“When did they ask us to absorb the temporary works cost?”
The minute, the speaker and the words — from the filed transcript.
Microsoft Teams chat and meeting recordings
The decision was made on the call. Now it’s on the record.
Dayfile files your Teams chats and the transcripts of recorded meetings against the right project and the right company — alongside the email. The change agreed on a Tuesday call sits next to the quote that followed it.

Why it matters
More gets agreed on Teams than in email — and none of it used to be filed.
Progress meetings, design team calls, a quick chat to a site manager. That is where instructions get given, changes get waved through and prices get “sorted out later”. It rarely makes it into an email, and it never made it into an email management system.
Dayfile treats a recorded meeting like any other piece of correspondence: it works out which project it belongs to, files the transcript, and pulls the commitments out of it. A Teams chat where someone said “go ahead” is filed against the job the same way.
Honest limits: meetings need to be recorded for the transcript to exist. Unrecorded calls aren’t captured.
00:12:40Client PM — …so the temporary works for the crane pad, we’ll need those in before the 22nd.
00:13:05Your site manager — That’s not in the programme, we’d need to bring the scaffold forward.
00:13:22Client PM — Understood. Contractor to absorb the cost of the additional temporary works, we can’t take a variation on this one.
00:13:40Your site manager — I’ll need to take that back to commercial.

What gets filed
Chats, meetings and what came out of them.
Teams chats
One-to-one and group chats about a project, filed to that project. The “can you crack on with Level 3?” message sits next to the instruction that should have followed it.
Meeting transcripts
Recorded Teams meetings are transcribed and filed. Every line is timestamped and attributed, so a line from a meeting can be found and quoted the same way as a line from an email — with its context.
Commitments and actions
What was promised, requested or agreed in the meeting is pulled out and shows up in folder summaries and Monday’s report — with the timestamp to prove it.
Filed by company too
A meeting with the client lands in the client’s company folder as well as the project’s. Ask “what did we agree with Ashworth Homes in August?” and the transcript is the answer.
Nothing to install
Teams comes through the same read-only Microsoft 365 connection as email. No plug-in, no change to how anyone works.
Work only
The same rules apply: non-project chat is left out, sensitive conversations are restricted, and you decide who sees which folders.
Ask Dayfile
“What did the client say about the crane pad?”
Because transcripts are filed like everything else, you can ask about them in plain English and get the answer with the timestamp.
Check for follow-up
“Did we ever confirm that in writing?”
Dayfile looks across email, Teams and WhatsApp and says “nothing found” if there isn’t one.
Catch up on a meeting
“Summarise Thursday’s progress meeting.”
What was agreed, what was asked for, and what’s still open — for the people who weren’t there.
Build the timeline
“Show me everything on the crane pad.”
Email, meeting and WhatsApp in date order, with the transcript quoted at the right point.
