Soon after creating Weekly Safety meetings in 1978, we realized that our customers needed a good, structured way to track what happens at their construction sites on a day-to-day basis. We saw superintendents keeping notes on loose-leaf paper, which ultimately shocked us. What are they doing with these papers, and how are they organizing them? We saw these 'loose' papers getting lost from their binders too often. This brought us to the development of the Daily Log Book.
What Is A Daily Log Book?
The Daily Log Book helps superintendents and supervisors keep track of the following daily records:
- Work performed
- Weather
- Subcontractor progress
- Materials purchased
- Workforce
Different Types of Log Books Are Available
