Construction timesheet app: weekly hours that build themselves

If your crews split their week across three sites, the timesheet is the worst job on Friday. Someone collects scraps of paper, squints at start times, guesses the rate, and types it all into a spreadsheet that nobody trusts. A modern construction timesheet app does that work for you — because the hours are already captured the moment workers arrive and leave.

The problem with paper (and most timesheet apps)

Most timesheet tools still rely on a worker remembering to clock in and out, then someone re-keying it. On a busy site that breaks down fast:

• Start and finish times are rounded, forgotten, or invented after the fact.
• A worker on two sites in one day ends up on one timesheet — at the wrong rate.
• Pay rates live in someone's head, so payroll becomes a negotiation.

The fix is to stop asking people to enter hours at all.

Hours captured from real site presence

In SiteLive, every gate or geofence sign-on is already tagged to a site and stamped with a real time. That means the timesheet isn't entered — it's assembled. Each worker's week is built automatically from their actual arrive and leave times, attributed to the correct site, even when they hit several sites in a day.

Pay the way your business actually runs

No two builders cost labour the same way, so the rates are configurable:

• Hourly or day rate — pick the basis that matches the trade.
• Rates scoped per site, per worker or per trade — a sparky on a CBD tower can sit on a different rate to the same sparky on a fit-out across town.
• Multi-site weeks summed correctly — hours land at the right rate for each location, with no manual splitting.

Approve a week, export for payroll

When the week's done you review the consolidated timesheet, approve it, and export a clean CSV straight into payroll. No re-keying, no version chaos, and a record you can stand behind if anyone ever questions a shift.

SiteLive turns the work your crew already does into weekly timesheets that build themselves — across every site, costed and ready to pay. Subbies you invite confirm bookings free; try it free for 7 days on your first site.
