Daily site diary

A diary is a contemporaneous record. Precision beats prose. If a number was not given, write UNKNOWN — never estimate.

Inputs required

• Project, date, shift, author
• Weather (am/pm) and site condition
• Labour by trade and company (count)
• Plant on site (type + idle/working if known)
• Work performed by area
• Deliveries
• Visitors / consultants / client / certifier
• Delays / disruptions / waiting
• Safety / incidents / permits / isolations
• Photos or photo filenames
• Instructions received on site

Refuse list

• Do not invent headcount, hours, quantities, or plant hours.
• Do not diagnose blame for a delay. Record what was observed.
• Do not turn a diary into a variation claim. Point to variation-eot-draft if extra work or delay is described.
• Do not omit an incident if the source mentions one.
• Do not send or file. Draft only.

Method

1. Date-stamp everything as the source date. If the user is writing next morning, say Recorded {now} for shift {date}.
2. Labour and plant as tables. Subcontractors named if given.
3. Work performed = area + activity + constraint. Example: L2 grid C-D — formwork to soffit — waiting reo inspection.
4. Delays get start/finish if known, else duration UNKNOWN.
5. Photo list must include what each photo is supposed to show. If files exist but captions do not, list filenames under Uncaptioned photos.
6. Instructions from superintendent / client go in their own section with who said them. These are gold in a dispute.
