10- Setup Your People, Skills and Hours
Step 4/8

Put hours where they belong

Log hours against projects and fabrication

Why this step

An hour belongs to a task, and the task belongs to a project. Logged that way it becomes a cost on a tower; logged as "Tuesday" it becomes nothing at all.

What this does

Tracks daily hours spent by design draftsmen, factory fabricators, and installation teams against specific Project tasks, feeding direct job labor costs directly into project P&L ledgers.

Before you start

  • Active project tasks assigned to employees.

Common mistakes

  • Logging bulk weekly hours on generic placeholder tasks instead of specific customer project codes.
  • Approving unverified overtime hours without supervisor site log validation.

Checkpoint

A week of hours can be read as cost per project, without anybody reallocating them afterwards.
