Construction Daily Log App: Faster Daily Reports, Fewer Mistakes

Paper or spreadsheets slow everyone down. A construction daily log app makes field reporting simple: capture weather, manpower, equipment, deliveries, incidents and photos as you go—then export a clean construction daily report in minutes. Here’s how teams use WorkFotos to keep daily logs accurate and on time.

What is a construction daily log app?

A construction daily log app (also called a construction daily report app or daily log software) helps superintendents, foremen, and PMs document the day’s work quickly and consistently:

  • Record weather, manpower, subcontractors, and equipment on site.
  • Capture jobsite photos tied to the correct project and area.
  • Log deliveries, inspections, RFIs, incidents, and safety notes.
  • Export a standardized daily report (PDF) with your branding.
Result: consistent documentation, fewer disputes, and easier coordination across office and field.
