Why BuildTime

Built by Contractors Who Were Done Waiting for a Better Way

We built BuildTime because the timekeeping tools available to union contractors weren’t built for how the work actually happens. Fixing timecards, applying rules manually, and correcting errors after the fact had become part of the job — and it shouldn’t be.

BuildTime is designed to match real contractor workflows:

  • QR code scans for frictionless crew tracking
  • Automatic union rule handling
  • Project and phase tracking beyond start and stop times
  • Integrated and configurable Daily Reports
  • Real-time visibility for supervisors and payroll

The result is fewer corrections, less administrative work, and more confidence in your labor data.
