Being daily wage worker does not make one 'excluded employee' under the Act. As pointed out by Manoj Kamble Sir, if their wages are within the wage ceiling then PF Coverage is needed.
Since it is said you are in construction industry (has lot of peripheral activities), were these labourers involved in "in or in connection with the work of the establishment". If there is no nexus between their nature of work and the construction activity then you have a cause to defend otherwise the facts are not in your favour

daily wages workers does not qualify for 15000/- + monthly payout from any single establishment so they have to be covered
