Built for the person running the site. Not the office.
Site managers are legally responsible for daily site records. When something goes wrong, a safety incident, a defect, a delay dispute, the daily report is the first document that gets pulled. LARD is a voice-first site diary app that turns daily reporting from a 45-minute chore into a background task. Log events as they happen in 15 seconds. Attach photos directly to entries. Generate the PDF report at end of day with one tap. Built for Australian construction sites. Works offline. Free to try.
The daily report is the site manager's insurance policy
When a subcontractor disputes an instruction. When a safety incident gets investigated. When a client claims work wasn't done to spec. In every case, the daily report is the first document that gets pulled. If it doesn't exist, or it's vague, or it's filled in from memory three days later, you've got a problem.
Contemporaneous records, logged as events happen, carry far more weight than anything reconstructed afterwards. LARD makes that the default, not the exception.
Why most site managers hate daily reporting
Most site managers know why daily reports matter. The problem is the format. End-of-day write-ups take 20 to 45 minutes of writing from memory at knockoff. You're tired. Details have blurred. You just want to get home.
Photos live in the camera roll with no connection to the event they document. Instructions given verbally disappear. Delays get noted in a scribble that nobody can read three months later when the dispute starts.
How LARD changes the daily record
Instead of one big write-up at knockoff, you log as you go. 15 seconds per entry. Voice or camera. Every event timestamped automatically.
- Voice logging: describe what happened in plain language as it happens
- Photo evidence: attach photos directly to log entries with automatic timestamps
- PDF reports: one tap at end of day, the full report generates itself
- Offline-first: works anywhere on site, no signal required
- 15-second entries: fast enough to log between trades, not just at knockoff
The report writes itself from entries you've already made. End of day is one tap, not 45 minutes.
Site manager or site supervisor: LARD works for both
The terms are used interchangeably across Australian construction. Site manager, site supervisor, project supervisor. The recording obligation is the same regardless of the title on the contract. What site records you're legally required to keep
LARD doesn't care what your title is. It cares that you get your daily record done without it eating your evening.
Common questions
Who is responsible for daily site reports in Australia?
The site manager or site supervisor carries the responsibility for daily record-keeping on most Australian construction projects. Work health and safety legislation requires contemporaneous records of site activities. LARD makes this a 15-second task, not a 45-minute one.
Does LARD work without a signal?
Yes. LARD is offline-first. Log events, attach photos, generate reports, all without internet. Everything syncs when you're back in range.
How long does a daily report take with LARD?
About 20 minutes of total capture spread across the day (logging events as they happen in 15-second bursts), then one tap to generate the PDF. Compare that to 20 to 45 minutes of writing from memory at knockoff.
