One platform, tailored for construction, with built-in intelligence.
Track labor hours with GPS precision.
One check-in per day. GPS geofence validates the job site automatically. Hours sync to project cost tracking in real time. Works in basements, tunnels, and dead zones. The time tracking tool your workers will actually use, because it takes 5 seconds.
See Time Tracking
Workers log time on site. You see the overview instantly, even offline.
Workers won't use complex time tracking apps.
Construction companies either don't track time, relying on gut feeling for labor costs, or force workers to use complex timesheets filled in Friday afternoon from memory. Per-task start/stop apps generate 8+ interactions per day and are abandoned within weeks.

One check-in per day. Worker opens the app, hits 'Start Day.' GPS geofence automatically detects which site they're at. Time entries sync to the project, immediately updating actual vs. estimated hours. Works in basements, tunnels, and dead zones.
Built for construction sites, not office desks.
GPS check-in with geofencing
Workers check in from their mobile device. GPS coordinates are captured. Geofencing validates the correct job site, no manual site selection needed. Works even without cell signal because geofence processing runs on the device itself.
On-device geofence processing (ADR-0018)Task-level time logging
Log time against specific work tasks. Time allocation splits hours across multiple projects. Actual hours flow back to cost tracking for real-time margin visibility. Catch budget issues early, not after the project ends.
Time entries sync to project financialsManager oversight and ArbZG compliance
Work entry corrections for managers. Duration calculator handles business days. Company work schedules define standard hours. Automatic compliance with German labor law: mandatory 30-minute break for shifts over 6 hours, maximum working hour alerts, and rest period tracking.
ArbZG-konform: built for German labor lawBefore Buildlr
- Worker arrives at site. Nobody records the time. Or fills in a paper timesheet at the end of the week from memory.
- Office manager enters handwritten hours into a spreadsheet. Errors and disputes are common. Friday afternoons are lost to data entry.
- At project end, actual costs are 16-28% higher than estimated. Nobody knows why because the data was never accurate.
With Buildlr
- Worker opens the app. Taps 'Start Day.' GPS confirms the job site. Done. Five seconds.
- Hours sync automatically to the project. Manager sees real-time attendance. Geofence works offline, no cell signal needed.
- Actual vs. estimated hours visible per task, per project, in real time. Margin issues caught weeks early, not after the project ends.

Frequently asked questions about GPS time tracking.
Does GPS time tracking work offline?
Yes. Geofence detection runs on the device itself, not in the cloud. Workers can check in even in basements, tunnels, and areas without cell signal. Data syncs automatically when connectivity returns.
Is this compliant with German labor law (ArbZG)?
Yes. Buildlr automatically detects ArbZG compliance issues: mandatory 30-minute break for shifts over 6 hours, maximum working hour alerts, and proper rest period tracking. Work schedules define standard hours per company.
Do my workers need their own phones?
Workers need a mobile device (phone or tablet) with the Buildlr app. One device serves one worker. The interface is designed for construction: large tap targets, minimal interactions, works with gloves.
How does this compare to paper timesheets?
Paper timesheets are filled in from memory, often days later. GPS check-in captures exact arrival and departure times with location verification. No disputes, no manual data entry, no Friday afternoon guesswork.
