For brickwork & masonry subcontractors

Manage site labour one day at a time.

PM360 turns the daily site diary into live labour control. Your PM logs what was laid in about ninety seconds — and the app does the man-day maths, so you can see exactly where every job stands while there's still time to do something about it.

One count, entered once. The site works in bricks and blocks; the business reads it in man-days and margin.

The problem

Labour is your biggest cost — and the hardest to see.

On a brickwork package, the difference between profit and loss is how well the labour is managed against what was priced. Yet most PMs are flying blind until it's too late to change the outcome.

No time

PMs are stretched across gangs, materials, scaffold and drawings. Tracking man-days against allocation is the first thing that gets dropped — there's never a spare hour for it.

Invisible until handover

How a job is really tracking only becomes clear in the final cost report — by which point the money is already made or lost, and nothing can be done.

Disruption quietly absorbed

Short-manned days, late materials, scaffold not struck — the reasons a job slips go unrecorded, so recoverable time is never claimed back.

Reports eat the evening

Reporting progress back to the business means piecing the week together from memory and scraps — time that should be spent running the site.

How it works

A daily diary that does the man-day maths for you.

Five steps, one source of truth. The PM enters a single count each day; everything else is generated from it.

1

The QS sets the rates

Your company's agreed outputs — say, 100 blocks a day per bricklayer — convert every area's priced work into a bank of allocated man-days.

2

The PM builds the site

Add bricklayers, labourers and hod carriers, form gangs, and put them on the work — all in the everyday language of the site.

3

Log the day — 90 seconds

At the end of the day the PM records what was laid, who turned up, and anything that held the job up. That's the whole task.

4

See where you stand

The PM sees man-days remaining for each area — a countdown that says whether there's enough labour left to finish, and flags it early when there isn't.

5

The report writes itself

The weekly report and the commercial picture assemble from the diary automatically. Review, and send — no number entered twice.

Built around who does what

The same data, shown the right way for each person.

The site team never sees costs or margin — just the work in front of them. The commercial detail is reserved for the people who need it. One system, two lenses.

Why it pays

Getting more out of your teams, measurably.

PM360 doesn't just record what happened — it changes the outcome, because problems surface while there's still time to act on them.

Problems surface in days, not at handover

A short-manned or slipping area is flagged while you can still move a gang or add labour — instead of appearing in a cost report weeks too late.

Disruption gets claimed, not absorbed

Late materials and short-manned days are logged as they happen, so recoverable time is captured and claimed rather than quietly lost.

Hours of reporting handed back

The weekly report assembles itself from the daily diary. Minutes to review and send — time returned to actually running the site.

Sharper pricing on every job

Real measured outputs feed back to the QS, so future tenders are priced on what your teams actually achieve. The advantage compounds job after job.
