What should be included in a daily diary to support CQM?

• A. Weather data only.
• B. On-site date, weather, workforce, equipment, tasks performed, inspections/tests, NCRs, safety events, and delays.
• C. Employee payroll records.
• D. Approved change orders only.

Answer: (B)

In CQM, the daily diary is the on-site record of what happened each day, tying together conditions, work performed, quality checks, and issues so that the project’s quality and progress can be traced and verified. The best answer includes: the on-site date to anchor the entry; weather and site conditions that can affect workmanship and material behavior; the workforce and equipment used to show who and what was present; tasks performed and inspections or tests conducted to document progress and quality checks; non-conformance reports to capture quality issues and actions taken; safety events to record safety performance; and delays that impact schedule. Together, these elements provide a complete, auditable picture of daily activities and quality control. Weather data alone lacks the detail needed for QA/QC and traceability. Payroll records are not part of the daily quality-management record, and approved change orders alone miss the daily activities, checks, issues, and safety events that drive quality and documentation on the job site.
