The Challenge

Construction operations live across many projects, crews, and sites

Construction companies need to know who worked, where they worked, which project the hours belong to, whether employees were on site, what work was completed, what materials or expenses were recorded, and how that information becomes timesheets, reports, and invoices.

Spreadsheets, paper timecards, and texts can't keep up with multiple active projects, traveling crews, and seasonal labor. Hours get assigned to the wrong job. Materials never make it onto an invoice. Reviewing the week becomes detective work.

Grownu connects scheduling, GPS clock-ins, tasks, photos, project documents, expenses, and payroll-ready records around the project — so every hour and every dollar lines up with the job it belongs to.

Workflow

A project-based workflow for construction teams

Plan project work, assign crews, confirm job-site arrival, collect photos and notes, track expenses, review project records, and export payroll or invoice-ready data.

Crew Scheduling

Schedule crews by project, trade, or job site

Construction schedules follow the project, not the calendar. Plan crews per project, per trade, and per phase — and adjust as the build progresses.

Schedule per project
Anchor every shift to the project it belongs to.
By trade and skill
Match the right craft to each task.
Coverage by phase
Foundation, framing, finish — staff each phase.
Recurring crew templates
Reuse working crews across similar jobs.
Mobile schedule access
Crews see jobs and locations on their phone.
PTO visibility while scheduling
See who is approved to be off before you publish.

GPS & Job-Site Visibility

Live view of who is working at each job site

Construction GPS time tracking confirms that the employee was actually on the job site when they clocked in. Geofencing per project blocks accidental or off-site clock-ins, and supervisors see live coverage across active builds.

  • GPS clock-in / clock-out
  • Geofence per job site
  • Live view of active sites
  • Outdoor and rugged terminals
  • Exception review for off-site entries
  • Records by project and customer

Task & Proof of Work

Task records, comments, and photo-based proof of work

Every job site generates evidence: completed scope, safety conditions, deficiencies, and customer-approved milestones. Capture it all on mobile, tied to the right shift and project.

Per-site task lists
Scoped to each job, not generic to-dos.
Photos as proof of work
Document progress and finished scope.
Safety and condition notes
Capture hazards and resolutions on the spot.
Materials used
Record what went into each task.
Manager review
Approve completed work and resolve exceptions.
Searchable per project
Find any photo, note, or task by project.
Employee task management software
Site Photos & Documentation

Photos, comments, and safety notes from the job site

Documenting completed scope, safety conditions, and on-site issues is part of every build. Crews capture photos and notes from the Grownu mobile app — and everything stays attached to the right shift, project, and task.

  • Time-stamped progress photos
  • Safety and condition notes
  • Per-task and per-site comments
  • Customer-shareable records
  • Reduces disputes about scope
  • Searchable per project

PTO & Coverage

PTO and absences visible before you assign crews

A missed crew member on Monday delays a phase by a week. Grownu shows availability and absences alongside the schedule so the gap is filled before it opens.

PTO requests on mobile
Crews submit time off from the app.
One approval queue
Foremen and PMs approve in one place.
Availability during scheduling
See who's off before publishing the week.
Plan replacement coverage
Reassign crew members across projects.
Reduce site delays
No more morning surprises at the gate.
Audit trail
Every request, approval, and change recorded.
Employee leave management
Documents & Project Files

Project documents and employee access by folder or team

Construction crews need plans, RFIs, SDS sheets, safety procedures, and customer-specific instructions on site. Grownu organizes documents per project, with access by team or role.

  • Organize files by project, folder, or team
  • Share plans and SDS sheets with the right crew
  • Access on mobile, on site
  • Version-controlled site information
  • Customer notes per project
  • Audit trail of access

Timesheets & Payroll

Timesheets split by employee or project

Construction payroll is rarely simple. Split hours by employee, by project, by trade, and by phase — and export records your payroll team can trust.

Hours by employee
Total worked hours per crew member.
Hours by project
Cleanly assigned for job costing.
Per-trade breakdown
Split labor by craft.
Overtime visibility
Spot OT before it surprises payroll.
GPS verification
Every entry tied to a job-site location.

  • Expenses by project and type
  • Materials, rentals, and supplies
  • Add registered work to invoices
