CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AND INSPECTION: WHAT YOU LEARN IN THE FIELD. - The Daily Report (2nd Edition)

To deliver inspection services that fulfill customer expectations, one must know how to create relevant daily reports. This book is a training tool for writing effective Daily Reports.

With more than 30 years of experience in construction management, the author shares a practical methodology for documenting the Contractor's work from the perspective of the supervisory team. The book is helpful since it explains what inspection teams should discuss when writing daily construction reports. The content in the book is knowledge gained outside a classroom.

The focus of this book is to correctly capture the construction site's everyday operations and important events. However, it also addresses issues that raise the question of whether contractors and inspectors are enemies. Experts use the methodology shown to supervise highway construction, but the knowledge extends to other infrastructure projects.

These pages will greatly aid consultants since their personnel will learn to document the Contractor's progress and anticipate the emerging risk. As a result, they will be more effective in delivering high-quality projects. Moreover, the book is helpful for new inspectors or young engineers who want to learn how to report on roadwork projects. This book helps people accelerate their learning curve to gain the recognition they need to advance in their careers.
