ATLANTA, Sept. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — BuildTime<\/strong><\/a>, a new workforce management platform built by and for contractors,\u00a0 announced its official launch today at the NECA 2025 Convention & Trade Show<\/strong> in Chicago, September 12\u201315. Attendees can visit Booth #930<\/strong> to see how BuildTime modernizes one of the construction industry\u2019s oldest pain points: timekeeping.<\/p>\n

From Field Problem to Industry Solution<\/strong><\/p>\n

BuildTime was born from the real-world challenges faced by Allison-Smith Company<\/strong><\/a>, one of the nation\u2019s longest-standing electrical contractors. Company leaders realized that timekeeping\u2014a process critical to efficiency and profitability\u2014had barely evolved in more than a century.<\/p>\n

Mark Gallacher, President of Allison-Smith, recalls a moment at the Biltmore Estate in Asheville, NC, where he saw a photo of a foreman holding a time sheet in 1893 that looked nearly identical to the spreadsheets still used today. \u201cThat moment underscored the urgent need for a breakthrough solution,\u201d said Gallacher.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Allison-Smith launched an internal project nicknamed Time Bandit<\/strong> to replace error-prone spreadsheets with a streamlined system. The results were immediate: improved accuracy, fewer compliance risks and faster payroll processing. But leaders also recognized that scaling a technology platform required dedicated software expertise. By partnering with seasoned developers, Time Bandit evolved from an internal tool into a robust platform, delivering a measurable ROI within its first year. By eliminating time sheet recording errors and discretionary <\/strong>timekeeping through the accuracy of the platform, Allison-Smith conservatively estimated a savings of 12 minutes per employee, per week<\/strong>\u2014which more than pays for the cost of the service.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Soon after, the company realized the challenge was universal. \u201cNearly every contractor across the country was facing the same inefficiencies,\u201d Gallacher said. \u201cWe knew we had a responsibility to share the solution beyond our own teams.\u201d That conviction led to the creation of BuildTime<\/strong> as an independent SaaS company serving the broader construction industry.<\/p>\n
