Easiest way for a superintendent to do daily logs
Your super sends a voice note and photos. The agent writes the daily log, and flags and dates every delay for time-extension requests later.

The problem
Your supers are out in the field all day. The daily log gets written at night from memory, or on Friday for the whole week, or not at all.
Months later you need to show the owner that the rain, the late steel or the inspector's no-show cost you four days. If the log doesn't say it, with dates, you don't get the time extension, and you may pay liquidated damages.
What your agent does
- The super leaves a voice note"Eight framers, drywall delivery came at two, waiting on the inspector"
- Photos from the site
- Your agent writes the daily logCrew counts, weather, deliveries, visitors and work done
- Delays flagged and datedCause, start date and what work it held up
- The super reads it back and confirmsCorrections by text or a quick call
- Filed in the job record
What you get
- A daily log for every working day, written the same day
- Every delay recorded with its date and cause
- Photos attached to the day they were taken
- A delay list your PM can hand over when asking for more time
Who approves what
The super confirms each log before it's filed. The agent fills in weather and crew from what it hears, but it doesn't change a filed log without the super or PM saying so.
Common questions
- My supers won't type. Will they actually use this?
- They don't have to type. They call or send a voice note on the drive home, the same way they'd tell you about the day. The agent asks one or two follow-up questions if something is missing.
- Does it go into Procore's daily log?
- If you use Procore, yes, we set it up to write into the daily log there. If you keep logs in another system or a shared folder, it files them there instead.

No waiver, no payment
Before a sub gets paid, the agent collects the lien waiver and current COI, checks the amounts, and won't mark the payment ready until both are right.
Monthly pay applications
The agent turns field progress and your schedule of values into the figures and backup for your monthly G702/G703 pay app, ready for your review.
RFIs and submittals
The agent tracks every open RFI and submittal, chases the overdue ones, and tells your PM which ones are holding up the schedule.
Warranty callbacks
A homeowner calls about a problem. The agent finds the job and the responsible sub, sends it with photos, books the visit and confirms it's fixed.
