The 7 Best HR Software for Construction Companies of 2025

ADP is a big name in payroll software and workforce management solutions. Construction companies of any size will find just as much value in ADP as a tech company, enterprise corporation, or other kind of customer.

In addition, ADP already has many customers in the construction industry. According to their website, they frequently receive feedback from those clients and translate that into useful, construction-specific functionality.

ADP has a few different pricing tiers. Payroll Essentials features only workforce management, tax, and payroll systems. Upgrading to HR Plus adds digital record keeping, analytics, onboarding, and HR tools. Hiring Advantage adds talent acquisition tools. Finally, Performance Plus tops it all off with performance management and compensation management.

The cost of these feature sets depends on the size of your business. Businesses with under 50 employees may qualify for a free first 3 months. You must get in contact with a sales representative for a quote, because pricing is not publicly available.

Intuitive mobile apps, flexible pricing, and one unified platform for job scheduling, communication, reports, training, time clock, and safety make Connecteam one of our top construction HR software recommendations.

What we love most about Connecteam is its employee scheduling tool. You can create crew schedules for specific job sites and share them with job details, materials, equipment, and tasks based on safety certifications—all with this single tool.

You can also manage crew availability, make swaps for delays due to weather or client changes, and ensure employees are on-site with GPS location tracking. Once you approve the crew's hours, timesheets are instantly sent to your connected payroll app.

‍Construction is a highly regulated industry, and Connecteam's compliance efforts are notable: All plans, including the free one, provide multiple compliance features such as GDPR, ISO 27001, and SOC 2. If you’re looking for something more advanced, Connecteam has some good options like SSO, 2FA, and mobile app lock (however, they are available for the Enterprise plan only).

Our main gripe with Connecteam is that they offer very few integration options. Adding to the frustration, API access is limited to just the Enterprise plan.

Another downside we found is that mobile apps lack a dark mode. Given the platform’s frequent feature updates, though, we wouldn’t be surprised to see it launch this feature in a month or two.

36,000+ companies, including Canada’s Restoration Services, Mattest Materials Testing, and Rone Engineering Services.

Connecteam is free for up to 10 users. The platform also offers a free trial without requiring a demo or credit card info. Connecteam paid plans start at $29 per month when billed annually.

BambooHR is an all-around great choice for any company looking to streamline HR processes, and depending on your selected package, recruiting, performance management, time tracking, and even payroll.

The HR Essentials package offers core features like a database for detailed employee information, leave and absence management, an employee self-service module, and more. If most of your workers are on-the-job and don't have access to a desktop computer during the day. BambooHR has a best-in-class mobile app designed for employee self-service, so you can rest assured that your employees can access essential functions at all times.

Among the 20,000+ companies that use BambooHR, you’d find names like Quora, Universal Group, Reddit, Asana, Change.org, University of Maryland, Grammarly, Stance, Postmates, Wistia, the Jacksonville Jaguars, and ZipRecruiter.

Pricing is not disclosed upfront, but they do offer a free trial of their all-in-one software and then go out of their way to find a version that will suit you. Before they come up with a personalized quote that will align with your budget, however, they are also likely to extend your free trial upon request or even give you a free demo of the advanced features.

Arcoro is a supporter of the Associated General Contractors of America (ACG), the leading association for the construction industry that represents more than 27,000 firms. The SaaS company understands the ins-and-outs of the business, so they're well equipped to deal with construction-specific use cases.

Although pricing is not publicly shared, Arcoro advertises a discounted price for ACG members.

Raken is the software of choice for 4,000 general and specialty contractors. Unlike the other software on this list, it is geared towards general construction management. However, that doesn't mean it won't have plenty to offer HR teams.

Raken has top-notch time tracking functionality. It's all done through a well-designed mobile app that includes a self-service portal for employees. In one tap, your HR team can allocate regular hours, overtime, or double hours to minimize the chance for payment disputes.

Sage is a software company with many different solutions, one of which is Sage HR.

Sage HR is a human resource management suite that covers everything from onboarding to expense tracking, to leave management to reporting, and much more. It's an intuitive core HR platform that any construction company will find useful.

Sage HR especially stands out for construction because of the other software its parent company offers, namely Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate. Sage 300 Construction and Real Estate is an ERP with real-time collaboration capabilities for workers on-and-off the job.

While your HR team probably won't need to use it, it's nice to know that Sage as a company understands construction use cases. It also seamlessly integrates with Sage HR, so it's a good choice if you want to keep all of your employee data under one vendor's roof.

We’ve spent time hands-on with Rippling and spoken to real users in the construction space, particularly those in mid-sized firms scaling rapidly. What stood out to us is how well Rippling consolidates critical workforce systems: time tracking, scheduling, job costing, and payroll are all in one place, which minimizes friction and data errors that tend to pile up when juggling multiple platforms.

In testing, we appreciated how Rippling’s automation lightened the administrative load. Once time and job data are logged, they flow directly into payroll, with the system automatically handling expense tracking, PTO balances, and even overtime calculations. For field employees, the mobile app makes it simple to clock in, request time off, and view pay stubs, which can be essential when your team is field-based.

One area where Rippling performs especially well is job costing. During our demo, we simulated allocating labor and mileage across multiple roofing projects. Rippling made it easy to assign costs to jobs in real time and flagged potential overages early, giving construction leaders a chance to adjust schedules or submit change orders to clients.

On the compliance side, Rippling automatically creates and updates overtime and break policies based on the job site’s state laws. We didn’t need to dig through legal manuals or remember which states had different break thresholds, as the construction HR software handled that automatically.

Unfortunately, while the platform itself is intuitive, we should warn you that onboarding can feel overwhelming without a dedicated setup consultant, as there’s a lot packed into the interface.

Support is another area where we saw mixed results. Our basic questions were answered quickly, but more complex issues required escalation, and some users mentioned delays or reliance on AI-based replies that didn’t always solve their problems on the first try.

Notable customers include Cobex Construction Group, Harver, and Emotive.

Rippling’s HRIS starts at $8 per month, and buyers can choose to bundle it with Payroll, Time & Attendance, and Job Costing tools.
