Crew Time Clock for Contractors — Real Labor Cost per Job

Real labor cost on every job, not a guess

Crews clock in to a project from their phone the moment they roll up to the jobsite. BuildCrux captures every minute on every project, applies your workspace pay rates and rounding policy, and rolls the labor cost straight into Project Financials and Reports — closing the fourth and last cost category that makes profitability honest. No spreadsheets, no payroll guesswork, no end-of-week reconstruction. Field workers see a 56-pixel live timer and accrued dollars while they work. Office staff see who is on the clock right now, on which project, and what it is costing per hour. Admins set min-shift hours and round-up policy once at the workspace level, and everyone sees consistent billable totals across web, Android, and iOS.

What you get

Crews tap "Clock in," pick a project, and a live 56-pixel timer runs while they work — accrued labor dollars update every second.
Pay rate is captured at clock-in, so retroactive rate changes never rewrite history on closed shifts.
Workspace-wide minimum shift hours (4h residential, 8h union commercial, etc.) and round-up policy (15 / 30 / 60 min) applied automatically at clock-out.
Project Financials show a Labor row alongside Expenses, Mileage, and Sub Payments — the 4th cost category that turns Profit / Loss honest.
Reports → Profitability adds Labor to the costs column for every project; the Labor Summary card breaks down billable hours, total shifts, and labor cost across any date range.
A live "Clocked in now" widget on the contractor dashboard shows every crew member on the clock, on which project, with their accrued dollars updating live.
Admin shift-edit endpoint stamps edited_at / edited_by / edit_reason for payroll audit when a worker forgets to clock out.
12-hour-forgotten-clock-out push reminder pings the worker after 12h with a one-tap clock-out so labor doesn't balloon overnight.
Mobile + web stay in lockstep — "Min applied" and "Rounded" chips show wherever billable exceeds raw elapsed time.
Included on every plan — Solo, Crew, Office, and Enterprise — at no extra cost.
