How do I get a daily progress report (DPR) automatically?
An automatic DPR is built from what the team already records during the day: site messages and photos, attendance, material receipts, equipment logs and schedule progress. AI agents collect these, match them to the plan and write the report every evening, so nobody has to type it again and the report is built from the day’s actual records.
What a good DPR should show
- Work done today against what was planned, and cumulative progress
- Labour by trade and by subcontractor, and equipment on site
- Materials received and issued
- Inspections and tests requested and their results
- Instructions and drawings received
- Hindrances, pending approvals and delays
- Weather, safety observations and incidents
- Plan for tomorrow
- Photos and records that back it up
Illustrative case
By 6 pm, the site WhatsApp group has photos of the Level 6 rebar, a message that the concrete supplier has postponed tomorrow’s pour, and a note that the formwork inspection is still pending. The evening DPR records Level 6 rebar progress, flags the postponed pour and the pending inspection as hindrances, and moves the pour in tomorrow’s plan. Nobody typed it. (Illustrative case.)
Why most DPRs fall short
They are typed at the end of a long day, often from memory, by the person with the least time. They become a formality, and the owner learns about problems late.
How AI helps
MIRAGE Shadow OS by NovaKons writes the DPR every evening from the tools your team already uses, and shows what is holding work up, not just what was done.
