What the tool does
A daily report records who and what was on site, what was done, the weather and anything that went wrong. It is also evidence: in a dispute about delays, the daily reports are read next to the schedule and the letters. The tool keeps one page per day and does the arithmetic that is usually done by hand.
- Weather: morning and afternoon conditions, low and high temperature, rain and wind, and whether work was delayed by weather, with what was delayed.
- Work: each line can be linked to an activity of the schedule, with location, description, quantity and a finished mark.
- Workers, equipment and materials: each table shows the previous total, today and the total to date, as in the Korean form, with hours where the Japanese and US forms ask for them.
- Remarks, safety, quality and visitors, and photos with the capture time read from the file.
- Signatures: names and dates for the roles of the chosen form. Closing a day keeps later changes in a history list.
How to use it
- Open the schedule on the Activities tab: a schedule saved by the workjigs schedule tool, an MS Project XML file, a Primavera XER file or a CSV list of activities. Add the unit and planned quantity of the activities you measure.
- Each evening open today and press Copy previous day: the workers and equipment of the last diary day are copied, and yesterday's plan for tomorrow becomes today's work list. Change the numbers.
- Add photos and a line of description for each. Fill the weather.
- Look at the checks on the right (no work, no weather, a workers line without a number, a photo without a description, a weather delay without a note), then close the day.
- On Friday export the period PDF for the supervisor and the progress file for the schedule.
From the diary to the schedule
For each activity the first day with work is its actual start, the day a work line is marked finished is its actual finish, and the percent complete is the quantity to date over the planned quantity, or the percent you typed. Export the progress and the schedule file comes back with these values and the data date set to the day after the period: open it in the workjigs schedule tool, MS Project or Primavera P6 to recalculate.
Period summary
For any period the tool shows workers by date and trade, the cost of the day when you enter your own rates per worker-day and per equipment day or hour, and a weather table by month: diary days, weather delay days, days with rain or wind above the limits you set, and the rain total. The period workbook carries the same tables with formulas, the materials log with quantities to date, the work log and the progress of every activity.
Forms
- Korea: the daily work report of the construction management guideline (form 60), with previous, today and to-date columns for workers, equipment and materials, and the confirmation boxes of the writer, the site manager and the supervising engineer.
- Japan: the usual blocks of a 工事日報: weather, work and progress, workers and hours (出面), machines and materials, safety and KY, quality and inspections, tomorrow.
- United States: weather and delays, manpower by company and trade with hours, work performed, equipment, deliveries, visitors and inspections, safety, notes.
The photo sheet puts three photos on a page with number, capture time and description.
Where the data stays
The diary and the photos are kept in this browser on this device. Photos are reduced to 1,600 pixels. Export the backup file regularly: it contains the photos and opens on another device. Weather is not fetched automatically; enter the observed values or those of the national weather service for the site.
Limits
The diary does not replace the contract's own reporting rules: check which form, which signatures and which period the contract asks for. Percent complete from quantities is only as good as the planned quantities you enter. Two people editing the same diary on two devices are not merged; exchange the backup file instead.
