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.

HONEYCOMBS IN CONCRETE AND REMEDIES

Image
HONEYCOMBS IN CONCRETE AND REMEDIES Honeycombs  are hollow spaces and cavities left in concrete mass on a surface or inside the concrete mass where concrete could not reach. These look like honey bees nest. When concrete is poured into the formwork it does not just flow in like water and fill up the forms to the top. The concrete has to be vibrated for ease of flow and to form a uniform surface. If it is not vibrated properly it may leave voids exposing the aggregate. The surface on concrete appears as a rough, pitted with voids in concrete resulting incomplete filling with the gap between the aggregates of the concrete against the formwork. Such type of surface and texture on concrete resemblance like a Honeycomb in a beehive of Honey Bee. This scenario can happen on any structural element- Columns, Beams,, Lift Walls, Foundation of any type, etc. Honeycombs which are on sides are visible to naked eyes and can be detected easily as soon shuttering is removed. Honeycombs that are

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.
