Record what happened on site today, so claims, disputes and variations have receipts.
For sole traders and small firms who keep losing money to 'he said / she said'. Weather, labour, deliveries, delays and safety, in one PDF per day or per week.
Site diaries are one of the most powerful pieces of evidence in construction disputes. Adjudicators, mediators and judges put significant weight on contemporaneous daily records. Fill this in at the end of each day - even a few bullet points are better than nothing.
Disclaimer: This tool helps you keep a daily site record. In a dispute, contemporaneous records carry more weight than memory. Fill this in at the end of each day - even a few bullet points are better than nothing.

What the law actually says
- •A dated site diary is your own record of what happened on site each day - work done, weather, who was there, deliveries and delays. It is not required by a single statute, but it is the evidence that wins payment, delay and variation disputes, including claims under the Prescription Act 68 of 1969 time limits.
