A construction daily report (also called a daily log or field report) is a record of everything that happened on a job site in a single day. It typically includes weather, work completed, workers on site, hours logged, photos, incidents, and notes. Daily reports protect you legally, keep owners informed, and create a paper trail for disputes.

Each ConstruTrack daily report can include: work logs (description, hours, worker count), individual time cards (worker name and hours), general notes, safety notes, quality notes, incidents and delays, and photos with captions. All of this is compiled into a single PDF.

Yes. You can upload photos directly from your phone or computer. ConstruTrack automatically compresses images before upload to save bandwidth. Photos are stored securely and included in the PDF report. Free plan supports up to 2 photos per report; Pro plan supports up to 10.

When you submit a daily report, ConstruTrack automatically generates a branded PDF. You can also download the PDF at any time from the report page using the Download PDF button. The PDF includes all work logs, time cards, photos, and notes.

Yes. Each project has a Recipients settings page where you can add email addresses. When a report is submitted, ConstruTrack automatically emails the PDF to all project recipients. This is included in both the free and Pro plans.

The free plan supports up to 2 photos per daily report. The Pro plan supports up to 10 photos per report.

Yes. ConstruTrack supports a collaborator role designed for subcontractors. Collaborators can submit their own trade reports, which are indexed into the master daily report for the project. They get free access — you don't need to pay for subcontractor seats.

Inside each daily report, you can add individual time cards — one per worker. Each time card records the worker's name and hours worked that day. This gives you a daily record of who was on site and for how long.

Yes. Time cards are per-worker entries inside a daily report. You add a worker name and their hours for the day. There is no limit to the number of time cards per report on any plan.

Each daily report captures hours at the work log level (total hours for a task) and at the time card level (individual worker hours). Future versions of ConstruTrack will include project-level hours summaries and reports.

The free plan allows 1 active project. The Pro plan allows unlimited projects.

Team member invitations are on the roadmap for an upcoming release. Currently, the owner creates the organization and manages projects. Collaborator (subcontractor) access is already supported.
