Masonry companies deserve better than paper and Excel

You run a masonry company with multiple concurrent construction projects - from foundation work and bricklaying to facade renovation and tile laying. But the administration is eating you up: timesheets from five different job sites, material usage that needs to add up, and quality assurance documentation from mortar beds required at handover.

Many master masons spend evenings and weekends gathering the loose ends. It doesn't have to be that way.

Follow the case progress in real time

Kala's case history makes it easy for both the workers on site and you in the office to manage the case. All posts and photos on the case are synchronized in real time, so you never miss an update.

Features

Full control over your masonry projects

Kala connects the office with the construction site. The workers have the app in their pocket, and you have the overview on your computer.

Time tracking for masons - also on the job site

Your masons register hours and any supplements directly from their phone, distributed across the project's sub-tasks such as bricklaying, plastering or tile laying. Automatic overtime calculation and mandatory time registration is built in, so you comply with the rules without extra administration.

Project management and overview of all construction phases

See all active projects in one dashboard. From facade renovation in Copenhagen to foundation work in Odense. You always have an overview of who is where, and how far along the projects are. Plan your team with Gantt view and move tasks with Kanban boards.

Material management for mortar, tiles and reinforcement

Keep track of what is used on each job site from your automatically imported material catalogue. Scan materials with barcode scanning or register manually. See exactly what each project costs in materials, from clinker bricks to mortar, and avoid guesswork at invoicing.

GPS mileage tracking between job sites

Automatic mileage registration using the phone's GPS when your masons drive between job sites. No manual mileage log - just precise data for tax deductions and billing.

Direct integration with your accounting system

Hours, materials and various supplements flow automatically to e-conomic, Dinero or Microsoft Dynamics Business Central. You avoid double entry and manual transfers from paper to screen.

Quality assurance and documentation from the app

Quality assurance documentation is crucial for masonry. From reinforcement placement to mortar type and jointing work.

 

With Kala you create customised checklists for your masonry work, take photos on site, and collect everything automatically on the project case. Ready for the inspection report.

Mandatory time registration - also for masonry companies

The new Danish time registration law (effective from 1 July 2024) requires all companies - including masonry companies - to systematically register employees' daily working hours. With Kala you are automatically compliant. Start and end times are logged, and data is stored securely for the legally required 5+ years.
