Staying organised when your'e busy can be a struggle
Paperwork
Ok, so everyone isn't this bad... but sometimes notes, receipts, orders and the rest can get lost in the chaos that is a busy tradie or builder's life. Wouldn't it be great to keep it all in one place, easy to refer back to when needed? This is all possible with the Construction Diary.
Tech Overwhelm
Tech can sometimes make it hard to enter and find info when you need to. It often needs to be adopted across the board and can be expensive and a bit of an overkill. New tech, apps and subscriptions are great, but sometimes you just want to write s**t down.
Keeping Track
With the day to day, details of jobs and variations, incidents and site conditions can be forgotten or misinterpreted. Safety scenarios can be underestimated if not planned for and disputes can arise for a number of reasons. Another reason to write stuff down...

Northside Building
I have been a builder for over 43 years and these Butler diaries are the best I have used by miles. The ability to complete and record daily tasks is as brilliant.
I wish I had discovered these beauties a long time ago.

I bought this for my son who is a third year apprentice chippy. He loved it. The diary even has a logbook entry for your odometer reading. Outstanding.

Great diaries for our UK landscaping team!
These diaries are great for our guys to log their work activities in. This is our third year of using them and we are very grateful to Butler Diaries for creating an international version as we couldn’t find anything similar in the UK. No more loose pieces of paper or trying to remember who did what on what day!
