What information is typically included in daily field reports (dailies) used in CQM?

• A. Date, weather, work performed, inspections witnessed, tests conducted, materials delivered, NCRs or hold points, personnel on site, and delays or hazards.
• B. Only weather and date.
• C. Currency exchange rates and supplier contacts.
• D. Client meeting notes and marketing updates.

Answer: (D)

Daily field reports document what happened on site each day, providing a traceable record that supports quality management, safety, and project progress. The key items typically included are date and weather to set the context, work performed to show progress, inspections witnessed and tests conducted to verify quality and conformance, materials delivered to track inputs, NCRs or hold points to flag issues and critical checks, personnel on site to show supervision and coverage, and any delays or hazards that affect schedule or safety. This combination creates a complete, auditable picture of daily activities and quality control efforts.

Other options don’t fit the purpose of the daily field report. Currency exchange rates and supplier contacts belong more to procurement or financial tracking. Client meeting notes and marketing updates are project management or business development items, not part of the on-site quality control record.
