Daily field logs are the starting point for accurate construction job costing.
Capture every technician’s:
Name
Project
Hours worked
Cost code
Work performed
Change-order reference, if applicable
When field hours are coded correctly, they can support payroll, project profitability, budget-versus-actual analysis, and billing documentation.buildtrayd
My basic control rule:
No project, no cost code, no posting.
Before importing a daily log, I verify the project, cost code, hours, overtime, crew totals, and approved CO reference.
Accurate financial reporting does not begin in the accounting software. It begins with reliable information from the field.
