Labour applications in Chalkstring

Does this sound familiar?

Processing labour fortnightly is a time-consuming admin task.

It's difficult to establish if labourers are over-claiming or just making mistakes.

It's hard to keep track of dayworks and variations.

We receive labour claims in many formats, which makes them hard to collate and cross-check.

It's often not clear what works are being claimed for. There are many fact-finding conversations.

We can't see if we're over or under our labour budget, until the end of the project.

Yes?

Chalkstring can help. 

How it works

Input labour claim

Issue your labour bill to your subcontractor and ask them to fill in the completed measures and/or time. On receipt, add the claim to Chalkstring.

Review against progress

Chalkstring automatically cross-checks the claim against both the rates & measures in the live project scope and the recorded progress.

Approve or investigate claim

Easily identify if the subcontractor claim can be approved and paid. Or, establish whether you need to investigate overbooking or a claim error.
