Site Diary & Construction
The Construction tab on a job has two views: Site diary for daily records, and Snagging for defects and handover items. The site diary captures what happened on site—visits, weather, work completed, safety notes, and day-to-day records—for the team, clients, and compliance.
Construction tab views
| View | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Site diary | Chronological site logs and photos (this guide) |
| Snagging | Defect register with assignees and status—see Snagging |
Switch between them from the sub-tabs at the top of Construction.
Common actions (online)
- Add entries by date with a short summary and detail.
- Attach photos when your workflow supports images on the entry.
- Review history in chronological order for handovers or disputes.
Onsite / offline (mobile)
On phones and tablets the app supports a practical offline path for diary work:
Install or use the PWA
Add SiteHut to your home screen from the browser Install or share menu where available, so the shell loads quickly on site.
Log the diary when offline
New site diary entries can be saved locally and placed in a queue instead of failing immediately.
Attach photos
Images stay with the queued entry and are uploaded when connectivity returns.
Sync when back online
The app drains the queue and creates the real diary entries on the server. You may see a pending count or sync progress in My Work or the diary flow.
If an upload fails
The entry often stays queued until it succeeds. Retry when signal improves; avoid force-closing the app mid-upload.
Tips
- Post little and often so the diary stays accurate.
- Reference the same job and date structure your team agreed so searches stay useful.
