BST11’s Timesheet app helps architecture, engineering and environmental consulting firms improve the accuracy and efficiency of employee time tracking. Manual timekeeping is error‑prone and burdensome, especially for project‑driven teams managing multiple phases, tasks and billing structures. The BST11 Timesheet app streamlines this process with a web‑based, device‑agnostic interface, provides utilization insights, facilitates easy time entry and editing, enables simple approval workflows and more. By simplifying administrative work, the app supports better project profitability, resource management and fair compensation. It ultimately enables AEC professionals to focus more on meaningful project work rather than timekeeping.
Time Tracking for AEC Teams
For architecture, engineering and environmental consulting firms, their most valuable assets are people and time. Unfortunately, if those people don’t track their time accurately, it can cost firms another valuable asset — money. Besides being time consuming and prone to errors, manual time tracking for AEC projects is complicated as teams navigate multiple phases and tasks, balance billable and non-billable work, and juggle various critical business systems.
For consulting and project-driven firms, timely and accurate employee time tracking is vital for optimizing project profitability and resource management. As a result, dedicated time tracking software has emerged to help organizations streamline the timekeeping process, boost productivity and ensure fair compensation for completed work.
