Site Diary: The Walk Is the Daily Record
The diary is due tonight. The route you already walked is the entry, if you kept it.

The site diary is the book the project manager fills in at the end of the day. Weather, who was on site, what moved, what was delivered, what the engineer instructed. Most diaries are written from memory after the photos have already scattered into chats.
Site diary construction
Site diary construction is the daily book on a building site: weather, who was there, what moved, and what was instructed. A construction site diary on this page points at that day’s walk. SpatialSense does not replace a diary form. The walk is the record the entry can open.
Construction daily report
On US projects the same book is the construction daily report. The fields differ by company. The failure is the same: the report describes a floor the writer is no longer standing on. Walk the route once that day. The diary entry points at that walk.
One walk is that day’s page
A helmet walk pinned to the floor plan is the daily visual record. Notes and issues sit on the spots they belong to. The next morning you open yesterday’s walk instead of hunting for the right photo. A weekly progress report compares two of those days. Keep the diary daily and the report weekly.
Hong Kong
Hong Kong public works also keep formal site records, including DWSS and CIC BIM duties. A walk does not submit those forms, and SpatialSense is not a certified DWSS system. The walk is the dated picture you can open in a co-supervision meeting. Read site records for Hong Kong teams before you describe it as anything else.
Frequently asked questions
What is a site diary?
A site diary is the daily record of what happened on site: weather, labour, work done, deliveries, and instructions. UK, Malaysia, Australia, and Hong Kong projects keep one. The US equivalent is often a construction daily report.
What is a construction daily report?
A construction daily report is the US name for the same daily record. It should say what was done today and where, with something a reader can open later. A 360° walk of the route is that record.
Does SpatialSense include a site diary module?
The walk is the record. SpatialSense does not sell a separate diary form that fills itself in. You walk the site, the walk is dated, and that day’s entry is the walk plus the notes you pin.
Can a Hong Kong project use the walk as the daily record?
Yes, as the visual record of the day. Statutory forms and DWSS submissions stay on the systems those rules name. See the Hong Kong site records page for what this is and what it is not.
