What belongs in a contractor daily report?
Keep facts and locations specific so supervisors can follow up without guessing what happened. Record:
- Crew headcount, hours and work locations
- What was completed and what remains
- Daily materials and deliveries
- Weather, delays and access constraints
- Issues for the GC or PM
- What your crew needs next shift
Which tool fits your crew?
One-time downloads suit teams that want offline files and control over their own data. Live Sheets Deluxe, sold separately as a monthly subscription, is the team coordination option when multiple people need shared updates. Do not confuse the two: downloadable workbooks do not automatically synchronize with the live service or third-party systems.
Four-week look-ahead and productivity
For short-interval planning, list activities and locations across four weeks, then check manpower assumptions, access, materials and outstanding RFIs. For productivity, enter your own installed quantities, labor allowances and actual hours; the workbook does not supply verified rates or automated job costing.
These tools are general documentation aids. Use your employer's approved safety, inspection, payroll and contract-required reporting systems when needed.
