Crews text job updates and photos as work happens. ProBlu turns those field messages into organized daily logs with job context, attachments, weather, PDFs, and shareable records for the office.

Crews can send job updates and photos from a text thread instead of opening another field app.

Captures headcount, hours, materials, and photos without apps. The office gets organized data, not paragraphs.

Daily log FAQ

Common questions about construction daily logs

What is a construction daily log?

A construction daily log is the dated job record for who was on site, what work was completed, what changed, what blocked progress, and what evidence was captured that day.

How do daily logs work in ProBlu?

Crews text job updates and photos to ProBlu. The system organizes those updates into job-linked daily logs that the office can review, edit, export, and share.

Do crews need to install an app?

No. The core daily log capture workflow is text-first, so field users can submit updates and photos from the phone workflow they already use.

Can ProBlu daily logs include weather and attachments?

Yes. Daily logs can include photos, files, job context, and weather snapshots when the job has enough location information to capture weather.

Can daily logs support change-order documentation?

Yes. A strong daily log often becomes the first evidence set for extra work, delays, field direction, and change-order backup.
