Construction crew scheduling software for job sites and contractors
Schedule crews across job sites, keep crew records and pay rates in one place, and re-route the week when the weather turns - without rebuilding the rota from scratch. Free for crews up to 15.
Construction crews don't run like a retail store
Job sites change every week
This week the crew is on a residential build downtown. Next week three of them are on a commercial fit-out across town. Most schedulers assume one workplace per employee - which means you're maintaining the real schedule in a notebook anyway.
Crew, subs, and casuals on different terms
In-house crew on wages, subcontractors on day rates, casual labour picked up Monday morning - all on the same site, all on different numbers. Reconciling who worked where, at what rate, into something payroll can use eats half a day every week.
Weather and last-minute changes
Pour cancelled because of rain. Crane delivery slipped a day. Subcontractor pulled a crew. The schedule you built on Friday is wrong by Tuesday morning - and the entire crew needs to know now, not when they show up.
Built for crews that move and rules that don't
Construction is field-first, multi-site, and rule-bound. Emplora handles all three from day one.
Multi-site crew scheduling
Schedule each crew member to a specific job site. Reorganise mid-week when the order of work changes - update the shifts and the crew gets notified instantly.
Crew records that travel with them
Job title, employment type, pay rate, and an emergency contact on every profile - the field-office basics in one place instead of a notebook, available wherever you're scheduling from.
Crew, sub, and casual assignments
Distinguish in-house crew, subcontractors, and casual labour with an employment type and pay rate on each profile. The Labour cost report prices the week per person, ready for cost coding.
Mobile-first for the field
Crew leads and field workers see and update the schedule from their phone - no desktop app, no laptop required. QR/PIN access means even casual labour sees their start time the day they're hired.
Re-route the week in two taps
Weather day, delivery slip, or subcontractor pulled? Move or reassign the affected shifts and push notifications go out instantly - everyone knows the new plan before they leave the house.
Hours and no-shows, tracked
Scheduled hours roll up weekly and monthly per crew member, no-shows are marked with one tap, and hours export by site as CSV or PDF for cost coding.
From job-list to crew schedule in an hour
1. Add crew and credentials
Type in your crew, attach their certifications and tickets with expiry dates, and set their rates. New hires onboard in minutes from a phone - no email required.
2. Schedule against your job sites
Add this week's job sites. Drag crew onto the calendar by site. Emplora flags double-bookings and approved time off before you publish - so the plan that goes out is the plan that works.
3. Adapt and notify in real time
Weather, delivery, or scope change shifts the plan. Drag the crew to the new site or day, and everyone affected gets a push notification on their phone within seconds.
Construction scheduling questions, answered
Yes. Each shift can be tagged to a specific job site, and you can move crew members between sites mid-week without rebuilding the schedule. Reporting splits hours by site so cost coding stays clean.
Yes. Every profile carries a job title, employment type (full-time, part-time, contractor), pay type and rate, phone, and an emergency contact - the things a site office actually needs. New hires are added from a phone in minutes, no email required.
Yes. Tag each person's employment type and pay rate on their profile. Hours and labour cost reporting keep the distinction visible per person, so you're not unwinding it manually every week.
Move the affected shifts to another day or reassign the crew, and push notifications go out to everyone affected in seconds. Mark a lost day's shifts as no-shows or delete them so your hours reports stay accurate.
No. Emplora's QR code and PIN-based access means casual and day-rate crew can see their schedule, job site, and start time from any browser without an email or app account. This matters when you're onboarding labour on a Monday morning at 6 a.m.
