TL;DR
A daily report is the field log a general contractor or superintendent keeps for each working day, recording weather, crew counts by trade, work performed, materials delivered, inspections, visitors, and any delays or incidents. Kept contemporaneously, it becomes the most credible evidence in disputes over weather delays, change-order timing, and who was on site when damage occurred.
What it means
A daily report is the field log a general contractor or superintendent keeps for each working day, recording weather, crew counts by trade, work performed, materials delivered, inspections, visitors, and any delays or incidents. Kept contemporaneously, it becomes the most credible evidence in disputes over weather delays, change-order timing, and who was on site when damage occurred. Construction management apps have largely replaced the carbon-copy logbook, and owners on larger projects can reasonably ask for access or copies as a contract term.
