Frequently Asked Questions

Photos are the most powerful documentation on a construction project. They prove conditions, progress, compliance, and issues at specific points in time. A well-organized photo log with descriptions and locations is invaluable for disputes, claims, quality records, and project closeout.

At minimum, take daily photos of: weather conditions (weather board), crew safety meetings, overall progress from consistent vantage points, material deliveries, any safety issues or near misses, and quality-related conditions. The required photo checklist ensures consistency.

Photos should be organized by date, then by category (progress, safety, quality, delivery), with each photo tagged with location, description, and direction of view. This template provides a structured log that makes photos searchable and useful months or years later.
