FieldLog turns spoken updates from the field into structured, sealed daily records — built for GCs and remodelers running multiple subs and reporting to owners. AI drafts it, you review it, and once it’s submitted, it’s sealed.
Speak the log. FieldLog turns it into a structured record — summary, crew, hours, materials, safety, delays, tasks — in seconds. Built-in trade vocabulary (English/Spanish).
Once submitted, a log is immutable. Corrections happen through a visible, linked amendment — never a silent edit. A clear, timestamped audit trail when questions come up.
Subs file their own crew’s daily activity independently — no relying on memory at the Friday meeting, and no cross-visibility between subs. Scheduled push reminders nudge anyone who hasn’t filed by your cutoff.
Every safety and defect line becomes a flagged issue on the GC’s Home screen the same day, resolved with a note while the sealed report stays untouched.
Spoken commitments — “I’ll finish the panel by Friday” — are drafted into a task with an assignee and due date. You confirm it before it’s created.
Every record gets a frozen weather snapshot at creation — a built-in, unbiased check against delay claims.
Sealed, timestamped one-to-one messages between your team and each sub, with photos and files attached. Auto-translated English ↔ Spanish.
No account needed — owners get a personal link and an emailed code for a branded, read-only portal with the official daily reports, photos, and documents. Raw crew and safety detail stays GC-side.
From voice to a professional daily log in seconds.

Every feature exists to solve a real problem from the field: skipped logs, lost commitments, language gaps, and records nobody trusts. Here’s what changes.
The problemNobody wants to type on a phone in gloves at 4:30 pm, so logs get skipped or written from memory days later.
The FieldLog fixSubs and your team talk through their day. AI turns it into a structured report they review before it’s sealed. A minute of speaking while the work is fresh.
The problemEnd-of-day logs depend on memory, and the delay at 10 am gets forgotten.
The FieldLog fixCrews drop short voice or text updates as things happen. At day’s end, one tap organizes them into a clean report with only the categories that apply.
The problemGeneric dictation mangles jobsite vocabulary, so people stop trusting it.
The FieldLog fixTuned for RFIs, CMU, MEP, backcharge, telehandler, “plafón,” “cimbra” and more, in English and Spanish. Silent recordings are rejected instead of inventing text.
The problemLanguage gaps on site cause misread instructions, rework and safety misunderstandings.
The FieldLog fixLogs, field reports, tasks and messages show in each reader’s own language, with a tap to see the original. The sealed original is never altered.
The problem“Nothing reported” usually means nobody was asked.
The FieldLog fixIf safety, delays or deliveries didn’t come up, the app asks once. A “no” is a recorded answer, so silence becomes data.
The problemSupers spend hours retyping what 12 subs already told them.
The FieldLog fixTap Generate and AI drafts one project-level log from every sub’s field report plus your own updates. It consolidates headcount, merges duplicates and surfaces delays and safety events. You review, edit and submit.
The problemIn a dispute, “who said that?” matters, and so do the gaps.
The FieldLog fixSub-reported lines carry over exactly as sealed. A sub marked on site who filed nothing shows “on site, no report.”
The problemOwners and lenders want one clear answer to “who stands behind this record?”
The FieldLog fixOnly the project’s GC Admin submits the official log.
The problemLogs that can be quietly changed lose credibility in a claim.
The FieldLog fixOnce submitted, a record can’t be edited or deleted through the app. The original voice recording is kept with it. That protects the GC and the sub.
The problemMistakes happen, but rewriting history destroys trust.
The FieldLog fixFix errors with a spoken or typed amendment that sits beside the original, with name and timestamp. Visible, never hidden.
The problemLate sub reports normally disappear into email.
The FieldLog fixA report filed after the day’s log is marked late and shown beside the log, and you’re notified. Mark “no change needed” or amend.
The problemWeather-delay claims fall apart on “it rained, I think.”
The FieldLog fixEach record gets the day’s weather snapshot, and exports include the finalized daily weather. Nobody has to remember or argue about it.
The problemSafety issues buried in paragraph four of a sub’s report get missed.
The FieldLog fixAnything reported under Safety and defects raises a flag on your Home screen the same day. Resolve it with a note; the sealed report stays untouched.
The problemA super with several projects shouldn’t have to open each one to find out which is on fire.
The FieldLog fixSections run most to least urgent: open flags, wind alerts, who has and hasn’t filed, messages to reply to, overdue tasks, and each project’s log status.
The problemCrane-day surprises are an apology after the fact.
The FieldLog fixGet a warning when forecast gusts exceed the project’s own crane wind limit (default 20 mph, adjustable per project), before the crane day.
The problemYou’re texting subs at 5 pm asking where their report is.
The FieldLog fixSet a cutoff time and anyone who hasn’t filed gets a push notification. People who already filed are skipped.
The problemCommitments made in the field and in chat get lost.
The FieldLog fixTurn any line of a sealed record, or any message, into a task with an owner and due date in a couple of taps. Assigned people are notified, and the original never changes.
The problemCompeting trades won’t use a system that exposes their crew or issues.
The FieldLog fixEach sub sees only their own reports and tasks, never another sub’s. Completed tasks show who closed them and when.
The problemSite communication scattered across texts and personal phones is lost, deniable or both.
The FieldLog fixMessages are one-to-one, can’t be edited or deleted, and attach up to 10 photos or files. Flag any message as an issue. It’s part of the project record.
The problemOwners ask for updates constantly, and nobody wants to teach them software.
The FieldLog fixOwners, lenders and consultants get a personal link plus an emailed code. No app, no password. They see official daily logs, photos and amendments, never sub-level field reports.
The problemA lender change or consultant exit shouldn’t mean rotating a shared login.
The FieldLog fixEach viewer has their own link. Revoke one person without affecting anyone else.
The problemCloseout and claims need a complete record.
The FieldLog fixExport a day, a range or the full project as a PDF. Days with no log are printed as “No log filed,” and honest gaps make the rest more credible.
Get early updates, product news, and launch information.
No spam — just the good stuff.
Everything you need to get started. Unlimited seats, no per-user fees, no setup fees. Subs and owners always use it free.

FieldLog was built by Jim Russell, a general contractor, project manager, and commercial cost estimator with 30 years in the construction industry and hundreds of millions of dollars in completed projects behind him. A graduate of BYU's Construction Management program, Jim has spent his career on both sides of the job site — running crews and managing budgets, and standing in for owners who needed a straight answer on where a project stood.
That experience is exactly why FieldLog exists. Daily logs that everyone agreed mattered and no one wanted to fill out. Owners calling mid-afternoon for a status update because they had no other way to get one. Subs who swore they'd submitted their logs — until you went looking and found nothing there. Jim built FieldLog to close that gap: a tool fast enough that crews actually use it, and transparent enough that owners stop needing to call.
$129/month flat (or $1,290/year), up to 10 active projects at a time, unlimited seats, no per-user fees, no setup fee. Subs and owners use FieldLog free. As projects wrap up, switch them to archived status to free up a slot in your 10-project limit.
Self-serve setup, no sales call required: create your account, create a new project, send email invites to all project members, and start logging. You're live the same day.
Voice-first: speak your update in English or Spanish and FieldLog turns it into a structured daily log in seconds.
Yes — every sub files their own crew's activity, with no cross-visibility between subs and no relying on the Friday meeting to piece it together.
Once submitted, a log is sealed, timestamped, and immutable. Corrections go through a visible, linked amendment — never a silent edit.
Yes — anything reported under safety and defects raises a flag on your Home screen the same day, where you can resolve it with a note. The sealed report stays untouched.
Spoken commitments like "I'll finish the panel by Friday" are drafted into a task with an assignee and due date on the review screen. Nothing is created until you confirm it. You can also turn any message into a task with an owner and due date in a couple of taps.
No account or password. Each owner, lender or consultant gets their own personal link and confirms with a code emailed to them, so a forwarded link opens nothing. They see the official daily logs, photos, documents and amendments, never sub-level field reports, and they can export what they can see. Viewers use it free. The link works while the project is active and stops when it's archived or when you remove that person. You can cut off one person without affecting anyone else.
Submitted records are sealed: they can't be edited or deleted through the app, and the original voice recording is kept with them. Corrections go in as linked amendments with a name and timestamp. Every line shows who reported it, late reports are shown beside the log, and every record carries a frozen weather snapshot. That gives you a clear record if a question comes up.
Raken is the closest tool to what FieldLog does. FieldLog adds voice-to-AI structured logs, English ↔ Spanish auto-translation in logs and messages, sealed records, push messaging between GCs and subs, automatic safety flagging, and a dedicated no-login owner portal — all at a flat $129/mo with no per-user fees.
Yes — FieldLog auto-translates between English and Spanish in both daily logs and messaging, so crews can speak their language and your office reads it in theirs.
Yes — messages are one-to-one between your team and each sub's people, sealed and timestamped, with up to 10 photos or files per message and auto-translation between English and Spanish. Subs never see each other's messages, and you can flag any message as an issue or turn it into a task. Nothing gets lost over text or email.
Seats are unlimited and included. Add GC admins, team members, and read-only viewers, and invite all your subs. Subs and owners always use FieldLog free — only the GC subscribes.
Yes — set a cutoff time for each project and FieldLog sends a push reminder to anyone who hasn't filed yet. People who've already submitted are skipped.
AI drafts it; you own it. Tap Generate and FieldLog builds one project-level log from every sub's field report plus your own updates, consolidating headcount and surfacing delays and safety events. You review, edit and submit. Only the project's GC Admin submits the official log, so there's one accountable author.
It's marked late and shown beside the log, and you're notified. You can mark it "no change needed" or add an amendment. Late reports don't disappear into email.
Your Home screen runs from most to least urgent: open flags, wind alerts, who has and hasn't filed, messages to reply to, overdue tasks, and each project's log status. Wind alerts compare forecast gusts to each project's own crane wind limit (default 20 mph, adjustable).
Yes. Export a single day, a range or the full project record as a PDF. Days with no log are printed as "No log filed," so the record is honest about its gaps.
Yes, in English and Spanish. Transcription is tuned for terms like RFI, CMU, MEP, backcharge, telehandler, "plafón" and "cimbra," and silent recordings are rejected instead of producing invented text. You review everything before it's sealed.
Owners and other viewers see the official GC daily log as written. Auto-translation covers logs, field reports, tasks and messages for your crews and your team.
Prices shown are before sales tax, which is added where applicable.
Your sealed records stay securely stored for as long as you're subscribed. You can download everything and close, or move to the Archive plan ($15/month or $150/year) to keep your projects read-only and accessible. If you cancel outright, your records stay viewable and exportable for 90 days, with reminders along the way, then are permanently deleted unless you reactivate.
