Construct Manage

For any construction company, it is crucial to accurately track employee hours for improving the bottom line. However, efficient attendance tracking is no small feat as instances of buddy punching and other types of time theft in businesses, especially ones with large teams and multiple worksites, are increasingly becoming common. Tracking time and attendance more accurately saves contractors administrative costs and hassles, yet many construction companies choose not to opt for physical clocking systems. The reason is simple: the old school punch clocks fail to keep up with today’s flexible work demands and require significant overheads and maintenance. This is where companies like Construct Manage make a difference. As a tech startup founded in 2020 to modernise and optimise various processes on construction sites, Construct Manage offers its new to market mobile app designed to bring construction companies to the next level. The company’s user-friendly platform aims to improve efficiency and productivity on-site with key features that entail effective attendance tracking with automatically generated timesheets, task management, and file-sharing capabilities. “Our app comes with an easy-to-use QR based attendance tracking system with geolocation check to ensure workers are on siteduring working hours, which improves the productivity and efficiency of construction companies,” says Ryan McManus, Managing Director at Construct Manage.

The QR-based clock in systemgenerates specific QR codes for each site, and workers can scan them with their phones to clock in and out at the chosen site location. Besides, the app enables the construction companies to generate timesheets from the clock-in data with just a click of a button, which can be viewed, shared, and printed off within the app or sent straight to their payroll email. The File Sharing feature enables workers to easily access and store all crucial documents such as drawings, schematics, snag lists, and more.

In fact, site managers can upload a photo and attach a voice note to ensure everything is tracked and recorded. Construct Manage’s easy-to-use Task Management system allows managers and supervisors to plan for the week ahead, assign tasks to workers,and track work progress as it happens. In order to inform workers what needs to be done next, managersand supervisors can add and edit deadlines and priorities to each task. Besides, the app sends instant notifications on events for each task, which allows for quicker decision-making and problem-solving.

Construct Manage offers three different accounts with three different user interfaces and feature sets: Manager, Supervisor, and Worker. “Manager” is a superior account that provides not only all of the supervisors’ capabilities but also allows access to special features such as viewing all tasks, site management, worker management and timesheet generation. Whereas, Supervisors can seamlessly assign task, register sites, view who is on site, plus all of the workers’ abilities. Worker level account is the simplest account that enables workers to clock in, upload files and documents, and effectively respond to tasks assigned to them.
As Construct Manage successfully helps construction companies save money and time by enabling them to streamline everyday operations on-site, the company has been garnering huge traction in the marketplace. McManus recalls the success story of a UK-based company, with over ten sites, that was dealing with dwindling productivity as workers clockedout earlier than the designated time. The concerned civil engineer approached Construct Manage, and the company assisted him in implementing its effective clockin system. Consequently, the workers started staying on-site till six o’clock (the clockout time), which translated into more work completion and enhanced productivity.

Looking ahead, Construct Manage plans to increase its customer base and grow exponentially. The company’s focus is on enhancing the capabilities of its software by adding an online dashboard and other features such as e-signatures aimed to save time and foster more productivity. “Our quest for happy customers drives us all to work hard—an impeccable quality imbibed in our work culture. We actively listen to our clients and analyse their feedback to understand their needs and how we can help them achieve their goals,” notes McManus.
