To be successful in today’s highly-competitive construction market, a contractor needs to be able to logically and efficiently document jobsite activity. The devil is in the details – and, too often, it’s the details you can’t remember.

You can’t recall every time a delivery arrives late, subs were delayed, or a rain shower held up a concrete pour. There are so many events taking place on a jobsite that sometimes it’s hard to keep track of everything, especially when you’re busy working alongside your crew. A daily log can help you keep quick, written notes so that you can refer back to them later and determine what happened on a job, when it happened, and why. You can even use the information to evaluate your crew’s output for future jobs. A daily log is also important legal documentation in the event of an accident, as it can provide a record of how you responded.

In this unique daily log, you’ll find a place for the date, weather information, including the high and low temps, job information, the scheduled completion date – and if, or if not, the project is on schedule. If the job is behind schedule, there’s a spot to indicate how many days. There’s also a place to list inspections to be performed, special jobsite information, injuries and actions taken in response to the injury, and other safety topics.

But wait – this isn’t just a jobsite log! There’s also supplementary material to help you with those uncommon problems that come up on the jobsite. There’s construction math to help you determine rafter length; figure roof area from the plans or roof area from walking the roof; calculate coverage per roll of felt; determine the quantity of studs needed for framing; find the required slope for excavations; figure cubic yards for excavation estimates; estimate cubic yards of concrete; calculate brick, block and mortar; or estimate drywall, tile, and wall paint quantities. It also includes practically every abbreviation and symbol ever used on a set of plans, as well as a 24-page English to Spanish dictionary. It’s like having three books in one.
