DPR (Daily Progress Report)

A daily report is typically a document prepared by employees to submit to their supervisors. A standard report contains details on how they spent their workday, including any achievements or challenges they encountered. Often, the report also outlines plans for the following workday. A daily report updates a team leader or manager about an ongoing project. It should provide an overview that describes each member's tasks and progress. This saves the time of a daily meeting, but still allows the project to remain on track and keeps the manager well-informed. Reports are often more cost-efficient than a daily conversation. It is also an effective way of finding out which tasks have been completed so the project manager can distribute new tasks discerningly. Daily reports may also be used when it comes time for employee evaluations. A manager can look back at a series of reports to determine how quickly and efficiently work had been completed during a major project.
The contents of a daily construction report may vary depending on the project or organization, but most of them include:
  • Report date and report number.
  • Weather conditions: Rain, temperature, and wind speed; any work or equipment/material deliveries missed due to weather.
  • Physical conditions: Poor soil quality on-site; large rocks or debris.
  • Available resources: On-site staff members, subcontractors, equipment, materials, client representatives, inspectors, superintendents, or other visitors .
  • The number of workers and hours worked.
  • Work completed for the day (project status).
  • Any delays or disruptions that occurred and/or that may occur in the future.
  • Safety, industrial, and/or environmental accidents or incidents: Who they impacted and who was involved, when and where they occurred, the impact on work, and any photos of the event.
One of the most crucial reasons to create daily reports is to ensure against legal cases. Daily construction reports, also known as “daily construction logs,” are the most important piece of evidence used in court if a contract dispute occurs — thus, they’re a requirement for most construction projects. These reports are even more valuable when signed by a client. For example, there may be situations where a client thinks they have overpaid for a project, that there are defects in the construction, or that plans have not been followed properly. Consulting the daily construction logs can clear up these disputes by showing what work was done each day and what the client approved. Reports are also useful in foreclosure actions resulting from mechanic’s liens (when a builder or supplier retains an interest in the title of a property).

3 4 5 METHOD USED IN SETTING OUT

Image
3 4 5 METHOD USED IN SETTING OUT The 3 4 5 method is an accurate method use in Ge tting the Exact Square of a Plan instead of Using the Engineering Square which may not be accurate for a Longer Span.   The 3 4 5 method is an application of the Pythagoras Theorem. i.e Forming right Angle. Most times, 2 or 3 people are involved in this.  3 meters is Measure from the Parallel Line created, then 4 Meter Away from the First point forming a Right Angle, you use your Measuring tape to Confirm the distance between the 3m point noted at the parallel line and the 4m noted at the other line is 5m. Note that your Parallel line remains The same, you only shift the other line to form the right Angle.

Crank Bar in slab

Crank Bar in  slab The slab is supported at two ends. The maximum tensile stress that is positive moments (sagging) acting in the middle of the slab and the maximum compressive stress that is negative moments (hogging) acting at both ends of the support. So bottom steel is required at the mid-span and top steel resists negative moments at the supports. A bent-up bar called a  crank bar  is provided to make RCC slab safe from compressive stresses. So crank bars are generally provided 1. To resist the negative bending moment (hogging). 2. To  resist shear force which is greater at supports. 3. To reduce the risk of brittle failure of slab-column connection. 4. To reduce the amount of steel used. 5. For the economization of materials.

MEASURING BOX USED IN SITE

MEASURING BOX USED IN SITE In volumetric batching of concrete, the ingredients of concrete are measured by their volume before they are mixed for making the durable concrete. The concrete ingredients are measured in measurement boxes of standard size. The measurement boxes are also known as “Farmas” or “Gauge Boxes”. Workers use troughs for the measurement of concrete ingredients on site. But, it is not a proper way to measure the quantity of concrete ingredients for making designed concrete. To ensure the uniformity of proportions and aggregate grading in succeeding batches, the proper and accurate measurement of all the material used in concrete making is necessary. For volumetric batching, it is convenient to make steel or wooden boxes (farmas) of various sizes/ volumes. In an ideal case, the volume of the farma is made equal to the volume of one bag of cement i.e. 35 liters or multiple thereof. The farmas are made comparatively deeper with the narrow surface ra...
