Daily activity report

This turns a site day into the figures a daily activity report carries. Enter the crew on site, the hours each worked, the delay hours the whole crew lost to weather, access or waiting, your loaded crew rate, the progress planned for the day against the progress made, and the deliveries and visitors, and the page returns the person-hours, the productive hours, the cost of the delay, the labor cost for the day, the variance against plan in percentage points and the entries the log needs. It is the arithmetic a superintendent does in the truck; the point is doing it the same way every day.

The delay is the number that gets argued about later

A weather day, a late delivery, a locked gate: the crew is paid and nothing moves. The daily log is the only contemporaneous record of it, and a delay claim or an extension of time is decided on that record months later. The page prices the delay at your loaded rate on the day it happened, which is the figure a claim needs and the one memory cannot reproduce.

Progress against plan, in points, every day

A job that is one point behind plan every day for a month is a month late. Logging planned against actual progress daily makes the drift visible in the first week rather than the last. The page prints the variance in percentage points times ten so a half-point slip does not round away to nothing.

Deliveries and visitors are entries, not memories

What arrived, who inspected, who visited and what they said belong on the day's log with the crew and the hours. The page counts them into the entries the log needs, and Pro keeps each day against the project so the record is the whole job, day by day.
