How Do Scaftra's Daily Logs Work?

How do you keep a field record that holds up when a delay or a dispute lands months later?

Scaftra captures the per-day field report, including weather, work performed, labor, and issues, as a project-attributed record that becomes part of the defensible paper trail.

The problem it solves

Every finish-trade job generates a daily field report that runs alongside the physical install: who was on site, what got done, the weather that can justify a delay claim, equipment used, issues and delays, safety notes, and visitors. When these live in a paper notebook or a foreman's phone, the record is incomplete and unattributed exactly when a delay claim or a dispute needs it.

Why it matters

The daily log is defensibility. When a dispute, backcharge, or delay claim lands months later, the record shows what was known, when, and who logged it. A weather snapshot captured the day of the storm justifies a delay; a reconstructed memory does not. A consistent, project-attributed daily report is the difference between a defensible claim and a he-said situation.

Common mistakes

How it works

1. Capture the day on site

   The field super records weather, work performed, areas worked, equipment, issues and delays, safety, and visitors.
2. Snapshot the weather

   The weather conditions and temperatures are captured for the day, so a delay claim has its supporting record.
3. Attribute and attach

   The log is attributed to who logged it and tied to its project and company.
4. Reference it later

   When a delay or dispute arises, the daily record shows what was known and when.

How Scaftra does it

Scaftra captures the Daily Log as a per-project, per-company field record: weather conditions and temperatures with a captured weather snapshot, work performed, areas worked, equipment used, issues and delays, safety notes, and visitors, attributed to who logged it. It is scoped to its company and project so it is filtered to the right team and cannot leak across tenants. The daily log is one of the formal field records that sits alongside RFIs and submittals as the project's paper trail. This is built and live.

Key capabilities

• Full field report: Work performed, areas worked, equipment, issues, safety, and visitors captured per day.
• Weather snapshot: Conditions and temperatures are captured for the day, supporting a later delay claim.
• Attributed and scoped: Each log is attributed to who logged it and scoped to its project and company.
• Part of the paper trail: Daily logs sit alongside RFIs and submittals as the project's defensible record.

Benefits

• Delay claims rest on a same-day weather record instead of reconstructed memory.
• The field record is attributed and tied to the project when a dispute lands.
• What was known, and when, is recoverable months later.

Who it's for

• Field supers.Superintendents logging daily site activity, weather, and issues.
• Project managers.PMs who need a defensible daily record for delay claims and disputes.
