Whether you are managing a small crew or coordinating dispersed teams across many job sites, delivering successful projects comes down to effectively managing people and empowering them to be at their productive best. With Construct Crew Time, an easy-to-use cloud-based app, your construction crews can accurately track and record hours logged (timesheet entry) and monitor productivity. Having access to real-time data accurately notifies about time spent on each job and project, which can help project managers calculate the true cost of work. The addition of the latest features allows users to enter timesheets against multiple trade codes and union codes for an employee timecard. Similarly, a re-designed main screen allows users to enter time for employee hours, equipment usage, and phase quantity/productivity. Also, users can now change 'job', 'person assigned', or a 'weekly date' right on the NEW dashboard. Addition of a NEW expense tab would increase foreman efficiency.
