Simply recording hours for complex construction projects?

When you are working on a large-scale construction or infrastructure project, questions about your timesheet are the last thing you want to worry about. No need to worry. With ClockWise you have an overview at all times: you decide where and when you record your hours, and your hours are submitted automatically to the right people to approve them. An approved timesheet then follows all by itself. Want to know more? Request our demo for construction!

Tracking hours across multiple organisations on construction projects

When you work with several organisations on a large project, you want an independent party for your time tracking. You do not want external parties simply logging in to your network. But you do want to be able to enter your Work Breakdown Structure in such a time tracking system. And to give the right roles and permissions to the partners you work with. With our software, that is possible. You can set up a detailed structure for projects and take the work package breakdown of the project straight into ClockWise. And the great thing is that all the hours spent on these tasks are recorded in one central place. You submit your expense claim in one system, but you can also approve and report hours per work package. This makes the time tracking process much more efficient: there is more control over the progress of a construction project and the costs that go with it.

Experience it yourself

We understand that implementing ClockWise straight away is a big step. That is why we offer ClockWise free for 4 weeks. During those 4 weeks you can use all the features, with the support of our service desk. Want to know more?

Do you recognise this organisational structure?

In large projects in the construction sector, a project is really a company of its own with its own departments. You can use ClockWise in such a way that you can appoint a manager for your project department and report hours per partner or participating company. Would you like to know how to do that in ClockWise? Request a demo or read this whitepaper.

Frequently asked questions

See if your answer is here

Is ClockWise suitable for the construction sector and for working with external parties?

Absolutely. ClockWise is ideally suited to construction projects where several parties work together. You can give different organisations access to the system with separate permissions. That way all the parties involved can record hours, without access to each other's internal network. You easily set up a Work Breakdown Structure and keep everything in one central place. This makes ClockWise an ideal tool for main contractors, subcontractors and project managers.

Can I use ClockWise without transferring all my data?

Yes, with ClockWise you can keep using all your existing systems. You do not have to transfer all your data to the time tracking system; ClockWise works completely independently alongside your current software. This means you can start recording hours straight away, without large implementation or integration processes, while still benefiting from a clear overview, fewer errors and real-time insight into all your construction projects.

What is a pro forma invoice?

A pro forma invoice is a provisional invoice that informs customers about the expected costs of a project before the official invoice is sent. It is not a definitive invoice for the accounts, but it helps construction companies with project planning and budgeting. ClockWise makes it easy to link hours and costs directly to projects, so pro forma invoices can be drawn up accurately and clearly.

What is a Power BI dashboard?

A Power BI dashboard gives a visual overview of important project data and KPIs, such as hours spent, costs against budget, and the progress of teams. By integrating ClockWise with Power BI, construction companies can gain real-time insight into their projects. That way project managers and directors can make decisions quickly and get the best out of their teams.

How do you keep a grip on hours in a construction project with several subcontractors?

In large construction projects with several subcontractors, the overview can be lost quickly. With ClockWise you can link hours directly to projects, tasks and teams. Roles and permissions are easy to manage, so every subcontractor only sees what is relevant. Thanks to real-time dashboards and reports you keep an overview of the hours spent and the budgets, no matter how many parties are involved.

What is a good time tracking system for the construction sector?

A good time tracking system for construction supports complex projects, multiple teams and subcontractors, and offers a simple way to record hours correctly. ClockWise was developed especially for the construction sector: the system can manage projects with dozens to thousands of employees, including multiple companies and complicated project structures. That way time tracking stays clear, error-free and efficient, even in the largest projects.

Why is it important to record hours on a construction project?

Time tracking is crucial for keeping projects within budget and on schedule. It gives insight into hours spent against hours planned, speeds up invoicing and helps to monitor the progress of teams. It is also important for compliance and audits, for example with WBSO projects. With ClockWise you record hours directly against projects, so you always keep a complete overview and avoid errors.

What is reversed billing?

Reversed billing means that the supplier invoices the hours or costs directly to the client, while the internal administration is updated automatically. This process is used more and more in construction to speed up invoicing and prevent errors. ClockWise fully supports reversed billing, so all recorded hours are linked directly to projects and invoices.

How do I bring order to a complicated construction project with different subcontractors?

Order in a complex construction project starts with overview and structure. ClockWise helps construction companies to structure projects and subcontractors, to assign clear roles and permissions, and to record hours, costs and documents centrally. Thanks to reports and dashboards the overview is maintained, so project managers can easily follow how the project is going and where adjustments are needed. This prevents miscommunication and errors, even in the most complex projects.
