5. Share with the client (optional).

Pay attention to the small checkbox at the bottom of the page. Mark it if you want to share it with your client.

Sharing construction daily logs/site diaries with the client is generally considered a good practice. It helps foster transparency, promote effective communication, and keep the client informed about the project's progress.

However, there may be cases when sharing those is unnecessary.

Depending on the agreement and the client's level of involvement in the construction process, they may not require or request access to daily logs/site diaries. If the client has delegated project management responsibilities to the contractor and does not actively participate in day-to-day operations, sharing daily logs/site diaries may not be necessary.

Please note: You can edit or delete your notes from the "Daily Logs/Site Diaries" section anytime. Do this by clicking the three dots under "Actions" and choosing the appropriate action.
