lead carpenter, foreman or project manager: whoever is on site all day and knows what happened.
Keep them with the project file. How long depends on your warranty term, your insurer and your attorney’s advice.
A construction daily report is a short record of one day on site: the weather, who worked and for how long, subs and deliveries, work completed, inspections, problems and photos. Contractors also call it a daily log or a daily field report. Kept every day, it backs up billing, schedule changes and any later question about delays. ECHOPS keeps client updates with photos and the job’s files on each project.
Fill it in the same day, before you leave the site. Write what got done by area or trade, compare it with the plan, and note anything that slowed the job and why. Add crew hours, deliveries, inspections and photos, then sign and file it. Pair it with a construction schedule template so progress is measured against dates everyone agreed to.
The preview at the top of this page shows the layout: project and date, weather checkboxes, a crew table with name, role and hours, then work completed and issues. A useful entry reads like “Tile delivery arrived four boxes short; tiled two of three shower walls; inspector passed rough plumbing.” Facts with names, numbers and times are what make a daily report useful later.
