Hours that land on the right job
Record hours by crew member, by day and by project. Each person carries their hourly rate, so the hours become labour cost against the job rather than a number someone retypes into a spreadsheet at the end of the month.
The problem
Labour is usually the largest line on a renovation or build, and it is the one most often reconstructed from memory. Hours written on a truck dashboard and entered a fortnight later attach to the wrong week, sometimes the wrong job, and the job costing that depends on them inherits the error.
How BuildersBridge solves it
Hours against a job and a day
Each entry carries the project, the crew member, the work date and the hours, with room for a note about what the time went on.
Rates live on the person
A crew member's hourly rate is stored once, so hours become labour cost without anyone applying a rate by hand.
The week at a glance
Entries group by day with a running weekly total, which is the view you need on a Friday rather than a list sorted by entry date.
It feeds crew productivity
Logged hours drive the crew productivity report, so utilisation by member is a report you run rather than a spreadsheet you build.
Frequently asked questions
- Is this a time clock?
- No, and deliberately. Hours are entered against a day and a job rather than punched in and out. A clock needs every worker to remember it twice a day, and on a residential site the honest choice is a fast entry someone will actually complete.
- How does time connect to job cost?
- Each crew member carries an hourly rate, so hours logged against a project convert to labour cost on that job without a separate step.
- Can I track hours for subcontractors?
- Subcontractor cost is better tracked through purchase orders and vendor bills, since you are buying a scope rather than paying by the hour. Time tracking is for your own crew.
- Does it run payroll?
- No. It records hours and labour cost against jobs; it does not calculate deductions, remittances or produce payroll filings. Export the hours and run payroll where you run it now.
