Daily report habits that pay off
- 1Write it the same day. Details fade fast, and a report written later carries less weight.
- 2Be specific. Area, floor and room; quantities installed; names of inspectors and visitors.
- 3Record what stopped you. Late deliveries, areas not ready, work by other trades, owner changes.
- 4Add photos. Before cover-up, damage by others, and conditions behind extra work.
- 5Connect it to money. Reference daily reports in your change orders and pay applications.
Frequently asked questions
Why do subcontractors need daily reports?
Daily reports are your record of what happened on site. They back up change orders and time extensions, prove when delays and extra work occurred, and support your pay applications if quantities are questioned.
What should a daily report include?
Date, weather, crew and hours, work performed and where, deliveries, equipment, delays or issues (including work by others that affected you), visitors and inspections, safety, and photos where possible.
How do daily reports help with change orders?
When extra work or a delay happens, a same-day written record with crew, hours and photos is the strongest backup you can attach to a change order or time-extension request.
Can my crew do this on a phone?
Yes. Sub-Office includes daily logs, photos and crew hours in its mobile app, so reports are filled in on site and saved to the project. Try it free for 30 days.
