The cost of doing nothing
Your foreman should not be a debt collector.
Most contractors we meet are running a side-hustle in chasing timesheets. That hour every Friday is the cheap version of the problem.
Ghost shifts on the timesheet
Hours that nobody can vouch for, signed off on a Friday because the alternative is paying the team late. Our customers tell us this typically lands as a 3-6% inflation on labour cost — until they switch to swipe-in.
Friday-afternoon payroll panic
Commercial directors making 14 phone calls because three timesheets are missing. Subbies threatening to walk if they are not paid by Tuesday. The same fire, every week.
A CIS deduction you cannot defend
HMRC asks for proof of who worked, when, where. The site folder has half the answer. The other half is in a foreman's WhatsApp. That is the moment you wish you had Chime.
We do not quote a UK-construction-fraud headline figure here because the published sources we have access to (HMRC, Build UK) do not isolate it cleanly. Numbers above are taken from customer interviews. If you want the workings, ask on the call.
How it works
Three things, on every site, every shift.
- 01
Swipe in at the gate
Operatives tap a card or app at the site entrance. Works on ground-level cabins, scaffolds, and refurb jobs without a Wi-Fi signal. No hardware to install.
- 02
Live dashboard, on every site manager's phone
Who is here, who is missing, who is overdue an induction or a CSCS renewal. The site manager sees the same view as the commercial team.
- 03
Hours flow straight to payroll and CIS
No double-entry. No "what does the timesheet say?" Friday afternoon. Hours land in Sage, Xero or BrightPay. CIS deductions are calculated automatically.
“We used to spend the whole of Friday chasing timesheets. Now I know who has been on site by the time I have my first coffee. It just runs.”

Common questions
What site managers actually ask us.
Built for the way UK construction is actually regulated
Built by a team that started on the tools.
Chime was built on a UK construction site, not in a Silicon Valley boardroom. Our founders carried clipboards before they wrote code. That is why the product makes sense to your foreman the first time he opens it.
Ready when you are
See it on a real site, in 20 minutes.
One walkthrough. We will use one of your sites as the example. No deck. If it is not the right fit we will tell you.
If we are not right for you we will say so. We do not believe in pushing software into a business that does not need it.
