Project time tracking construction site – assign every hour to the right project
How many hours did the crew work on construction site A – and how many on construction site B? Anyone working on a construction site without project time tracking cannot answer this question. With Jobilino, employees book their working hours directly via app to the correct project, lot, or order – in real time, with construction-site-level accuracy and without any follow-up work in the office.
- GDPR-compliant
- Ready to go in minutes
- Project assignment directly on the construction site
Project assignment directly at clock-in
Employees select the correct project, lot, or trade when starting time tracking – every hour is correctly assigned from the very first moment.
Book multiple projects per day
If a crew switches between job sites or orders, a new booking is simply started – all project times remain clearly separated.
Real-time overview of project hours
The office can see at any time how many hours have already been booked per project – as an early-warning system for budget overruns, while the project is still running.
The problem
Without Project Time Tracking on the Construction Site: What It Costs Construction Companies
In most construction companies, working hours are recorded – but not with project-level accuracy. Hours are allocated to a construction site as a lump sum, with no distinction by lot, trade, or sub-order. The result: post-calculations are unusable, profitable and unprofitable projects cannot be distinguished, and customer invoices are based on estimates rather than actual project hours. Without accurate project time tracking on the construction site, construction companies lack the most important control metric for their profitability.
- Working hours are recorded as a flat rate – without assignment to a project, lot, or trade
- Post-calculations only reveal at the end of a project that hours have been exceeded
- Client invoices are based on estimates rather than verifiable project hours
- Crews work across multiple job sites per week – allocating time in the office is done manually
- Profitable and unprofitable projects cannot be distinguished during ongoing operations
- Future quotes are calculated on the basis of inaccurate empirical values
The solution
The Solution: Project Time Tracking on the Construction Site with Jobilino
With Jobilino, employees book their working hours directly via app to the correct project – right on the construction site, not back at the office. When clocking in, the employee or site foreman selects the construction site, lot, or order. Every minute is automatically allocated to the correct project account. The office can see in real time how many hours have been booked per project – as the basis for post-calculation, customer billing, and better quotes.
Post-calculation based on actual project hours
Target/actual comparisons per project become possible automatically – without manual preparation, without guessing about the hours actually worked.
Export for client billing and controlling
Project time data can be filtered and exported by site, order, employee or time period – as verifiable documentation for every invoice.
