How it works
01
Log the finding
Describe the deficiency, take a photo, and classify the severity. Corrective actions can be created manually or auto-generated from failed inspections or tests.
02
Assign and set due date
Assign the corrective action to the crew member or sub responsible for the fix. Set a due date — reminders go out automatically.
03
Document the fix
The assigned person logs their corrective action and attaches a photo of the completed fix. Status moves to resolved.
04
Verify and close
The supervisor reviews the fix, verifies the corrective action is acceptable, and closes the record. The audit trail is complete.

Common questions
Can corrective actions be auto-generated from inspections?
Yes. When a safety inspection, SWPPP inspection, or QC inspection finds a deficiency, a corrective action is automatically created. The finding details, photos, and location are pre-populated from the inspection record.
What is the difference between a corrective action and an NCR?
An NCR (Non-Conformance Report) is a formal quality deficiency document used on government and DOT projects. In Gradelog, corrective actions can be classified as NCRs and formatted accordingly for submittal to the owner or contracting officer.
How do I know when a corrective action is overdue?
Gradelog highlights overdue corrective actions in the dashboard with a red indicator. You'll also receive in-app notifications and email reminders as the due date approaches and when it passes.
Can subs resolve corrective actions assigned to them?
Yes. If the sub or crew member has a Gradelog account with the appropriate role, they can log their corrective action response, upload photos, and mark it resolved. The supervisor then verifies and closes it.
