Construction site diary guides

A site diary is the daily record that protects the programme and the payment when a job is disputed months later. The strongest diaries are written for the actual work in front of you, capturing the things that cause arguments on that phase. These guides set out what a defensible daily record should capture for each type of work, with a worked example and how to log it from your phone without losing an hour to paperwork.

Labour, plant, progress by plot, inspections and delays across the whole build.

Site Diary for Roofing

Site Diary for a House Extension
