Guide

How to calculate the real hourly cost of a construction worker

A step-by-step example for moving from gross annual salary to the real productive hourly cost, including contributions, holidays, bonus months and overheads.

Glossary

Hourly labour cost

The hourly cost of a construction worker is the real cost the company incurs for one hour of work, including pay, contributions and ancillary charges, not just the simple hourly wage.

Feature

Construction timesheets, without the paperwork

Construction time tracking records the hours each worker spends on each job. With archim the site manager logs the crew's hours from a phone at the end of the day: those hours immediately become job cost and the basis for payroll and invoicing, with no paper timesheets.
