Daily Reports


All seasoned superintendents record a daily diary of events on their projects. The daily report becomes the official daily diary of happenings for the project when an arbitrator wants to see how a project was built. Seasoned superintendents are very diligent in keeping this diary for themselves and for their organization. There are so many sections to a good daily report. The PCM sections are as follows:

  • Comments

  • Additional Comments

  • Equipment

  • Field Force

  • Visitors

  • Material Deliveries

  • Schedule

  • Weather

The following screenshot shows the Daily Reports module in PCM:

Each of these sections has many fields where information is stored about that particular day. Much of the information is also retrieved via drop-down lists to make it as easy and quick as possible. PCM also has the capability to lock the report by a manager so it is no longer editable.
