Why You Need to Use a Construction Admin Cost Estimator 

Manual admin tasks are everywhere in a construction business: repetitive data entry, chasing down job statuses, handling payroll, and updating multiple job sheet versions. They’re necessary, but without automation, they’re time-consuming and expensive. 

Our construction admin cost estimator lets you: 

  • Quantify the cost of manual admin tasks in construction 
  • Identify your top time and money drains 
  • Justify investment in construction management software 

What You Can Estimate

The estimator covers common areas of inefficiency, such as: 

  • Repetitive data entry 
  • Managing scheduling changes 
  • Searching for job status or job costing info 
  • Field time entry and data collection 
  • Manual payroll processing 
  • Handling job sheets and documentation 
  • Equipment and inventory tracking 

With just a few quick entries—like hours per week, number of employees, and hourly rates—you’ll get a clear picture of your total monthly and annual costs.

Why This Matters

Every hour spent on admin is an hour not spent building, managing, or growing your business. If your crew spends 10 hours a week on paperwork among 5 people, that’s 520 hours a year. At just $30/hour, that’s $15,600—for one task. 

By using this calculator, you’re not just identifying waste. You’re creating a roadmap for improvement.
