Checklist “Recording construction stages in the logbook”
Welcome. Keeping a construction logbook is an important part of controlling the construction process. This checklist will help you properly document all stages of work, ensuring transparency and compliance with building regulations.
Thorough recording of construction stages not only simplifies project management, but is also a legal requirement in some countries, including Italy, where recording stages is important for meeting quality and safety standards.
Keeping the logbook
Regular entries. Record each construction stage with the exact date, time, and responsible person. This helps track progress and, if necessary, identify who was responsible for completed tasks. In Italy, keeping such records is a mandatory requirement to ensure legal transparency and quality control.
Attaching documents. Attach to the logbook entries certificates of completed work, receipts, material certificates, and photos of key stages. Photos must be clear and linked to the corresponding entries to document the work process.
This approach to keeping a construction logbook will help you avoid disputes, speed up approval of stages, and confirm compliance with standards, for example the requirements of the EU Construction Products Regulation (CPR).
Signatures of responsible persons
Quality inspection of works. After completion of each construction stage, organize a quality inspection of the completed work. Acceptance should be carried out by responsible persons such as engineers, site supervisors, or client representatives. It is important that the inspection includes a visual check, testing if required, and verification of compliance with project documentation.
Recording acceptance in the logbook. Record the inspection results in the construction logbook with the date and time. Make sure the entry is certified by the signatures of responsible persons, including contractors. In Italy, this practice is mandatory for all construction sites, ensuring compliance with safety regulations and work quality in accordance with local legal requirements.
This process helps avoid misunderstandings and disputes by documenting responsibility for each construction stage.
