Daily log, Excel (.xlsx), seven sheets, in two versions. One row per site day, up to 150 days: date (the day of the week fills in), weather, high and low temperature, site conditions, own crew and hours, trade partners on site and their workers, work completed, deliveries, visitors and inspections, delay cause, days lost and details, safety and incidents, photo references, and a follow-up with owner, due date and status. Running totals at the top, and a check column that flags a duplicate date, a delay with no cause, a follow-up with no owner and more.

FAQ

Can I use it on a phone or tablet?

The workbook opens in Excel on a tablet and in the Excel app on a phone. On sites with no device, print the two-page report and type it into the log at the end of the day.

How are delays counted?

As the share of the working day lost: 0.5 for half a day, 1 for a full day. Each delay has a cause from a list of eight that you can rename on the Settings sheet.

Does it work with the schedule and change order kits?

It stands on its own. The delay days are the record behind a schedule update in the Construction Schedule (SCH-06) or a change order in the Change Order System (CO-05), and open follow-ups near the end of a job carry into the punch list in CLO-08.

Is it a legal record?

It is a record-keeping tool, not legal advice. Your contract and the rules where you build may set what records you must keep and for how long; confirm them with your own lawyer if you rely on the log in a claim or dispute.
