A free site record software solution is proving a hit with construction businesses adopting digital working, delivering clear and tangible benefits over clumsy paper-based systems. 

The Site Diary app is a mobile-first tool that enables site managers and operatives to make rich multimedia records on the go in real time, from any digital device. Senior managers benefit from streamlined oversight, allowing support resource to be better targeted. 

Secure online storage maintains accurate records, easily accessible at any time, showing one version of the truth about happenings on site. In contrast, old-fashioned physical record books are only accessible in site offices during working hours. Information is not immediately useful, taking time to find, analyse and use. 

Site Diary makes it simple to record all types of occurrences on site at any given time or date, with data easily comparable in one complete overall picture, such as: progress updates; site conditions and weather records; contractors on site; deliveries received; incidents that occurred; and decisions made and the reasons why. 

Built-in reporting delivers invaluable data insights, especially when needing to evidence compliance for insurance claims, legal proceedings, incident investigations, audits, regulatory reporting, and quality assurance. Time-stamped records are easily findable, showing what was done, when, and by whom. 

Officially launched in March 2022 following the pilot period, Site Diary is completely free of charge for construction businesses to use. It is a fully functional standalone module, but seamlessly integrates with Work Wallet’s wider suite of essential health and safety features, including Accident & Incident Reporting, Audits & Inspections, Permit to Work, and many more.
