Procore helps run the project. Drawings, RFIs, submittals, daily logs, job costing, and project management all live in one place. Procore time tracking is part of that picture too, with Timesheets and Timecards that let teams record crew hours against jobs and cost codes right inside the platform.
However, inaccuracies
Geofence time tracking is supposed to close the door on off-site clock-ins. Draw a virtual boundary around the jobsite, and workers can only clock-in when they are physically inside it. Clean, simple and bullet proof. Except it is not.
GPS signals drift. They bounce off steel framing, concrete facades, and
The construction industry averages only around 6% profit per job, according to industry benchmarks from FMI Corporation. At that margin, a single project with untracked labor costs or disputed billing doesn’t just hurt that job. It can erase the profit from two or three others.
Before getting into the
CMiC is a strong construction ERP: accounting, job costing, project management, payroll and more, relied upon by thousands of contractors.
One area that can complement CMiC is accurate time capture and cost code tracking, prior to data entering CMiC. Some contractors track time and cost codes with foreman time-entry solutions
1099 reporting is how a business tells the Internal Revenue Service about the payments it made to people who are not on its payroll, most often independent contractors and subcontractors.
In construction, that work happens on nearly every project, which makes it a routine part of running a compliant business.
The cost of employee absenteeism in construction looks straightforward on paper: one worker doesn’t show up, one worker’s wages aren’t paid for the day. One less pair of hands. Except that’s not how construction works.
On a jobsite with multiple trades working at once, crews are sequenced. One absent worker
Foundation Software does several things well: job costing, payroll processing, project accounting, and more. However, in order for you to effectively manage payroll, hours and cost codes from the field need to be accurate, easy to collect and always up to date.
When time collection depends on foremen manually entering
A construction daily report app is a digital tool that enables field teams to document jobsite activity: workers present, work completed, weather conditions, equipment usage, safety incidents, and photos, then share that information with project managers, GCs, and other stakeholders in an
Timesheet rounding is a common place practice, legal under the right conditions, and simplifies payroll math. But when the process is inconsistent, never audited, or drifts toward favoring one side, it can turn into a compliance liability.
This guide breaks down the rules, shows what proper and improper rounding look
Prevailing wages are a legal requirement that directly shapes how trade contractors price public work, structure payroll, and document workforce hours for public projects.
For subcontractors bidding on federally funded or state-funded construction, understanding prevailing wage laws is essential. Failing to comply with those laws can mean back-pay obligations, fines,
A fully burdened labor rate is the true hourly cost of an employee, including base wages plus all additional expenses required to keep that worker on the job. This includes payroll taxes, workers’ compensation insurance, health benefits, paid time off, training, equipment, and allocated overhead. While base wages might be
Construction productivity rates have barely moved in decades. While manufacturing output per labor hour has grown roughly threefold since the 1950s, construction productivity has largely stagnated; and in many advanced economies, such as Europe and the United States, it’s actually lower today than it was in the late 1960s.
