Engineers, land surveyors, architects and other construction professionals usually work outside the office, especially at building sites. To validate their work hours, expenses, and other job-related information, there must be a record produced where a client site representative can sign. A field ticket is a record of job information, such as number of hours worked, amount of expenses, number of hours of equipment usage, by members of a field crew for the day. The field ticket permits a team leader or a senior engineer to enter his and other team members' time against a task for that day. For example, engineers are sent out to a construction site for the day. At the end of the day, the lead engineer or crew chief enters information in the field ticket, either in a remote laptop or in an office computer when he gets back to the company headquarters. Among other details entered in the field ticket would be hours worked by himself and by the other team members, work-related expenses and third party charges incurred while working at the site, supplies used, equipment usage, description of work performed, weather and road conditions, etc. An ideal field ticket should not be modified after it has been submitted and approved. However, a project manager or contractor can have access to change only the number of hours worked and the task performed. Once approved, a timesheet should be generated. Moreover, field tickets should be customized for a certain company. Ticket styles must depend of the type of contracting company, which can be architectural firms, construction companies or surveying businesses.
