Daily Progress Report Generator

Business Case

Problem Statement

Site managers spend hours creating daily reports:

• Manual data collection
• Inconsistent formats
• Delayed submissions
• Missing information

Solution

Automated daily progress report generation from structured site data inputs.

Quick Start

from datetime import date

# Initialize reporter
reporter = DailyProgressReporter("Office Tower A", "PRJ-2024-001")

# Create report
report = reporter.create_report(
    report_date=date.today(),
    weather=WeatherCondition.CLEAR,
    temp_high=28,
    temp_low=18,
    prepared_by="John Smith"
)

# Add activities
reporter.add_work_activity(
    report,
    activity_id="A-101",
    description="Pour concrete slab Level 3",
    location="Level 3, Zone A",
    planned_qty=150,
    actual_qty=150,
    unit="m3",
    crew_size=8,
    hours_worked=10
)

# Add labor
reporter.add_labor(report, "Concrete", "ABC Concrete Co", 8, 10, 2)

# Export
reporter.export_to_excel(report, "daily_report.xlsx")

Common Use Cases

1. Generate Text Summary

text = reporter.generate_text_report(report)
print(text)

2. Track Delays

report.delays.append("Weather delay - rain from 14:00-16:00")
report.delays.append("Material delivery late by 2 hours")

3. Calculate Metrics

summary = reporter.calculate_summary(report)
print(f"Productivity: {summary['total_manhours']} man-hours")
