Introducing Rhumbix Cost Code-Level Modifiers

Cost Code level modifiers in Rhumbix enable the recording of employee-specific designations for different activities and labor rates within a cost code. This functionality allows for partial day designations, where employees may work on multiple activities with varying pay rates. For instance, a carpenter might spend six hours building formwork, earning a carpenter’s hourly rate, and then two hours cleaning the job site at a labor rate. Rhumbix’s configurability ensures the ability to record such granularity for each employee, resulting in accurate and detailed cost code tracking that can drive the most effective payroll and financial reporting.

Where Standard Cost Code Reporting Falls Short

Cost codes serve as a standardized reporting system, allowing contractors to organize and categorize project expenses. By assigning specific construction tasks and items to a specific code, contractors can gain clearer visibility into the allocated resources of the project. This information is meant to help ensure payroll accuracy, identify potential cost overruns, make informed decisions for cost control measures, and take proactive steps to keep projects on track.

Reporting against cost codes is the foundation for accurate payroll and project performance measurement. However, most construction reporting needs to track cost codes at the frequency, accuracy, and detail needed for large-scale construction projects, which often involve complex structures with numerous activities, tasks, and subtasks. This results in foremen and field teams needing help to capture the required granularity of detail and resorting to broad categorizations that lack specificity. 

Without the ability to capture details like same-day trade and classifications changes and associate them against specific cost codes, construction teams face time-intensive processes for ensuring accurate worker compensation while lacking visibility into key performance measurements.
