Site Diary
A daily site diary that takes minutes, not hours.
Foreman's digital site diary lets Australian builders record what happened on every job, every day, straight from their phone. Capture progress photos, hours worked and work completed without paperwork piling up in the ute.
A site diary is a daily record of everything that happens on a construction site: who was on site, the hours they worked, the weather, deliveries, delays and the work completed. Builders use site diaries to track progress, manage subcontractors and protect themselves if a dispute or variation comes up later.
Foreman turns the site diary into a 2-minute job done on a phone. Instead of a paper book that gets lost or a spreadsheet nobody updates, your whole team logs the day as it happens.

Frequently asked questions
- What is a construction site diary?
- A construction site diary is a daily record of activity on a job site, including labour, hours, weather, deliveries, delays and work completed. It creates an accurate timeline of the project that builders rely on for progress tracking and dispute resolution.
- Why do builders need a site diary?
- A site diary protects builders by creating a dated, photo-backed record of what happened on site. It helps justify variations, resolve disputes, manage subcontractors and keep clients informed.
- Can I use Foreman's site diary without internet on site?
- Foreman is a mobile web app with nothing to install, so it runs on whatever phone your crew already carry. It does need a connection to submit an entry, so in a black spot you may need to send it once you are back in range.
- Can I export my site diary records?
- Yes. You can export your diary entries to Excel at any time to share with clients, head contractors or to keep for your own records.
