Time Tracking Simplified
Stop chasing timesheets.
Start trusting them
Job-tied time capture
Every hour logged ties to a job and cost code with no re-entry and no guessing.
Payroll-ready export
OT rules applied in bulk. Timesheets reviewed, approved, and ready for export to payroll.
Know who's on the clock
See who's clocked in, where they punched in, and on what job before payroll week starts.
From the Field to the Office
Time capture that works
When time is logged on mobile and tied to jobs, the office sees labor costs as they happen. No end-of-week reconstruction, no payroll surprises, no chasing techs for hours.
Track Time Where Work Happens
Bridge the gap between the field and the timesheet with time capture built for the pace and complexity of commercial trades.
Overtime Allocation
Set daily and weekly OT thresholds once. Apply them in bulk across a full pay period without editing timesheets line by line.
Mobile Time Entry
Techs and crew clock in on-site and log time to jobs and projects, right from the mobile app.
From Clock-In to Payroll Export
Same hours, same numbers, every team

"My crew clocks into the project right from the app. Cost codes, phases, time entries — tracked without a daily report. I see what we're logging as the day runs."
Track crew time directly on projects — cost codes, phases, and break times included.
"I clock in, do the work, clock out. Done."
Log hours on mobile — tied to the job, no paperwork.

What makes BuildOps different
Built from the ground up for contractors who run projects, service, and everything in between. Not adapted. Made for the work.
Commercial work isn't an add‑on

Field, office, finance, and sales — all in one place. No duct-taped tools, no double entry, no dropped balls.
OpsAI is built in, not bolted on
OpsAI is already in your workflows. It recaps the day, calls out risks, and gives every role a clear next step.

Your timesheets flow directly to payroll

For contractors with certified payroll, prevailing wage, or union requirements, BuildOps exports clean, structured time data that plugs directly into the payroll system of your choice.
Common Questions
Your time tracking
questions, answered
How does BuildOps time tracking connect to my payroll and ERP system?
Approved time entries flow to your ERP mapped to jobs, cost codes, and labor types — regular, OT, and double time separated and ready for export. BuildOps tracks and organizes the hours. For payroll calculation — including complex OT, prevailing wage, union rules, and certified payroll — BuildOps exports structured time data that works with the payroll platform your business already runs. For QBO/QBD customers, time data exports via file for import into payroll; complex OT rules may require manual adjustment on the QuickBooks side.
Can techs track time on mobile in the field?
Yes. Technicians and crew clock in and out on the BuildOps mobile app — tied to the job, cost code, and phase they're on. Time logs to the right job record so the office sees hours as they build. For project work, field teams can now track time directly on projects — including cost codes, phases, and meal breaks — without going through a daily report.
How does overtime allocation work?
Set daily and weekly OT thresholds once in Labor Settings. BuildOps applies them in bulk across a pay period — no more editing timesheets line by line to split regular and overtime.
Does BuildOps support union and non-union crews?
BuildOps supports basic overtime thresholds and labor type assignments per employee — which works well for contractors with straightforward union and non-union crew structures. For contractors who need certified payroll, prevailing wage calculations, or complex union rule sets, BuildOps exports clean, job-coded time data that integrates with purpose-built payroll platforms.
Can I review and approve timesheets in bulk?
Yes. Supervisors review and approve time entries by employee and pay period. Approved hours lock and flow to payroll — so corrections happen before export, not after. Unapproved, disputed, or reopened timesheets are visible across the team so nothing slips through before payroll closes.
How does time tracking connect to job costing and invoicing?
Every hour logged ties to a job and cost code. Labor costs roll into job reports and T&M invoices — so you see true profitability per job before the invoice goes out.
