Can SiteSurvey replace paper site diaries and daily logs?

Yes. SiteSurvey replaces paper site diaries with a digital daily log form that site managers complete on their phone or tablet, capturing the same information as a traditional diary but in a structured, searchable format.

A typical daily log form in SiteSurvey includes fields for date, weather conditions, number of operatives on site by trade, progress descriptions for each work area, deliveries received, visitors, incidents or delays, photographs, and a manager signature. The form is submitted once per day and timestamped automatically.

Because entries are structured rather than freehand, you can filter the project log by date, operative count, or specific keywords. This is far quicker than leafing through a physical diary when you need to find when a particular activity took place or confirm attendance on a specific date.

Paper site diaries are vulnerable to loss, damage, and illegible handwriting. Digital logs are backed up automatically and accessible to authorised project stakeholders from any location, which matters when a contract manager working off site needs to review daily progress without travelling to the project.
