construction and maintenance daily log
"A record keeping log book is a tool which provides a consistent, complete form to record daily activities and events. It keeps all work related notes together. It increases credibility in case of a need for arbitration or litigation while a hard bound log book becomes a legal document.
It keeps all notes and records safe for each entire year while it helps organize finance.
A daily log book makes the work of a foreman or supervisor easier and more convenient with secure records of work and information."

The information explains:
'The supervisor will be able to make written entries into the work log book,with observations, orders and technical instructions deemed suitable during the progress of contracted work.
Those acting as supervisors who designate parts and / or substitutes will have to register themselves in the work log book, as planned or prepared in the work log book, clause 4, presently, those who'll have to subscribe to the same test of compliance at work.
The work log book will be kept on the site, by exclusive responsibility with the supervisor, a subsequently numbered book, dated and duly signed in triplicate, the original will be intended for a supervisor.'
Un libro de obra es un utensilio en que se enregistra trabajos y acontecimientos. Suministra un formato consistente y completo en que se enregistran las actividades diarias de trabajo. En el libro de obra se guardan todos los apuntes juntos.
Incrementa la credibilidad en el caso de una necesidad de arbitraje o litigios jurídicos mientras un libro de obra se pone en un documento legal en que se apuntan también las transacciones financieras. Guarda los apuntes seguramente para cada año ente

Discussion
un libro enumerado correlativamente
so your statement puede ser unas hojas de papel alineado en un folleto, en lugar de un cuaderno o un libreto is incorrect.
You also write:
Entre las páginas del libreto se apuntan quienes están presentes cada día en el sitio de trabajo.
No, the libro de obra records only those who are in positions of responsibility. The craftsmen, labourers and other workers will sign a libro de asistencia (might be one for the whole site, or one for each sub-contractor).
You also say:
Con el libro de obra los supervisores se quedan organizados.
That is not the purpose of the libro de obra (and would be of minimal use to that end). It exists primarily to establish who was 'in charge' at the time of any accident, failure to comply with safety standards, with agreed contractual conditions, failure to satisfy relevant standards of construction, materials used, etc., as evidence that can be used in eventual litigation; it also serves to ensure that all those responsible for those matters are properly informed of significant changes affecting the realisation of the works.
