Archdesk

Construction Time & Attendance Software

Hours in. Cost on the project. Same day.

Crews clock in against the project and task, GPS-verified on site. Every hour is priced automatically with your real rules: rates by location, activity, overtime and risk, and lands on the budget the same day. Productivity you see weekly, not at payroll.

Hours captured once, then payroll and job cost follow

Construction timesheet software connects site hours to project cost by pricing each clocked hour as it is recorded and allocating it to the project, task and cost code it was worked on. Archdesk verifies clock-ins with GPS, applies your real rates for location, activity and overtime, and lands crew costs on the budget the same day.

No Friday spreadsheet chase

Crews clock in on mobile with GPS verification or a QR code at the gate, so the hours exist the moment they are worked, not when someone types them up.

Crew cost visible while the job is live

Every hour is allocated to its project and cost code as it lands, so budget against actual is on the dashboard the same day, not at month end.

Hours you can trust at payroll

Multi-level approvals built for construction hierarchies, with mobile sign-off and digital signatures, keep the data clean before it reaches payroll.

Payroll from the same numbers

Custom cost calculations apply overtime rates, rates by state or region and other compliance rules as hours are approved, so payroll starts from numbers the project already trusts.

Every hour priced with your real rules

Rates by location, activity and overtime apply automatically as hours land, so the cost of a crew is a fact on the project the same day, not a payroll surprise weeks later.

Time Tracking

Hours recorded against site, project and cost code as they happen. Overtime and breaks are tracked automatically, so nobody reconstructs the week on a Friday.

Cost Allocation

Every hour lands on the project, package and cost code it was worked on. Budget against actual by cost line is live while you can still act on it.

Approval Workflow

Timesheets route through the approval chain your business actually has. Supervisors sign off from a phone, and overtime raises its own alert.

Custom Rate Calculations

Custom cost calculations price every hour with your rules: overtime rates, rates that differ by state or region, and other compliance requirements. Payroll starts from clean, approved numbers.

Frequently Asked Questions: Construction Timesheets

How do crews record their hours on site?

Crews clock in on a mobile device with GPS verification, or scan a QR code at the gate, so the hours exist the moment they are worked. Time is recorded against the site, project and cost code, with overtime and breaks tracked automatically, so nobody reconstructs the week on a Friday.

How do recorded hours become cost on the project?

Every hour is priced automatically with your real rates: by location, activity and overtime. It then lands on the project, package and cost code it was worked on, so budget against actual is visible on the dashboard the same day, not at month end.

How are timesheets approved?

Timesheets route through multi-level approval workflows built for construction hierarchies. Supervisors sign off from a phone, digital signatures are supported, and overtime raises its own alert, so the data is clean before it reaches payroll.

Can timesheet data feed payroll?

Yes. Custom cost calculation rules apply overtime rates, rates that differ by state or region and other compliance requirements as hours are approved, so payroll starts from clean, approved numbers the project already trusts.

Does Archdesk track subcontractor hours too?

Yes. Subcontractor time is tracked alongside your own crews and allocated to the same projects and cost codes, so the full crew cost picture per job sits in one place.
