Definition
A progress report is a weekly or monthly report of actual against planned progress, work done, labour and plant, issues and decisions needed, with site photos.
Why it matters on a project
It gives the owner an honest picture without visiting site and records the causes of delay that any later time claim relies on.
Common mistake
Writing a report that shows only progress and hides problems, which then surface suddenly near handover.
