Construction labour tracking, by trade

Every trade burns hours differently — the norms, the WBS shape, the failure modes. These pages walk through how WBSync's labour tracking fits specific packages: what to put at each WBS level, which KPIs matter day-to-day, and what the crews actually do on a phone. The earned-value arithmetic underneath is the same everywhere: budgeted hours per activity, spent hours from the crew log or your clock-in system, and S/E, SPI and CPI computed live to PMI / ISO 21508 conventions.

Electrical contractors

Track electrical labour against your BOQ norm hours. Live S/E, SPI and CPI per cost code — containment, cabling, terminations, testing. Free 30-day trial.

MEP contractors

One WBS, every discipline. Track mechanical, electrical and plumbing labour separately and together — live S/E, SPI, CPI per discipline. Free 30-day trial.

Data-centre contractors

Repetitive halls, huge cable volumes, client EVM reporting. Track data-centre labour per hall and per activity with live S/E, SPI and CPI. Free 30-day trial.

Mechanical contractors

Track mechanical labour against welds, metres and test packs. Live S/E, SPI and CPI per system — fab and field hours separated. Free 30-day trial.

Civil contractors

Track groundworks and civils labour by zone and chainage. Quantity-based earned value, re-measure friendly, gang logging. Free 30-day trial.

General contractors

Self-perform labour per element, subcontractor hours without extra seats, one portfolio view across jobs. Live SPI and CPI. Free 30-day trial.

Home builders

Per-plot labour costs and house-type productivity, live. Track gangs across plots, keep extras separate from contract work. Free 30-day trial.

Demolition contractors

Track soft strip and structural demolition labour per floor and building. Discoveries become variations, not lost hours. Free 30-day trial.

Fit-out contractors

Labour tracking that keeps up with a 12-week programme: daily S/E per zone, client changes as variations, every job in one view. Free 30-day trial.

The WBS is trade-agnostic — civil, fit-out, demolition and industrial packages track the same way: budgeted hours per activity, live S/E as the crew logs time. Try it free for 30 days, up to 30 active operatives. No credit card.
