Time Tracking for Engineers

Engineering projects are billed by phase and won or lost on the accuracy of fee estimates. When time goes unlogged, you lose visibility into where hours actually go - and the next proposal repeats the same underestimate. Sandtime.io lets your team log hours by project and phase from any device, compare actuals against estimates, and pull billing-ready reports without rebuilding the week from memory.

Why Engineers & Engineering Firms choose Sandtime.io

📐

Track Time by Project and Phase

Assign hours to the right project and phase - feasibility, design, analysis, site visits, construction admin - as work happens. See budget burn per phase before you are over.

📱

Log from Office or Site

Log hours from the office, a job site, or a client meeting using any device. No paper timesheets to chase down at the end of the week.

💰

Know Labor Cost Before Billing

Know what each project is costing in labor before you invoice. Catch overruns by phase while there is still time to act on them.

👥

One Account for the Whole Firm

Track time across principals, engineers, technicians, and subcontractors from one shared account. No merging spreadsheets from separate tools.

Common use cases

  • Log hours to the right project and phase as work happens
  • Track time across multiple concurrent projects without mixing hours
  • Compare actual hours to fee estimates after each project phase
  • Pull client billing reports without reconstructing the week
  • Keep engineer, technician, and subcontractor time in one account
  • Export project time data for client reporting and fee negotiations

Key features

One-Click Timers

Start timing the moment you switch to a new project or phase. One click logs to the right job without interrupting work.

Retroactive Time Entry

Add site visit hours, travel time, or review sessions after the fact. Nothing is lost because you forgot to start a timer.

Multiple Projects at Once

Run timers across multiple active projects simultaneously. Each project tracks independently so hours never cross over.

Export and Report

Pull time reports by project, phase, team member, or date range. Export to CSV for fee invoicing, client reporting, or internal reviews.
