About

Free Time Platform

Features
Read full description

Free Time Platform — built for construction field operations. Free Time Platform is a complete company management system for mid-sized contractors. The iOS app gives field crews everything they need on site: daily progress entry, safety incident reporting, materials receiving and checkout, equipment requests, and drawing access — without the office-app feel that exists with many Construction Management Apps today. WHAT YOU CAN DO FROM YOUR PHONE • Track daily progress by phase code with takeoff drawing overlays, earthwork zone movements, and labor hours. Submit a complete day's report in under five minutes including weather conditions, visitors, delays, and superintendent notes. • Report safety incidents with severity classification, injured-person details, an interactive 4-view body diagram for marking injury locations, photo capture, and lessons learned. Daily site inspections walk through an 18-item checklist with pass / fail / N/A. • Receive and check out materials with vendor selection, photo documentation, and full transaction history. Link receipts to open purchase orders so the office sees the same data without re-entry. • Request and manage equipment — onsite delivery, off-rent pickup, vendor coordination. Photos and full assignment history travel with each piece. • View project drawings with server-rendered thumbnails for quick navigation. Multi-page PDFs render natively without bouncing to another app. • Last Planner / weekly work plan commitments with Percent Plan Complete (PPC) tracking and variance review. BUILT FOR REAL FIELD CONDITIONS • Multi-factor authentication on every login — no exceptions • Multi-tenant isolation — your company's data stays yours • Designed for spotty job-site connectivity with predictable retry behavior • Native iOS interface, not a wrapped website FOR OFFICE STAFF The full platform — including cost reports, AP/AR, payroll, RFIs / submittals, schedule management, hiring, and finance — lives at app.freetimeplatform.com. The iOS app and web app share the same data in real time. ABOUT US Free Time Platform is operated by Leg Day Development LLC, a Delaware company based in Charlotte, NC. We work directly with our customers to refine the platform. If you're a general contractor evaluating us, get in touch at patrick@legdaydevelopment.com — we'd love to talk.
