Construction scheduling software

Schedules don’t live in isolation — they connect who works, where they work, and how their time gets paid and costed. When scheduling is connected to time tracking, payroll, HR, and your ERP, scheduled hours flow through the system automatically. This eliminates double entry and ensures job costing is accurate.

Miter brings these tools together in a single platform built for construction, making it easier to manage your team, pay workers correctly, and understand true job costs. Our platform integrates with leading ERPs including Sage, Acumatica, NetSuite, and QuickBooks.

Construction scheduling software should flex to your needs. Look for the following features before picking a platform: 

• Simple calendar views that both field and office teams can rely on
• Capability to see and manage schedule changes in real time
• Mobile access for field crews 
• Instant notification features
• Ability to schedule labor and equipment 
• Integrations with ERPs and accounting platforms
• Native human capital management systems
• Integration with time tracking and payroll to improve labor costing accuracy
• Systems that scale alongside job volume
  

The best construction scheduling software is one built specifically for contractors, not adapted from generic planning tools. Miter provides powerful workforce and equipment scheduling software construction teams can rely on. It directly addresses contractor compliance and job costing needs, handling everything from payroll and HR to time tracking and per diems in one place. Spreadsheets, manual data entry, and double booking are a thing of the past.

Miter improves coordination by enabling real-time schedule updates and alerts. If weather disrupts work or an employee fails to show up, you can instantly adjust the schedule and update employees with SMS notifications. Field crews can also check their schedules, clock in, view pay stubs, and request time off with Miter’s mobile app, reducing confusion and calls to HR.

Yes, you can manage unlimited jobs in Miter. It allows you to easily schedule employees across multiple jobs — even on the same day — so it’s no trouble for an employee to work at a downtown office building renovation in the morning and a hospital expansion project in the afternoon. You’ll never lose track of where employees are or how many hours they’ve logged since a single system manages all jobs. One system is easier for your field employees, too. They can check their schedules and clock in for multiple jobs within one mobile app.

Yes, when you make changes to assignments in Miter, the schedule updates for everyone in real time. You can also immediately alert field employees about schedule changes via SMS text notifications.

Miter is different because it dynamically updates the schedule and communicates changes to your employees. Excel and Gantt charts are static and require manual updates. In Miter, scheduling connects directly to time tracking and payroll workflows so teams don’t have to reconcile data by hand later. This difference becomes more noticeable as job volume increases and labor rules become harder to manage with generic tools.

Yes, Miter allows you to send custom messages to your team, whether you want to reach everyone or an individual. In addition to sharing schedule updates, office teams can use Miter’s messaging feature to remind new employees to complete safety training courses, tell a crew where to park, or nudge everyone on a job to drink extra water on a hot day.

Yes, Miter’s scheduling software lets you assign employees to specific jobs and activities (cost codes), matching how construction companies structure work. When employees clock in and out, the software tracks time against activity (cost codes), class, department, and location. This ensures accurate pay, compliant payroll reporting, and detailed job costing. 

When scheduling software integrates with your payroll and accounting systems, workforce planning flows into accurate job costing. With Miter, schedules flow into time tracking, hours flow into payroll, and fully burdened labor costs — including wages, taxes, benefits, and workers’ comp — flow into your ERP for accurate job costing. If your scheduling software isn’t integrated with payroll, it might be time for a new payroll platform.

Yes, companies use Miter’s scheduling software to help meet workforce reporting requirements. With Miter, superintendents can assign employees to the right jobs and projects. This creates a clear audit trail between scheduled hours and actual time worked. Tracking this data means companies meet project, state, and federal-level requirements without spending hours reviewing the books.

Miter automatically detects no-shows by comparing the schedule to clock-ins. If a critical worker or foreman doesn’t clock in on time, the right people get a notification immediately so the day doesn’t fall apart.

Yes. Miter tracks attendance with clear categories like excused absences, no-call no-shows, late starts, and early outs so you always know why someone wasn’t there.

Yes. You can notify supervisors instantly or send daily/weekly summaries when attendance issues occur so nothing slips through the cracks.
