Construction crew job sites

Put the right crews in the right place, every shift

Job sites help you assign crews clearly across locations, projects, and work areas. Whether you’re managing multiple sites, buildings, or zones, everyone knows exactly where they’re scheduled to work and what’s expected.

Managers gain a clear view of who’s working where and when, making it easier to avoid overlap, reduce confusion, and keep productivity high across every job site.

Construction crew team messaging

Keep everyone aligned across job sites

Construction crews don’t sit at desks. When updates are scattered across texts and calls, messages get missed. When I Work keeps all crew communication in one place, tied directly to the schedule.

Send messages to individual workers, specific crews, or everyone on a job. Share site updates, shift changes, and instructions without sharing personal phone numbers, so communication stays clear, consistent, and professional.

Free time clock and scheduling apps

A powerful duo for construction crews

When schedules and time tracking live in separate tools, errors multiply fast on construction jobs. Missed punches, overtime surprises, and payroll corrections cost time and money. When I Work combines construction crew scheduling and time tracking, ensuring that hours, job sites, and labor costs remain aligned from the field through payroll.

Control labor costs

Labor costs are easier to manage when you can see them as work happens. When I Work shows where hours are being worked across crews, roles, schedules, and job sites, providing a clear view of how labor is being spent and where adjustments are needed to prevent costs escalating.

Simplify payroll

Payroll runs smoother when timesheets are accurate the first time. Because time tracking is built into the schedule, hours flow cleanly into payroll without manual rework. That means fewer corrections, faster processing, and less end-of-week stress.

Labor budgeting

Construction schedules change constantly. When I Work helps you compare scheduled hours against hours actually worked, so labor budgets stay realistic as crews move between projects and timelines shift. You always know where you stand before payroll closes.

Prevent overtime

Overtime is easier to avoid when you can see it coming. Real-time alerts flag overtime risk while schedules are being built and during the workweek, giving you time to rebalance shifts and reassign work before costs spike.

Break management

Breaks are tracked directly as part of each shift, ensuring consistent records across all job sites. Crews log breaks at clock-out, and managers maintain accurate documentation without having to chase paperwork or manually update records.
