Concrete foreman’s daily report being filled out — job header, crew and man-hour tiles, the day’s weather, and Work Performed activity cards.

No charge until day 15. 14 days free, cancel anytime.

Built for the foreman

Simple enough that it actually gets filed.

Open the Daily Reports tab and a foreman sees only the jobs assigned to him — nothing to hunt for. He taps a job, fills out what happened, and hits Sign & Submit. That locks it as an official record and stamps it with a report number.

And if someone misses a day, they can still file it after the fact.

The foreman’s jobs-today card — weather, crew count, an Open Report link, and a missed-day reminder.

History

Every report, numbered and kept.

A submitted report becomes an official, numbered record — not a note in someone’s phone. The History tab keeps every one of them, filterable by job and date, so the day a GC asks about a pour three weeks ago you have the signed report, the crew, and the photos in one place.

Daily Reports History — a dozen locked reports across jobs and months, each with its hours, yards, and photo count.

T&M tickets

Extra work, signed by the GC before the crew leaves.

When the GC directs work outside the contract, the foreman writes it up as a numbered T&M ticket and hands the tablet or phone to the GC’s rep to sign. No carbon copies, and no chasing a signature two weeks later.

T&M, change order or directed extra. One ticket with a type picker, for the project and the day.
Labor, equipment, materials and photos. Straight Time, Overtime and Double Time for every person on it.
Signed, then locked with a number. The GC signs with a finger, and Finish & Lock gives the ticket the project’s next number.
A PDF, an email and a log. The GC and your team get the branded PDF; the office sees Unsigned, Signed and Billed at a glance.

Export & email

The finished report goes out in one tap.

Once it’s signed, it goes out. Export a clean, branded PDF, or email it straight to the project’s contacts right from the Hub. The GC gets the whole day — crew, quantities, delays, T&M, safety, and the jobsite photos — without you printing, scanning, or opening a separate email app.

Email it to the GC — straight from the Hub

Pick who gets it from the project’s contacts — PM, superintendent, whoever’s on the job — or add an address on the fly. The branded PDF attaches automatically (the same file Export PDF produces), and the filed report stays in History.

The integration

The hours only get entered once.

Here’s the part offices love: when a foreman fills in his crew and their hours and submits the report, those hours flow automatically into Manpower Time Tracking for that day. No double entry. If a man works two or three jobs in a day, his hours add up correctly across each report. And your office is always in control — any hours entered or corrected by hand take priority, so a report can never overwrite a manual entry.

Field reporting and payroll hours are the same numbers — so Planning Ops makes them the same entry. Read why the daily report and the timesheet shouldn’t be two jobs →

The report

As much or as little as you want on it.

Turn on the sections that fit how you run — the rest stay out of your foremen’s way.

Crew on site

Every man and his hours, prefilled from the Manpower board so the crew just confirms.

Work performed

The day’s activities, locations, and quantities.

Delays & work stoppages

Documented the day they happen, not reconstructed later.

T&M tickets

The day’s T&M tickets for the job, listed on the report and printed in its PDF.

Safety

Toolbox talks, observations, and injury / incident reporting.

Photos

Snapped right from the tablet; they print in the PDF.

Tomorrow’s plan & daily summary

The hand-off for the next morning.

The back half of a daily report — deliveries, a delay with cause and standby count, Change Order / T&M entries, the safety talk, and tomorrow’s plan.

Build your own report

Turn sections on and off — build the exact report you run.

Every section on the report is a switch in Control Panel — Crew, Equipment, Deliveries, Delays, T&M Tickets, Safety, Photos, the works. Turn off what your crews don’t track and your foremen only ever see the fields that matter to you.

Flip a toggle and both the on-screen form and the branded PDF change to match — so the daily report is shaped around how your company actually runs, not a generic template you fight every day. Set it up once.

Control Panel — Daily Report Sections, with each section a switch: Deliveries toggled off while the rest, T&M Tickets included, stay on.

Roles & control

Who can do what.

Admin

Full access: manages users and settings, works every job, and can reopen and correct any filed report.

Editor

The office role: files and corrects reports for every job and assigns foremen (no account management).

Foreman

Files reports for the jobs assigned to him.

Viewer

Read-only.

Both Admin and Editor can reopen a submitted report to make a correction — so the office always has the final say.

One platform

Another tab, not another tool.

Daily Reports sits right next to Place & Finish, Manpower and Project Schedule — same hub, same login, no new app to learn. Your pour board, your crew planning, the schedule you hand the GC, and your field reporting all in one place.

The difference isn’t a nicer PDF — it’s that the report is wired into the same platform that runs your pours and your crews, so the day you file it does double duty: it feeds payroll, not just a filing cabinet. Filing on paper today? The free daily report template is the printable edition of this form, the five toolbox talks log on it, and the T&M ticket template covers the extra work. Comparing apps?

Daily Reports — common questions

Is Daily Reports an extra charge?

No. It’s included in your Planning Ops plan alongside Place & Finish and Manpower — same $149/mo base, unlimited free viewers.

Do the hours really sync to time tracking?

Yes. When a foreman submits crew and hours, they post to Manpower Time Tracking for that day automatically. Manual office entries always take priority.

Can we turn off sections we don’t use?

Yes — every section toggles on or off, and the form and PDF update to match.

Can a foreman fix a report after submitting?

A submitted report locks, but an Admin or Editor can reopen it to make a correction. Foremen who miss a day can also file it after the fact.

Can we send reports to the GC?

Yes — export a branded PDF or email the report straight to the project’s contacts, and every report is saved in History.

Can the GC sign T&M tickets on site?

Yes. T&M tickets live in Daily Reports, and both get their own tab on iPhone. The foreman writes up the work, the labor, the equipment and the materials, taps Sign & Finish and hands over the device; the GC’s rep types a name and signs with a finger, and Finish & Lock gives the ticket the next number for that project. It goes out as a branded PDF by email, and the day’s report lists it.

Do T&M ticket hours get paid twice?

No. The daily report stays the payroll source: its hours flow to time tracking once. A T&M ticket records which of those hours were extra work, so ticket hours never post to time tracking on their own.
