• Unanticipated change within a construction project can often pose problems for both contractors and owners, especially where an accumulation of multiple changes leads to other unexpected outcomes.

• Most construction contracts accommodate unanticipated change; however, contractors will often find themselves under strict requirements to provide a quick memo or notice of scope, time, or cost variations associated with such changes. Such conditions may result in contractors failing to adequately calculate the cumulative cost of all of the changes taken together.

• An inequitable consequence then results for contractors who may find themselves unable to obtain total compensation for projects in which multiple changes led to a loss of productivity. As a result, problems arise for both owners and contractors; contractors are required to quantify costs, while owners face the prospect that contractors might overestimate change-costs in anticipation of cumulative effects that may, in fact, never materialize within a project prematurely.

A Single Source of Truth

• DSL (Daily Site Log) are crucial to project managers, but they are often tedious to complete, especially on complex, long-term projects. Still, if problems arise, they can be your best friend.​

• The DSL serves as a living account of what happens on a construction site so you can track issues and problem-solve quickly and efficiently. Best of all, it consolidates all job-specific activities and information, eliminating the need to track down personnel or gather data from different sources.

Protect Your Job from Risk and Delays

• The information in the DSL should be logical, precise, and viable, as you may need to submit it as proof if something goes wrong. DSL records detail day-to-day progress on the job site, allowing all stakeholders access to the project’s status while proactively identifying and mitigating risk. ​

• Skipping the daily construction report or failing to complete it accurately poses many threats to the overall success of your project. The risk of minor issues becoming more significant increases if they are not recognized or documented early enough. Anytime a delay occurs, the DSL highlights the factors that led to it. As a result, there is little room for argument over the details of what happened and why.

​

Improve Collaboration and Interaction

• Communication breakdown is the biggest reason projects fail. The DSL immediately establishes transparency with your crew and your clients. The ability to demonstrate progress clearly and efficiently helps to ease anxiety and increase productivity. As a result, things get done faster and more efficiently, your crew is happier, and so is the client.

Reduce Complexities and Cost Overruns

• Using information logged in the DSL, project managers can easily track the number of hours worked, specific tasks completed, on-site resources, equipment and materials used, any issues that arose, and even the weather.​

• Our project management solutions are user-friendly and easy on the budget. Novologic’s DSL is designed to reduce administrative effort and automate tasks, so you’ve got more time to focus on what you do best.
