Direct answer: A construction timesheet is how crews record hours by job, phase, and cost code. MSCTIME is construction timesheet software — crews enter time from a phone in about a minute, supervisors approve, and the office exports payroll without retyping paper sheets.

What a construction timesheet should capture

Paper timesheets and group texts lose job codes, overtime, and who approved what. Construction timesheet software keeps one source of truth for the field and the office.

Hours by job

Track labor against the project, phase, and cost code — not a single daily total.

Field entry

Crews submit from iPhone or Android in the browser. No app-store install required.

Approval before payroll

Supervisors review regular and overtime hours before the office exports.

Payroll-ready files

Excel, CSV, and PDF formatted for import into QuickBooks-friendly workflows, Sage, ADP, and Payworks.

How MSCTIME construction timesheets work

  1. Crews enter time on the job site — about one minute per daily timesheet.
  2. Supervisors approve hours so buddy punching and missing codes get caught before payday.
  3. Office exports approved time for payroll and job costing. See integrations.

Construction timesheets vs paper

Paper construction timesheets create a second job for the office: decipher handwriting, chase missing days, and re-key hours. MSCTIME removes that loop. Owners see labor against the job as work happens, not a week later in a spreadsheet.

Software that lets construction crews record hours by job from the field, then gives the office approved, exportable time for payroll and job costing. MSCTIME is cloud-based — no desktop install.
