Why paper timesheets hide the real cost of a site

Timesheets filled in at month end

Today Supervisors write the week's attendance from memory, and the hours that reach the office no longer match the days on site.

With MG Build The site records the crew's day in the site app as it happens, and the hours are on the labour record the same day.

Equipment hours guessed

Today The excavator's hours are estimated when the hire invoice arrives, and owned machines are charged to no project at all.

With MG Build Each machine's hours are recorded per site and day, owned and hired alike, and charged at the rate set for the project.

Crews charged to the wrong project

Today A crew moves between two sites in one day and the whole day lands on the first project, so both budgets are wrong.

With MG Build Each line of the daily record carries its site and cost code, so a split day is charged where the work was done.

Cost reports weeks late

Today Labour and equipment cost is known only when the accountant finishes the month, long after the overrun happened.

With MG Build The day's labour and equipment cost posts to the project budget as it happens, per site, crew, machine and cost code.

What you get

What you get with labour and equipment in MG Build

Which machines worked on each site and for how many hours, whether the equipment is owned or hired.

Rates per project

FAQ

Questions we hear most

Does this replace our payroll?

No. This record charges labour cost to projects and cost codes. Payroll, leave and HR self-service belong to MG HR, which comes with the Business package, or to MG People as a full HR system.

Can we charge hired equipment as well as our own machines?

Yes. Owned and hired equipment are both recorded per site and day with their hours, each at the rate set for the project, so the budget sees the full equipment cost.

What if a crew works on two sites in one day?

The daily record has a line per site and cost code, so the hours are split and each project is charged only for the work done there.

How is MG Build priced, and do we pay per user?

There are no per-user fees. In Kuwait, the Essential package is KWD 45 per month per system with a one-time KWD 100 setup that includes 3 support hours.

Is the daily record available in Arabic?

Yes. The site app and the reports work in Arabic and English with right-to-left layouts, and each user picks their own language.
