Daily logs by Constructable

Construction daily log software for general contractors

A daily report your super can finish from the truck. The weather is already on it, subs log their own crews, and yesterday's crews carry over instead of being retyped. Everyone on the job can use it because we do flat pricing with unlimited users.

A daily log in Constructable with the day's notes, site photos, subcontractor crews, and employee time cards

Fast entry

Start from yesterday, not a blank form

Our construction daily log software does the typing your super would otherwise do at the end of the day, so the report gets written while the day is still fresh.

• Same crews as yesterday: repeat Personnel, Time Cards, Equipment, and Materials from the last log, then change what's different

• Weather: hourly conditions for the project's address, 6 AM to 6 PM, are already on the log

• Five deliveries in a row: Save and Add Another keeps the form open for the next one

• On site: add the log and photos from the Constructable app for iPhone, iPad, and Android

Subcontractor entry

Let subs log their own headcount

Stop calling around for manpower at 3 PM. Give your trade partners Limited Daily Log Entry and they record their own crews on your log.

• A sub's foreman: adds the day's workers, hours, notes, and photos for their own company

• Your log stays yours: subs don't see your notes, weather, delays, or other sections, and can only change the rows they entered

• Your super: sees every company's crew in one Personnel section, with each crew's total hours worked out for you

Phone calls

Put jobsite phone calls on the record

The call where the owner's rep said to hold the pour belongs on that day's log, not in someone's memory.

• Log the call: inbound or outbound, who was on it, the number, and the time

• Upload the recording: Constructable transcribes it, and you can search the transcript

• Skip the write-up: leave the summary blank and AI writes one from the recording

• Across projects: calls print in the daily log PDF, and the Phone Calls report covers every project

Delays and safety

Keep the record a claim needs

When a delay turns into a dispute months later, the daily log is the evidence. Constructable records the cause, the impact, and the photos in the same place.

• A rain day: pick the delay types that apply, such as Weather, Owner Directive, or Waiting on RFI/Submittal, and write which crews stopped and for how long

• Looking back: the daily log list flags every day with a delay, so you can find the bad days in a month at a glance

• Toolbox talks and near misses: write them in Safety and attach the sign-in sheet

• Photos where they belong: attach the delivery ticket to the delivery, and the PDF prints it under Delivery Photos instead of mixing it in with site photos

Custom fields

Ask for what this project needs

A tilt-up job and a hospital fit-out don't need the same daily report. Set up the log for each project without changing the others.

• Sections nobody fills in: hide them on this project, and hide fields like Hours Worked or Notes too

• Details crews keep typing into notes: add custom fields to Personnel, Equipment, Materials, Deliveries, Dumpsters, Inspections, and Phone Calls, and make them required

• Something the log has no home for: add your own section, such as site visitors or concrete pours

• New projects: a project created from a template starts with the same daily log setup

Distribute and report

Send it out and report on it

Email the day's report to the owner and architect from the log, and keep a record of who got it and when.

• End of the day: distribute the log to your project's default recipients, choose the photo sections, and review the email before it goes

• The owner asks about last month: download up to 60 days of logs as one ZIP, or add every log to a closeout package

• Portfolio review: organization reports cover personnel, equipment, materials, deliveries, inspections, and phone calls across every project

• Labor cost: time cards on the log carry cost codes and cost types, and can sync to Non-Committed Costs

Christian Allen, Estimator/Project Manager at Trinity Builds: Trinity Builds recently made the switch from an industry leading Project Management platform to Constructable.ai. This has been absolutely amazing. For many years, they had been the industry standard, but has neglected to keep up with cutting edge technology, as well as neglecting customer service. Constructable.ai has so many incredible usable features, including an internal AI agent that can search drawings and specs and give real time answers. One of my favorite features is the AI agent Import Bid feature, which will take an emailed bid from a sub contractor and detail the full scope of work, inclusions and exclusions, and pricing clarifications.

David Gibbs, Associate Manager of Architecture at RRM Design Group: The Constructable team truly listens to all the variety of users as they strive to develop this software to be better every day. As an architect using Constructable I can attest to the strength of the product today, and because of their collaboration vision I know it will only continue to make huge strides tomorrow.

Tom Colleran: we're reaching a cruise control with Constructable where we're making the agent a part of our process. If you haven't checked it out, Constructable is agent based.

Mark Gillett: Thank you, Molly! This program is making these projects so much easier and streamlined!

Email to Molly about Constructable submittal status: I’m not sure who requested this updated feature, but this is GREAT! Really. I love the stamp. Very helpful for the superintendent or the on-site team to know the status of the submittals while they are not always implicated in the back and forth before the review. Thank you for that.

By the way, the “Add Invoice” button that was added for sub and owner invoices on the invoice screen has been very convenient! Thanks for adding that!

Email to Emma and John: We were just going through and reviewing a few things on Constructable and noticed the Lists change and new matching Global Report! It’s awesome to see this implemented so quickly. We really appreciate the commitment to updates and improvements, and this should help streamline things for us quite a bit.

That’s actually awesome, thank you for the update. That should make it smoother for everyone.

Subcontractor email regarding the new Constructable program: just wanted to say how much I like the new system, it’s quick and easy to use and so far, easy to follow.

Hey Molly, that’s fantastic news. Tomorrow I’ll mess around with it. Lots of possibilities! Thanks for being so responsive to our requests and suggestions. We are happy customers.

Wow, the new Project Home Dashboard is awesome!!! Great job

Constructable adds a Billable On field in Change Orders so change orders can move to the invoice when needed. Replies: This is awesome, thank you! and Yes, very helpful!!!

Many thanks for the smooth transition and emailing all sub-contractors / vendors.

Jennifer Sears, Operations Administrator: If you know me well, you will be surprised that I'm recommending a program that has a lot of AI features. And I'm loving this program! After suffering through a couple of older project management platforms, Constructable.ai is in a league of its own! In an industry where communication, coordination, and access to accurate information can make or break a project, having a platform that helps keep everything organized and accessible is a huge advantage. Constructable.ai does a great job of bringing project information together in one place, making it easier for teams to stay aligned, find what they need, and make informed decisions without wasting time digging through emails, folders, and disconnected systems. For contractors looking for ways to improve efficiency, communication, and overall project organization, Constructable.ai is definitely worth checking out. If you would like an introduction to the absolutely rock star Constructable.ai Team, let me know. I'll hook you up! I promise, you will be impressed.

Luigi La Corte, Co-Founder and CEO of Provisio: Molly Abbott, Emma Nazim and the Constructable team have one of the most thoughtful solutions I’ve seen in construction tech. I was really blown away by how much they’ve built and how happy their customers were based on our initial conversations. I’m super pumped for their latest launch and looking forward to seeing them crushing it even more than they are now. If you are a PM and you’re looking for best-in-class project management software, do contact Molly and Emma.

Email to John: That deep dive was such a valuable session specifically because of how you ran it. You came out to listen. They didn’t just take away Constructable knowledge but saw how you use Claude. To the whole Constructable team: thank you for being the kind of partner we point to when people ask what a good vendor relationship looks like. You listen, you take feedback seriously, and you keep shipping updates that make the product better for the people using it in the field and in the office.

Customer asks if Superintendents can view Timecards. Molly replies On it! Done! Customer: You’re the absolute best!!! :-)

Everyone loves Constructable! Keep kicking ass! Bidding a job in Carlsbad right now and these subs who don’t know us are really liking it. Also, one of the subs down there bidding my job is already using Constructable on a project with another contractor. Very cool!

This is Absolutely AWESOME!!! Thank you Molly!!

Hey Constructable Team — I’m using the updated subcontractor invoice attachment download options and esigning waivers and wanted to thank you for implementing these features! It’s really streamlining things!

Random encounter — I was out yesterday and heard a couple of folks discussing Constructable vs Procore. Sounds like things are going well!

Constructable rocks! I am so happy to have found you and to have made the switch.

Constructable is the real deal! Everyone loves it as far as the feedback I’m hearing.

The team absolutely loves Constructable. The AI feature, among so many others, are so helpful and easy to use, both in the field and in the office. Keep up the good work!!!

Emma — I’m using Constructable on my remodel. Love this thing. Great work!

Excellent! Thank you so much for all of your help and hard work to get this done so quickly. We greatly appreciate you all! My team has been getting in and surfing around. They are all loving it! Especially the little Easter eggs. I haven’t seen it yet, but the guys are all talking about it.

Dick Gray, President / CEO / Partner at MLGP: Can’t say enough good things about our partnership with Molly Abbott and Emma Nazim and the rest of the Constructable crew — we are a better GC because of you all!

Miguel Melo, General Superintendent at The Eminence Group: Talk about a seamless transition when my company decided to board with Constructable as our construction management platform. The training process was immaculate, the interface was very familiar and intuitive, and we had a great surprise when we requested rich-text formatting for the daily log to color code certain information and had it implemented the following day. The built-in tools are also something good. Take-off tools, budgets, schedules, and their AI search tool takes everything to the next level. Entirely happy that we made the switch.

Justin Cohen: Thanks Molly! Constructable is my favorite app to hit if I can’t make it on-site to see all the work done.

Thanks for your help, and for the quick personal assistance. We have all been amazed at the level of support we have received so far. Huge thanks to you and your team!

Molly updates access so a teammate can manage the company directory and merge companies. Customer: Thank you so much! I can’t begin to tell you how much I appreciate you and your team!!! Molly: We feel the same way about you all!

Hi!! You guys already got Constructable ready for Claude?! So exited!! Tell me more

I have something to share with you guys that I just did on here and I was using the chatbot function for our site. And it gave me the exact location that I had previously figured out using Math. Where the floor penetration would be so the math checks. It’s pretty cool.

Hello Molly, 4:47pm request, completed at 4:51pm…. sorry Molly that’s just not fast enough! All jokes aside, thank you!

Molly, just wanted to send a huge thank you for coming in and absolutely crushing the Constructable training with our team yesterday. Seriously, it felt more like a masterclass than a walkthrough. You did an awesome job breaking everything down in a way that actually clicked for everyone, and the energy and knowledge you brought made a big impact. We really appreciate you taking the time to answer questions, share tips and tricks, and help us connect the dots on how to make our workflows smoother and more efficient.

We were discussing construction management software over the weekend and he was very impressed with the capabilities of Constructable. Emma, Molly and John are the founders at Constructable. I cannot say enough good things about how helpful they have been since we joined Constructable as a user. The software speaks for itself, and their responsiveness to user feedback is unmatched.

Thank you Molly, I really like Constructable compared to Procore

Hello Molly, thanks for doing that. I logged in on my phone, and everything looks great! I am very excited to start using Constructable! Everything was quick to display, and I even added a photo album. It looked like everything was there and very simple to navigate which is extremely important. I also noticed Sunbelt Rentals and Best Block had their logos next to their names.

OMG! I can reorganize drawing disciplines. Thank you Thank you!

Frequently Asked Questions

Do supers have to enter the weather?

No. Constructable records the weather every hour for the project's address and puts it on the log. Open Hourly Weather Details to see 6 AM to 6 PM with temperature, conditions, chance of precipitation, and wind speed, in Fahrenheit or Celsius. Write what you actually saw in the notes when it matters for a claim.

Can subcontractors enter their own manpower without seeing our whole log?

Yes. Turn on Limited Daily Log Entry for your Subcontractor role. Subs can add the day's log and record their own crew, hours, notes, and photos. They don't see your notes, weather, delays, or any other section, and they can only change the rows they entered.

Can we add our own fields and sections to the daily report?

Yes. Each project can hide the sections and fields it never uses, add custom fields to Personnel, Equipment, Materials, Deliveries, Dumpsters, Inspections, and Phone Calls, and add sections of its own, such as site visitors or concrete pours. Custom fields print in the PDF, and a field marked required has to be filled in before the entry saves.

Can we record and summarize jobsite phone calls?

Yes. Log the call on the day's log with the direction, who was on it, the phone number, and the time. Upload the recording and Constructable transcribes it, writes a summary if you leave that field blank, and puts the call in the daily log PDF. Constructable doesn't place or record calls itself. You upload the recording.

How do we send daily logs to the owner or architect?

Choose Distribute on the log. Pick which photo sections go with it, choose the recipients, review the email, and send. Each project can set default recipients, and the log keeps a record of every distribution with its recipients and attachments.

Can we export a month of daily logs at once for a claim or closeout?

Yes. Export Daily Logs downloads up to 60 days as one ZIP with a PDF for each log. For the whole project history, add Daily Logs to a closeout package. See our closeout features.

Do time cards on the daily log flow into job cost?

Yes. Time cards on the log are the same records as your organization's Time Cards, with the employee, cost code, cost type, and hours. With the sync turned on, hours that have a cost code and an hourly cost rate become payroll costs in Non-Committed Costs. See our financial management features.

Does it work on a phone and iPad?

Yes. Create and fill in daily logs on the web, on mobile web, or in the Constructable app for iPhone, iPad, and Android. Take photos with the camera or pick them from your library, and export a PDF from any of them.

Is the daily log included in the Field Management plan, and what does it cost?

Yes. Daily logs are in every plan, starting with Field Management. Every plan is a flat monthly rate with unlimited users, and AI tools are included. View our pricing page for more details.
