CONSTRUCTION ADD-ON · TRACK

Daily Progress Reporting

Assign the day's work, capture progress from site — even offline — and sign off a clean, dated record back in the office.

Where your data lives. The construction plan never leaves your browser. DPR's captured figures, photos and meter readings are stored on our servers in the region you choose for the project (EU or US), so the office and the field share one record. Confirmed figures sync back down to your on-device plan.

Daily Progress Reporting (DPR) is the Track step of Construction. Your programme and cost plan stay on your device as always; DPR adds a dated, server-stored record of what actually happened on site each day — captured by field staff, confirmed by the office, and fed back into your earned value.

Stage 1 of 4 · Office

Assign the day's work

Give each plan task a named owner for the period — even someone who hasn't joined yet.

What you see

  • The Assign Tasks screen, listing your plan's tasks
  • The current assignee against each task
  • A field-seat invite option by email

What you do

  1. Pick a task and assign it to a named engineer
  2. If they aren't in the app yet, assign by email — they pick it up when they accept the invite
  3. Reassign at any time; one assignee per task

What you get

  • Each engineer sees only the tasks assigned to them
  • A field seat costs less than an office seat and never uses one
  • Pending invites don't consume a seat until accepted
Stage 2 of 4 · On site

Capture progress — works offline

The field app a site engineer actually uses, built to keep working with no signal.

What you see

  • A mobile capture screen for the day's assigned tasks
  • A figure and a short note per line
  • A photo attachment for each line

What you do

  1. Enter today's quantity or percentage against each task
  2. Add a note and attach photos as evidence
  3. Submit the day's report

What you get

  • A sealed, dated submission with a content fingerprint
  • Offline? It queues on the device and syncs automatically when signal returns — nothing is lost
  • Photos stored in your project's region
Heads up. Field capture needs the Daily Progress Reporting add-on and a field (or office) seat. On a shaky signal, submit as normal — the queue handles the rest.
Stage 3 of 4 · On site

Meter readings

Plant and asset meters, read on site and carried forward across days and projects.

What you see

  • A meter-reading screen listing your plant and assets
  • The last reading carried forward
  • Type, or use the on-device OCR and voice helpers

What you do

  1. Pick the asset
  2. Enter the reading (keyed, photographed or spoken)
  3. Submit

What you get

  • A per-asset ledger with usage since the last reading
  • Unusual jumps flagged for review, never blocked
  • A readings trail you can trace back
Stage 4 of 4 · Office

Monitor, confirm and roll up

Where the office turns raw submissions into a figure it will stand behind.

What you see

  • The Monitor screen: submitted reports, a roll-up by task, deviation flags
  • Each report's lines, notes and photos
  • Provisional versus confirmed status

What you do

  1. Review each submitted report
  2. Confirm the figures, or send them back for a change
  3. Watch the roll-up as the period fills in

What you get

  • Confirmed progress syncs down to your on-device plan, so Earned Value stays current
  • A clean, dated, auditable daily record
  • Reviewing and confirming needs an office seat

Seats, and where your data lives

DPR introduces two kinds of seat. Office (full) seats assign work, review and confirm. Field seats are lower-cost, capture-only seats for site staff — they submit progress and meter readings but cannot reach review or monitoring. Inviting a field engineer never uses an office seat, and a pending invite uses no seat at all until it is accepted.

Your construction plan stays on your device (zero egress). DPR's captured record — figures, notes, photos and meter readings — is stored on our servers in the region you choose when you create the project (EU or US). Confirmed figures sync back to the device so the plan and the earned-value numbers stay current. You can request a move between regions later; see the Claims guide's data-residency note, which works the same way.

Improving site-photo recognition — the optional Vision programme

DPR can check a site photo against the type of work, on your device, as it is captured — an assistive prompt to look again, never a block on submitting. That recognition improves over time, and a workspace can choose to help it improve for everyone. It is off by default, and only the workspace owner can turn it on.

When it is on, and only for a photo a reviewer has confirmed, the face-blurred photo is reduced on your device to a numeric fingerprint — an embedding — which, with the confirmed label (for example “rebar fixing”), is contributed to a shared library that sharpens recognition across projects. The photograph itself never leaves the device. The embedding cannot be viewed as, or turned back into, an image, and carries no file, project, client, person, date or location.

Faces are blurred on your device before any photo is sealed, uploaded or embedded. Contributions are kept only while the workspace subscription is active, plus 30 days, and the owner can withdraw the programme at any time — withdrawal purges the workspace's contributions. The full terms are in the Data Processing Agreement.
