Digital Site Diary

📝

Replace paper site diaries forever. Log progress, delays, incidents, weather conditions and site observations with photos, GPS tags and voice-to-text dictation, all from your phone. Every entry is timestamped, audit-ready and impossible to lose.

The Problem

Paper site diaries are a liability. They get lost, damaged by rain, filled in from memory at the end of a long day, and they are nearly impossible to search when a dispute arises six months later. Most digital alternatives are clunky desktop tools designed for offices, not muddy boots and hard hats. Construction leaders need a diary that works where they work: on site, offline, and fast enough to use between tasks.

How It Works

Quick-Entry Logging

Tap, type or dictate. FORGE Command lets you create diary entries in seconds. Select the entry type (progress, delay, incident, weather, visitor, or general note), add your description, and it is logged with an automatic timestamp. No fiddling with forms or navigating through menus.

Photo & GPS Tagging

Attach photos directly from your camera with automatic GPS coordinates embedded. When someone asks where exactly that cracked lintel was spotted, you have photographic evidence pinned to the precise location on site. Every image is date-stamped and linked to the diary entry.

Voice-to-Text Dictation

Wearing gloves? Hands full? Just speak. FORGE Command converts your voice into text so you can log entries without touching the screen. Dictate a progress update while walking the site and review it later before saving.

Searchable History & Export

Every entry is fully searchable by date, type, keyword or location. Need to find every delay logged in March? Two taps. Need to export the full diary for a client meeting or adjudication? Generate a professional PDF report in seconds.

📷
Photo Evidence

Every photo is GPS-tagged and timestamped. Build an unimpeachable visual record of your site, day by day.

🎤
Voice Dictation

Speak your diary entries hands-free. Perfect for logging observations while walking the site or during inspections.

🔒
Audit-Ready Records

Every entry is immutably timestamped. Your diary stands up in disputes, adjudications and compliance audits.

📶
Works Offline

Log entries with no signal at all. Everything syncs automatically when connectivity returns. Zero data loss.

Who Benefits Most

Site Managers use the Digital Site Diary as their primary daily record, the backbone of every handover, progress report and contractual record. Foremen and Supervisors log trade progress and snag lists as they walk the site. Contracts Managers rely on the searchable history to resolve disputes and prepare documentation.

Use it alongside the Site Intelligence Dashboard for a complete picture of your site, or feed diary entries into the Audit & Inspection Engine for compliance tracking.

The Digital Site Diary is built offline-first. Log entries in basements, tunnels and rural sites with no mobile signal. Everything syncs the moment you reconnect. FORGE Command is a one-time £39.99 purchase with no subscriptions. Your diary is yours to keep, forever.
