Log Hours With Ease in Our Time Tracking Software

Construction time tracking software typically ranges from free basic tools with limited features to paid all-in-one platforms. With Houzz Pro, time tracking is included as part of a broader business management subscription — so you're not paying separately for a standalone clock-in app. Instead, your time data connects directly to your estimates, budgets, invoices, and reporting in one place.

For construction and remodeling projects specifically, the best project time tracking software should tie hours to cost codes, project budgets, and reports in real time. Houzz Pro lets you track labor at the task and project level, compare estimated vs. actual costs as work progresses, and pull time billing reports by project, team member, or timeframe. You can also pull daily logs by crew member and use that data to stay ahead of overruns — all from the same platform you use to manage schedules, run invoices, and communicate with clients.

When location services are enabled on the Houzz Pro mobile app, the app automatically detects when you're near a job site and sends a prompt to clock in or out — so your crew never forgets to log hours just because they were heads-down getting started. Projects near your current location also float to the top of your list for quick access. This works within 150 meters (500 feet) of a project location, on both iOS and Android.

Yes. Anyone you add as a team member in Houzz Pro can track time, whether they're a W-2 employee or an individual 1099 contractor who works for you directly. From a single dashboard, you can set hourly rates by person, activity, or project, filter entries by team member or timeframe, and approve or lock time before it goes to billing.

Outside subcontractors you hire for separate scopes of work are handled differently. They don't track time in Houzz Pro. Instead, they get their own Subcontractor Dashboard, which keeps their access separate from your sensitive financial data.

Yes. Houzz Pro's built-in Budget tool gives you a live view of estimated vs. actual labor costs as hours are logged. You can assign cost codes to time entries for more granular tracking by trade or project phase, and see total costs per project, person, or task without any manual calculations. This makes it easier to catch overruns early and back up any billing conversations with a clean, verifiable paper trail.

For accounting, Houzz Pro already syncs financial documents — including invoices, estimates, proposals, change orders, and recorded payments — directly to QuickBooks Online. Time entries can also be exported to Excel for use with other payroll providers.

Houzz Pro is building a direct Gusto payroll integration that will allow approved time entries to sync straight to Gusto — eliminating double data entry and automating state overtime calculations.

Yes, and it takes one click. Once time is logged and approved in Houzz Pro, you can convert it directly into a client invoice without re-entering any data. You can include tracked expenses in the same invoice, mark individual entries as billable or non-billable, and add notes or attachments to any time entry for a fully documented billing record.

Yes. Houzz Pro lets you run multiple stopwatch timers simultaneously — so if you or a team member are splitting time between more than one project in a day, you can track each one separately without stopping and restarting. Each timer is assigned to a specific project, service, and rate from the start, so the data is clean when it comes time to log or invoice.
