Free construction daily log template
A daily log is the record you reach for when a delay, a dispute or an injury claim comes up months later. This one fits a day on a page: who was there and for how long, what got done, what arrived, what got in the way, and who came by.
Free. No email, no account.
What a good one includes
- Weather
- Conditions and temperature. Weather is the first question in any delay dispute.
- Who was on site, and for how long
- Each person or crew, their trade and their hours.
- What got done
- Specific enough to be useful later: where, how much, and what’s next.
- Deliveries, delays and visitors
- What arrived, what didn’t, what stopped work, and which inspector or client walked the site.
- Safety
- Toolbox talks, incidents and near misses — written the day they happen.
Or skip the paperwork
Weather and crew filled in for you, photos from the field, and the day sent to the client in one tap.
Questions
Is this template free?
Yes — the spreadsheet and the PDF are free, no email or account needed.
Does the spreadsheet total the hours?
Yes. Enter each person’s hours and the crew total adds itself up.
How long should I keep daily logs?
As long as your contracts, insurer and state require — often years. Keep them somewhere they can’t be lost.
What does Partner add?
In Partner the weather and the crew fill themselves in from the time clock, each crew member adds their own line and photo when they clock out, and you can send the day to the client in one tap.
