Attendance

Accurate labour attendance, straight from the site.

A labour attendance app for construction, with day-wise marking for labour and staff across every site. Mark presence from the field, track overtime, and feed clean attendance data straight into payroll.

In short

buildcontrol's attendance module is a labour attendance app for construction sites. Each person is marked present, absent, half day or overtime from a mobile app, removing paper muster rolls. Attendance feeds directly into payroll.

Problem & solution

What it fixes on site

Paper musters and proxy punches make labour cost impossible to trust. buildcontrol ties attendance to place and time.

Without buildcontrolHow it works today
  • Attendance is kept on paper and retyped into a spreadsheet for payroll.
  • Workers get marked present when they are not on site.
  • Loss of pay and overtime are worked out by hand and often wrong.
With buildcontrolWhat changes on site
  • Attendance is marked in the app and flows straight into salary, no retyping.
  • Each person is marked present, absent, half day or overtime, with the day total building as you go.
  • Salary is calculated from attendance including loss of pay, so the numbers add up.
What you get

Everything in Attendance Management

Built around how site teams actually work, not how software wishes they did.

Day-wise marking

Mark P, A, H or OT against each person and the day total builds as you go.

Labour and staff together

Track daily-wage labour and salaried staff in the same system, with different rules for each.

Overtime tracking

Capture extra hours as they happen instead of reconstructing them at month end.

Contractor-wise records

Group labour under their contractor so contractor payment tracking lines up.

Multi-site movement

Handle crews that move between projects without breaking their attendance history.

Payroll-ready export

Clean labour attendance data flows into HRMS for salary and wage calculation without retyping.

Why it matters

What labour attendance tracking changes on your sites

1

Pay for work actually done

Day-wise records remove the guesswork from muster rolls.

2

Faster payroll

Attendance is already structured, so wage runs take hours instead of days.

3

Fewer disputes

A clear, timestamped labour attendance record settles most arguments before they start.
