What does the 'Field Log' document?

The 'Field Log' serves as a critical tool for special inspectors, documenting their observations and findings during site inspections. This can include notes on the methods of construction, compliance with project specifications, any deviations from the design, and the overall quality of work being performed on-site. The detailed entries made in the Field Log are essential for providing accurate records that can inform future inspections and decisions, as well as for compliance with regulatory and project requirements.

In the context of construction projects, maintaining a comprehensive Field Log allows special inspectors to track issues that may arise, ensuring that they can communicate these findings to relevant stakeholders effectively. This documentation does not cover financial records, materials delivered, or subcontractor progress reports, which serve different purposes within project management and oversight.
