Built for maintenance

Every job, on every engineer’s phone.

Employee management for maintenance teams: from a few engineers to a team of thirty across many sites.

Jobs and tasks

Every job with its site, its tasks and who is on it.

Photo proof

Engineers add a photo when a job is done, so you see it without a site visit. Before-and-after photos, checked by AI, on Pro.

Photo proof on Standard and Pro

The rota

Plan the week. Every engineer sees their shifts and gets a reminder.

Clock in on site

Your engineers clock in on their phone, even with no signal. Only within a set distance of the site, if you want.

Distance check on Standard and Pro

Timesheets and payroll

Hours add up from the rota. You approve them, then export them for Xero, Sage or QuickBooks.

Questions from maintenance teams

What maintenance teams ask us.

Can I send a report to the client?

Yes, on Pro. A site report gathers a job’s progress and photos, ready to share with the client.

Does it work in plant rooms and basements with no signal?

Yes. Your engineers can clock in and out with no signal. The times are kept on the phone and sent as soon as it is back online.

Can I see that a job was really done?

Yes, on Standard and Pro. A job can need a photo before it is marked done. On Pro, a before photo too and, if you switch it on, an AI check that says whether the work looks finished.

Do my engineers need to pay?

No. Only the company pays. Your engineers download the app for free on iPhone or Android and join with your invite.

Free for up to 5 people and 2 projects. Standard is £35 a month and Pro £69 a month, for up to 30 people, or less if you pay yearly. Extra people are £4 each a month. Try Standard or Pro free for 14 days.

Build Halt is a workforce management app for the deskless workforce: teams who work on sites, on the road or on the shop floor rather than at a desk. It covers employee management from the rota and clock-in to timesheets, tasks, time off and pay, on a phone or on the web. It is made by Build Halt Limited, a UK company, and is available now on the App Store and Google Play.
