Three workflows that pay back this week
At end of day, dictate weather, crew, work completed, issues, next day plan. Paste into your daily report template. Filed before you leave the site.
When a spec gap shows up, dictate the RFI on the spot. Refine at the office. Faster response cycle.
Walk the space and dictate items as you go. Beats typing on a tablet in gloves.
Say this, get that
Real prompts you can speak into the tool right now, and the kind of cleaned draft you get back.
"Daily report for Tuesday November 4th. Weather cool and dry, 8 to 12 degrees. Crew on site: 4 framers, 2 electricians, 1 plumber. Work completed: second floor framing 80 percent done, rough electrical started in the basement. Issues: window delivery pushed to Friday which may impact next week's dry-in. Next day plan: finish second floor framing, start roof trusses."
A structured daily report covering weather, crew, work completed, issues and next day plan. Paste into your Procore or spreadsheet template.
"RFI for the mechanical room on level B1. The drawings show a 200mm slab depression for the pump pad, but the structural notes call for 150mm. Please confirm which controls, and if 200mm is correct, confirm the reinforcement adjustment needed. Response required by end of week to avoid pour delay."
A clear RFI with drawing reference, the conflict, what is needed and the schedule impact. Ready for your project engineer to format and log.
Where construction administration lose time
- Daily reports get filed the next morning at best
- RFIs are delayed and cause schedule slip
- Safety incident notes are thin
- Owner updates are inconsistent
