What is the difference between a site report and a construction diary?

A site report (Bautagesbericht) covers a single day on the construction site. A construction diary (Bautagebuch) is the collection of all daily site reports for an entire project, forming a complete chronological record.

Who is responsible for writing the construction site report?

Typically the site manager (Bauleiter) or foreman is responsible. For projects supervised by an architect under HOAI service phase 8, the architect must maintain documentation. With docubau, anyone on site can submit entries via WhatsApp.
