Avoid delays and disputes with a reliable construction log book

In construction projects, tracking every activity on site can be overwhelming. Log books monitor on site progress so that everyone is on the same page.

Your construction log book is crucial for keeping stakeholders informed, boosting site productivity and minimising delays. Timely communication is critical in the construction industry - where projects can often go over budget and miss deadlines. In the event of a dispute, a well maintained log book also provides a bulletproof trail of documents to protect you and your company.

Our construction log book sample includes all the key sections you need for a good log book:

  • Project information
  • Contractor information
  • Site conditions such as the weather, temperature and ground conditions
  • Number of workers on site (includes contractor and subcontractor's men)
  • List of equipment and materials
  • Status of work
  • Signoff section for the worker/s completing the log book

You can use and download our construction log book as a starting point to create a format that suits your specific project requirements.
