Attendance

Accurate labour attendance, straight from the site.

A labour attendance app for construction, with geo-fenced 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 geo-fenced labour attendance app for construction sites. Workers mark attendance from a mobile app, and a punch only counts inside the site boundary, removing paper muster rolls and proxy attendance. 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.
  • Geo-fencing allows a punch only inside the site boundary, stamped with GPS and time.
  • 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.

Geo-fenced marking

Attendance can only be marked inside the site boundary, so records reflect who was actually there.

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

Geo-fenced, 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.

FAQ

Common questions

Each site has a defined boundary. Attendance can only be marked from inside it, which prevents remote or proxy marking.
Yes. A worker can be marked at whichever site they are on that day, and their history stays continuous across projects.
The app is built for site conditions and is designed to be quick and forgiving on patchy connections.
