Why Construction Time Tracking is Broken - and How Sundial Fixes It

Construction sites are fast-paced, chaotic environments — with crews spread across multiple job sites, working different shifts. In that complexity, time tracking becomes guesswork, and guesswork leads to costly errors.

Construction managers are up against a perfect storm: inaccurate time reporting due to human error, buddy punching that causes 3–5% of payroll waste, extended breaks and late starts that steal up to 30 minutes per worker daily, and the endless admin hours spent cleaning up manual timesheets. Across multiple job sites and shift patterns, the cracks in your time tracking process add up fast — quietly shrinking your margins.

Efficient workforce management that prioritizes time and cost is paramount in the Construction Industry. This is where Sundial comes in. Sundial's seamless Time Tracking & Attendance capabilities offer a cutting-edge solution to streamline this critical aspect of operations.
