The daily report takes a day to compile and is stale by morning.
What ERP Infra does: The daily report writes itself from site entries, costed and with photos, the same evening.
Why it happens
The site sends photos on WhatsApp, attendance on paper and quantities by phone. Someone in the office retypes all of it into a report format, and management reads yesterday’s position at noon today.
The same figures are then typed again for the schedule and again for costing. Each retyping is a chance for the three to disagree.
of rework is caused by poor project data and miscommunication.
FMI and PlanGrid, Construction Disconnected, 2018of construction firms still run their numbers on spreadsheets, and half still compile reports by hand.
Construction Management and Access Construction surveyHow ERP Infra handles it
Captured at site, once
Attendance, work done, photos and videos, consumables and machine readings are entered at the site where they happen.
Reported at project level
The report is consolidated for the project, with each site’s detail visible inside it.
Costed automatically
The day’s labour, machinery and material are costed in the same report.
Feeds the schedule
The same work-done entries update planned against actual. Nobody types progress twice.
Questions people ask
- What should a construction daily progress report contain?
- Work done against each activity, manpower by contractor, machinery deployed with hours, material received and consumed, and photos. In ERP Infra it also carries the cost of the day.
- Can site staff use ERP Infra on a phone?
- Yes. Site roles use it in a phone browser at site, and office roles in a browser at the office.
