Daily logs that protect you when a GC says it never happened. SubTrade’s daily log software captures every shift on a job site — crew, weather, photos, delays, and signed sign-offs — automatically time-stamped and GPS-tagged from your phone. Built for drywall, electrical, HVAC, framing, and every other subcontractor crew that needs bulletproof documentation.
Why subcontractors need a dedicated daily log app
Paper daily logs get lost. Spreadsheet logs get backdated. SMS texts disappear when a project hits a dispute. SubTrade’s daily logs live in a single mobile-first system that your field crew can complete in under 60 seconds — and that you can pull as a PDF audit trail the moment a GC challenges a delay claim or back-charge.
Field-friendly daily reports
Crew check-in, weather, manpower count, materials delivered, work completed, and delays — captured from any iOS or Android device. No login friction, no laptop required.
GPS + timestamp on every entry
Every daily log entry is automatically stamped with location coordinates and a server-side timestamp. There is no way to backdate, fake, or “lose” a log once it has been submitted from the field.
Weather auto-fill
Temperature, precipitation, and wind conditions for the job site are pulled in automatically from the GPS coordinates so your crew never has to type weather data manually — and you have defensible weather evidence for delay claims.
Unlimited photo & video attachments
Attach as many site photos and short videos as you need to each daily log. Every image is GPS-tagged and timestamped automatically — perfect for documenting site conditions, completed work, or unsafe acts.
One-click PDF export
Need to send a week of logs to the GC, owner, or your lawyer? Export a clean, branded PDF package of any date range in a single click.
Frequently asked questions about daily logs
How is this different from a daily report in a notebook or Excel?
Paper and Excel logs cannot prove when or where they were created. SubTrade daily logs are GPS-tagged and server-timestamped the moment they are submitted, which makes them admissible documentation in disputes, change-order claims, and OSHA inquiries.
Can my crew submit daily logs without internet?
Yes. The SubTrade mobile app caches logs offline and uploads them automatically once the device returns to coverage.
Do daily logs integrate with time tracking and change orders?
Yes. Daily logs share crew, project, and cost-code data with SubTrade’s time tracking and change order management so a delay logged in the field can flow straight into a billable change order.
