Keep track of teams across shifts with construction shift handover reports

Construction projects with day and night shifts require multiple teams to complete work with minimal direct contact, which can make it difficult to maintain operational continuity and track progress. Construction shift handover reports provide continuous documentation of each shift and can be reviewed to identify recurring trends. For example, if there are issues between teams over task progress, these reports can help identify which team have not been completing their duties.

Using a well-structured template for construction shift handovers benefits this process, making it easier for management to review and compile data from each shift for reporting purposes.

Shift handover reports can come in Excel or other formats, and will generally require the following sections to be effective:

  • Header Information: Includes project details, shift duration, and location.
  • Shift Key Personnel: Lists names and roles of key individuals.
  • Production Summary: Summarizes work completed and quantities achieved.
  • Workforce Hours: Details names, trades, and hours worked.
  • Stocktake Summary: Tracks available quantities of items and relevant comments.
  • Actions Required: Describes tasks for the next shift with responsible persons.
  • Handover Notes and Signoff: Provides notes and signoff from the outgoing shift.
  • Supporting Photos: Includes photos documenting work areas and activities.

Shift handover reports should be exportable to PDF so that they be easily viewed on all devices.
