The Real Problem

Building Site Attendance Is Still a Mess for Most UK Contractors

Paper timesheets, WhatsApp messages, and manual spreadsheets cost UK construction SMEs thousands of pounds every year — and put them at legal risk.

Paper Timesheets & Spreadsheets

Manual records are error-prone. A 15% error rate on timesheets costs UK construction SMEs an average of £1,500–£2,000 per year in miscalculated wages and disputes.

No Proof of On-Site Presence

Without GPS-verified records, you can't confirm which workers were actually on-site and when — a serious issue for health & safety audits, disputes, and insurance claims.

Working Time Regulations Risk

The Working Time Regulations 1998 require employers to keep adequate records. Non-compliance exposes UK construction companies to Employment Tribunal claims and enforcement action by the HSE.

Building Site Time Tracking

Everything a UK Construction Company Needs to Track Attendance on Site

NoBadge replaces paper timesheets and badge readers with a smartphone app that works on any building site — no Wi-Fi required for clock-in, no hardware to install.

GPS Clock-In on Construction Sites

Workers tap once to clock in. NoBadge captures GPS coordinates and timestamp — anti-spoofing layer prevents false location submissions. Configurable geofence radius per site.

GPS time tracking for field workers

Dynamic QR Code at Site Entrance

Print or display a QR code at the site gate. Workers scan on arrival — the code regenerates every second so it cannot be photographed and shared. Zero hardware, zero cost.

UK Legal Compliance

Working Time Regulations 1998 — Your Construction Business Is Covered

The Working Time Regulations 1998 require UK employers to keep adequate records to demonstrate compliance with the 48-hour average working week limit and rest period entitlements. For construction companies with mobile workforces, this is especially challenging with paper-based systems.

"NoBadge automatically generates timestamped, GPS-verified attendance records for every worker on every site — giving UK construction employers the documentation they need to demonstrate Working Time Regulations compliance."

  • Automated records of start time, end time, and breaks per worker
  • Overtime tracking with configurable alerts when limits are approached
  • Exportable reports ready for HSE inspections or Employment Tribunal
  • UK GDPR compliant — data hosted on EU servers, full data processing agreement available
  • Records retained and accessible for the legally recommended minimum period

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions — Construction Time Tracking UK

Everything UK construction managers and site foremen ask before switching to digital time tracking.

Yes. GPS clock-in uses the worker's mobile data connection, not site Wi-Fi. As long as the worker has a basic mobile signal on their smartphone, they can clock in from any building site in the UK. The QR code method requires a brief data connection to validate the scan, which works on standard 4G.

NoBadge automatically records start time, end time, and breaks for every worker on every shift. These timestamped, GPS-verified records satisfy the employer's obligation to keep "adequate records" under the Working Time Regulations 1998. Reports are exportable for HSE inspections or Employment Tribunal submissions at any time.

Yes. NoBadge supports unlimited sites at no extra cost. Each site has its own GPS geofence and/or QR code. Workers can be assigned to one or multiple sites. The admin dashboard shows attendance across all sites in a single consolidated view, making it ideal for contractors managing multiple projects simultaneously.

No. NoBadge uses a Progressive Web App (PWA) that opens directly in any smartphone browser — Android or iOS. Workers receive a link via WhatsApp or email, tap it, and they're ready to clock in. No app store, no account creation required for workers. Setup takes under 2 minutes per person.

NoBadge uses two anti-fraud mechanisms. For GPS clock-in, a configurable geofence ensures workers can only clock in within a set radius of the site location, plus an anti-spoofing layer detects fake GPS apps. For QR code clock-in, the code regenerates every second, making it impossible to photograph and share in advance. Both methods record precise GPS coordinates at the time of clock-in.

Yes. NoBadge only captures GPS location at the moment of clock-in and clock-out — it does not continuously track workers throughout the day. Data is stored on EU servers, and a Data Processing Agreement is available. This approach is proportionate and lawful under UK GDPR for the legitimate purpose of verifying attendance at work. Workers are informed at onboarding.
