In a director’s own words
The biggest issue we had was payroll, timesheets and how we record the data. With Chime we have now removed the hundreds of phone calls and endless timesheets and we know the data is accurate and verified.

Frequently asked
Common questions
- What is Chime?
- Chime is construction workforce management software used by 422 UK contractors and 61,000+ operatives. It runs the time and attendance, RAMS and method statements, site inductions, payroll-ready timesheets, CIS deductions, and compliance records that construction businesses need to operate safely and pay correctly.
- Who uses Chime?
- UK construction contractors — main contractors, specialist sub-contractors, civil engineering firms, fit-out specialists, MEP contractors — and the 61,000+ operatives who work on their sites. Customers range from 25-person sub-contractors to multi-thousand-headcount tier-1s.
- How long does Chime take to roll out?
- Most customers are live in days, not months. Operatives download the app on their own phones — no hardware to install, no SIM cards to manage, no IT project. The Chime team handles configuration and the first round of inductions; from that point your foreman and ops manager run it themselves.
- Does Chime work on sites without Wi-Fi?
- Yes. The Chime mobile app works fully offline — operatives can clock in, sign RAMS, complete inductions, and submit forms without signal. Data syncs automatically when the device reconnects, so tunnels, basements, and remote groundworks sites are covered.
- How does Chime handle CIS and payroll?
- Hours signed off in Chime flow straight into Sage, Xero, BrightPay, and IRIS. CIS deductions, RTI exports, and CITB levy returns are calculated by the system. Your payroll lead reviews and approves; no re-keying of timesheets, no spreadsheet juggling.
- Is Chime compliant with UK construction H&S regulations?
- Yes. Chime supports the inductions, RAMS distribution, toolbox talks, near-miss reporting, and incident audit trails required under CDM 2015 and HSE guidance. Records are timestamped, GPS-stamped where appropriate, and exportable for HSE audits.
- How much does Chime cost?
- Pricing is per-operative-per-month, transparent, with no per-module upsells. There is no hardware cost (operatives use their own phones), no setup fee on standard deployments, and no long contract — see /pricing for the current bands or book a demo for a tailored quote.
- Who is Chime built by?
- Chime was created by people who have worked on UK construction sites — not a Silicon Valley startup repurposing a generic SaaS template. Every feature is designed for the practical reality of building work: muddy gloves, broken signal, bilingual gangs, late-changing schedules.
