Essay:

1. Explain the daily report in the construction fieldwork.

Since they only include what you need, daily reports all contain different building blocks. Here are
the most common elements:

 Project information: The project name and number, address, report date and author,
etc. Adding this information helps managers, customers, and other parties immediately
see which project goes with which report. It’ll also help when you need to look up an
old report in your archive.
 Weather conditions: Changes to the weather, such as rain, snow, or intense sun, can
cause delays (e.g. when pouring concrete slabs), impact worker efficiency, and increase
the potential for accidents.
 Labor time spent: The workers on site, the number of hours they worked, and what
they did.
 Equipment used and received: Which major materials were used or received, and
which weren’t received (and are causing delays).
 Tasks in progress and tasks completed: Which tasks are in progress (e.g. slab pouring
70% complete) and which tasks are done (and can be documented with photos).
 Potential risks, issues, delays: Anything worth noting, plus areas where managers or
the customer could intervene (e.g. a delay of another contractor that prevents you
from starting your portion). Don’t forget to include photos so everyone can see the
exact issue.
 Safety observations and accidents: All safety risks and observations, again with
photos. (When accidents happen, the daily report can protect you from litigation.) In
the case of accidents, record who was involved, when and where it occurred, how it
impacted the work, and any photos of the event.
 2. How you write a monthly construction fieldwork?

Set out Hours Spent

Break down the hours spent, such as project planning for 10 hours, management for
30 hours or specifications 10 hours. Make sure each area is listed with the number of
hours and that they match the number of hours worked for the month.

Outline Applicable Updates on the Project

Outline what your group did over the course of the last month. Include any applicable
updates on the project, such as a project member quit on x date or you hired a new
project manager.

Discuss any Management Issues

You may have a passive client or project employees that missed several days of work.
Discuss any management problems experienced and outline a plan to solve the
problem.

Outline Main Events of the Project

Outline the main events of the project, such as what you have accomplished and what
strategies the team initiated to continue the project. Discuss the potential risks of the
project or complications that your team encountered, such as bugs in a code or
another problem.

Add the Project Deadline

Write the deadline for the project at the bottom of the monthly report.

Repeat for Each Project

Complete the above steps for each project that you organize for your team.

Review the Monthly Report for Errors

Make any revisions as necessary and submit the monthly report to your employer.
