Daily reports
A daily report is read twice: by the team the next morning, and again months later by someone trying to show what the job looked like on a particular Tuesday. A template that asks the same questions every day is what makes the second reading possible. This page lists the fields a superintendent’s report should hold and shows how Fidrel arranges them, with the limits of what it records.
30 days free · No long-term contract.
When an owner disputes a delay in the spring, nobody remembers which day the rebar arrived late. If the log says only “good progress,” the report cannot back up the story, and the weeks of work behind it count for little.
One log lists weather, another lists nothing but the pour. Without fixed fields, the head count and the deliveries are missing on the days you need them, and nobody can search across weeks.
A log in a shared document can be tidied up after the fact with no trail. A record that shows who changed which field and when is worth more than a neater one.
A report that holds up has the date and author, the location on the site, the company or trade, the work in progress, how many people were on site, the equipment present, what was delivered, the weather, any delay and its cause, safety observations and photos. Each stands alone so it can be read alone. Head count and weather are the two most often needed later and the two most often missing, because they feel trivial on the day. Fidrel gives each one its own field instead of leaving it for the free text, and groups them as Work & resources and Follow-up.
Site & daily log
A daily report cannot be deleted. It can be corrected, and every change is logged field by field with the name of the person and the time, in Activity & history, so you can always see what was changed and by whom. Reports are shown day by day with the most recent first, and you can search by title and filter by author, location, company, date and status.
Step 1
In Site & daily log choose New log entry. Give it a Title, check the Date, set the Work area / location and the Company if the report is about one trade, and write the main text, Work completed, observations and obstacles.
Step 2
Write the Work in progress, enter People on site as a number, name the Contractor, list Equipment / resources and Deliveries, and type the Weather as you saw it. Each has its own field, so none of it is buried in prose.
Step 3
Under Follow-up write the Delays / disruptions and what caused them, any Safety observations and a closing Comment. Leave a field empty if nothing happened, rather than writing a filler line.
Step 4
Under Files & photos choose Take photo on a phone, or add images, PDFs and documents up to 25 MB each, then save. The report appears under its day, and if something is wrong, Create NCR starts the follow-up from it.
When a report records something wrong, Create NCR fills in the title, text, location and responsible person from the report and links the two in both directions. The daily report keeps its account of the day, and the NCR carries the follow-up through its own statuses. A change order can then be created from the NCR. Whether a report satisfies the notice rules in your contract is for you and your counsel to decide; Fidrel keeps the record, not the notice.
People on site in a log entry is a head count; a Manpower row in a daily log adds company, trade and Hours, but there is no list of named crew members. The weather is typed in by the person writing the report. The Daily logs tab saves a day or a week as a PDF; there is no Excel export. A log entry carries no signature; a daily log can be countersigned or signed with objection, with name and time. There is no app to install: the daily log opens in the phone’s browser, where Take photo opens the camera.
