Know where your project's hours go.
Log hours in seconds, on phone or desktop. Every hour is linked to the right project and phase straight away, so your budget keeps pace as the work progresses.

Time tracking in Buildhive is built-in time and budget tracking for architects, contractors and engineering firms. You log hours manually or by dragging blocks onto a timeline, on phone or desktop, and every hour is linked to a project and a phase straight away. Because your projects are already in Buildhive, there's no manual linking: without any reporting work you see how much time goes into a project and how that compares to the budget.
How it works today.
Hours in Excel, which only works at your desk.
Switching projects all day? Then often nothing gets logged.
Only finding out afterwards that a project went over budget.
How it works.
Hours that actually get logged
Time tracking rarely fails on features, but on friction. Here it takes seconds.
Type or drag
Enter an hour or drag a block onto the timeline. Whatever is fastest at that moment.
On the road and on site
On phone and desktop, for employees and admins. No waiting until you're at your computer at night.
No onboarding project
Your projects are already in Buildhive. You just start logging.
See at a glance where the time goes
Visual overviews instead of the spreadsheet nobody likes to keep up.
Who has filled in
See right away which hours are logged and where the week still has gaps.
Hours per project
How much time sits in a project, without building a report first.
Across all projects
Follow how your team's hours are spread across running projects.
A budget that keeps pace, not one you check afterwards
Set a budget up front and logged hours count against it automatically.
Budget per project
One budget per project, with logged hours right against it.
Tracking per phase
Split the budget across phases, so you see early where it starts to pinch.
With or without phases
Not every project needs that level of detail. Work per phase or simply at project level.
From hours to invoice data, without retyping
Buildhive isn't an invoicing package, on purpose. But your hours become the basis for invoicing.
Invoice data from your hours
Generate the data you need to invoice from the logged hours.
A clean handover
The data goes, structured, to the invoicing or accounting package you already use.
No double entry
Hours don't need to pass through a spreadsheet before reaching your accounting.
Every hour already knows which project it belongs to.
Projects and phases are already in Buildhive. Logging is the last step, not the first of five.
Simple on purpose. A system nobody uses produces no numbers.
Time tracking rarely fails because a system can do too little. It fails because every entry takes too many steps, setup takes weeks or it only works at a desk. Buildhive keeps phases limited, needs no configuration and lets you log in seconds from your phone. Fewer buttons, more hours logged, and finally reliable numbers about your projects.
