Excel (.xlsx) · works in Google Sheets · free, no email required

What's included

  • One row per day with date, weather, and temperature

  • Superintendent / inspector name for the record
  • A summary tab with a simple day count

How to use the daily construction report template

  1. 1. Download and open in Excel or Google Sheets

    The template is a standard .xlsx file. Use one workbook per project so every job has a continuous daily log.

  2. 2. Fill one row at the end of each day

    Record weather, who was on site, what work was performed, deliveries, and any delays or safety issues while the day is still fresh.

  3. 3. Keep the log with project records

    Daily reports are requested during claims, weather delays, and owner questions. A complete log is cheaper than reconstructing the week from memory.

  4. 4. Graduate when photos and inspections need to live together

    A spreadsheet captures the narrative. When you also need checklists, photos with GPS, and a PDF inspection report, move the same daily record into inspection software.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a daily construction report?
A daily construction report (or daily log) is the superintendent's record of what happened on site that day — weather, manpower, work performed, deliveries, visitors, delays, and safety. It is the backbone of delay claims and owner communication.
What should a daily report template include?
At minimum: date, weather, crew count, work performed, equipment, deliveries, delays, safety notes, and who wrote the report. Photos and checklist inspections go further than a spreadsheet can.
Is this daily report template free?
Yes. The AECify daily construction report template is a free Excel (.xlsx) download. No email signup is required.
When should I move off a spreadsheet daily log?
When you need photos attached to the day, inspection checklists, signatures, or a PDF you can send to the owner without reformatting. AECify inspections replace the paper-plus-spreadsheet daily report workflow.

Outgrowing the spreadsheet?

This spreadsheet works until the daily narrative, photos, and inspection checklist need to be one record. See how AECify's construction inspection software keeps the log, attachments, and deadlines in one project record.
