###### payroll and labor costing

# Real-time Job Costing

#### Labor is the largest cost on most construction projects. Trayd connects jobsite activity, time tracking, and payroll so contractors can see real labor costs across projects in real time.

#### **Clear job costing every week.**

###### from jobsite data to project costs

## Job costing built directly from payroll

### Real-time visibility into labor spend

Labor costs flow directly from time tracking and payroll into job costing reports.

Every shift, task code, and rate modifier feeds into project cost tracking automatically.

Know what each project is costing while the work is happening — not weeks later.

### Understand the full labor burden

Labor costs go beyond hourly wages.

Trayd shows the full labor burden for each project, including insurance, equipment, materials, union dues, and other associated costs tied to the work performed.

**Know the true cost of labor on every job.**
