What belongs in a daily log
A log that's missing the right lines is just a diary. These are the entries that settle arguments later — the template has a section for each.
Every trade, the count, and the hours — including the crew that didn't show. Headcounts are what delay claims are built from.
Say the area, name who did it, describe the condition. A note you can't place on the job is a note you can't use.
What stopped, who it stopped, and the day you were back. A week summarized after the fact gets picked apart.
Who directed it, and the crew, equipment and hours it took. Without a name, the record reads like your crew decided to spend the money.
Items called out and incidents. Writing "none" daily proves you were watching; a blank proves nothing.
A signed page made that day carries weight a reconstruction never will. That's the whole point of a daily log.
This page takes 15 minutes a night.
The app takes thirty seconds.
SiteLog AI is this template, automated: snap up to 5 photos, say what's happening, tap a type — the log writes itself, files itself, and builds the daily report automatically. Two years later, ask for any of it in plain English.
