Challenges Faced By Masonry Contractors
Why Masonry Contractors Lose Money Before the Work Even Starts
For most commercial masonry contractors, critical data (installed quantities, crew output, and labor productivity) arrives too late to act on. By the time you get the week’s numbers, you're already behind schedule and over budget.
Zero Real-Time Visibility
Foremen know today’s brick count. Operations finds out next week (if the paper report survives the field).

Delayed Productivity Data
End-of-week reporting means schedule overruns are already buried in the project before you can fix them.

Broken Crew Accountability
Without a connected system, tracking production output relies entirely on manual logs and memory.

Complex Scheduling
Coordinating labor across multiple job sites shouldn't require endless phone calls, texts, and guesswork.

Paperwork Suffocating Foremen
Chasing daily logs and quantity sheets pulls your best leaders away from actually running the crew.

No Single Source of Truth
Time tracking, schedules, and field data live in separate silos. If it's fragmented, it's broken.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Lumber track installed quantities like brick, block, and CMU by crew and project?
Yes. Lumber Productivity Tracking lets you log installed quantities by unit type (brick, block, CMU, wall sections, square footage, or any custom unit) and view production by crew, foreman, project, and day in one dashboard.
How is this different from just using a timesheet or payroll system?
Lumber's Productivity Bundle goes beyond time and payroll. It connects field forms, installed quantity tracking, crew scheduling, and time into a single workflow so operations teams get production data, not just hours worked.
How do foremen submit production data in the field?
Foremen use the Lumber mobile app on iOS or Android to log installed quantities, clock in their crew, submit daily forms, and view their schedule from the job site, without calling the office.
Does Lumber work for contractors with multiple active masonry projects?
Yes. Lumber is built for multi-project, multi-crew operations. Operations leaders can view production, scheduling, and field data across all active projects from one dashboard.
How long does it take to get set up?
Most masonry contractors are live within two to three weeks in Lumber. Our onboarding team configures your forms, production quantity types, and crew roster before you go live.
Do I need to replace my existing ERP/accounting system to use Lumber?
No. Lumber is designed to work with your existing ERP and accounting software - not replace it. We integrate with Procore, QuickBooks, Sage 100, Sage 300 CRE, Sage Intacct, Acumatica, NetSuite, and 20+ other platforms, allowing labor and payroll data to flow seamlessly from the field into your back-office systems without manual re-entry.
Can we track prevailing wage payroll on the same platform?
Yes. Lumber's Payroll module handles prevailing wage, certified payroll (WH-347), union fringe tracking, and tax filing, and sits alongside the Productivity Bundle in the same platform.
Is this built for masonry specifically, or generic construction software?
Lumber is purpose-built for field-intensive specialty contractors. The Productivity Bundle was designed with the production-driven structure of masonry operations in mind and has features such as unit tracking, foreman-led reporting, and multi-crew scheduling.
