Let’s be honest: managing construction teams can get hectic—managing crews across multiple job sites, tracking project timelines, keeping costs in check, and the constant challenge of keeping track of hours. Who’s working where? For how long? How does it all line up with your budget? It’s enough to make anyone’s head spin!
Now, what if you have an app that tackles all those challenges?
Introducing Quickbase’s Time Tracking Management App
At Quickbase, we understand how important time management is for your business. That’s why we created the Time Tracking Management app to address the real challenges construction teams face almost every day.
Picture this: You’re a project manager busy on a job site. You have multiple workers clocking in and out throughout the day. Knowing how much time each worker spends on specific tasks is important. It helps you see how the project is progressing. If you notice that hours for a specific phase are adding up faster than expected, you can address it immediately. This is the kind of clarity that the Time Tracking Management app brings to your team.

Whether you're tracking hours on a jobsite, need an app to track hours in your fab shop, or want a simple way to connect joint venture employee time across projects, this app is ready to handle it all.
This isn’t just another time tracking software; it’s a purpose-built tool that brings transparency, accuracy, and efficiency to your workflows, all while helping your team work smarter, not harder. Here’s what this app can do for you:
- Real-time Progress Tracking: See exactly where you stand against budget and timeline, down to the minute.
- Detailed Employee Tracking: Regular hours, overtime (OT), and double-time (DT)—all in one place and organized by project phase and cost code.

Smart Time Tracking, Smarter Project Management
Time is money in construction and managing your time means more than just logging hours. It’s about understanding where each dollar and hour goes and making adjustments in real-time to avoid costly overruns. Our Time Tracking Management Pro App is built to do just that.
Think of this app as your personal construction assistant that is always on the job. You know how your best foreman sometimes forgets to submit timesheets, leading to missing hours and delays in payroll?

In a nutshell, this app can help bring visibility to timesheets to makes sure everyone gets paid right, whether for regular hours, OT or DT. Employees can quickly log their time, and it automatically ties the hours to the correct project, job phase, or cost code. It also helps the payroll team locate people very quickly by knowing what jobs they are on and where they have been putting their time,
Reducing Your Daily Grind
Let’s break it down with a few real-life examples. Imagine you’re working on a new apartment complex project:
- Your crews can log their hours right from their phones/tablets/iPads/computers (regular time, overtime, double-time—it’s all there)
- Your foreman can see exactly how many hours have been spent on foundation work compared to what was budgeted
- Your project manager gets instant alerts if any phase is eating up too many hours
- Your accounting team doesn’t have to chase people down for missing timesheet info
And the best part? The Time Tracking Management app is super easy to use, for both you and your construction crew!
