Vent: My foreman in Phoenix said my daily logs were too vague to be useful

He pointed out that writing 'worked on framing' didn't help track progress or issues. Now I list specific tasks, like 'completed wall sheathing on south side, Lot 7' and note any material delays. Has anyone else had to completely redo their reporting style like this?

Honestly, "worked on framing" tells me enough. I get the progress from the schedule. All that extra detail just makes more paperwork for no real gain.

But that extra detail is how you spot problems before they blow up the budget. Saying "framed interior walls" doesn't tell you if they hit a plumbing rough-in or had to work around an engineering change. The paperwork seems like a pain until it's the only record of why a delay happened.
