How AlFikree Transformed Labour & Payroll Management With BuildSuite HR
AlFikree Contracting is a UAE-based construction company employing over 100 labourers across multiple projects. With multiple active sites, the company needed a reliable system to manage attendance, overtime, leave, and payroll. Everything was previously handled manually.
AlFikree Contracting LLC is a UAE-based construction company known for delivering high-quality residential and commercial projects. Operating under a G+4 contracting license and backed by ISO-certified processes, the company executes civil, MEP, and finishing works with a strong focus on safety, craftsmanship, and on-time delivery. Their projects are supported by a disciplined workforce deployed across multiple active sites.
The Challenge
Before adopting BuildSuite, AlFikree managed its entire workforce using Excel sheets and physical forms. This created constant delays, duplication, and confusion.
Manual Attendance
Attendance was marked on Excel sheets sent by supervisors. Any correction or mismatch required endless calls and back-and-forth between the site team and HR.
Leave Management on Paper
Workers submitted leave through forms or verbal updates. HR had to manually reconcile leave forms, site registers, and Excel sheets — leading to frequent conflicts and errors.
Complex Overtime Structures
AlFikree followed multiple overtime rules:
Normal OT
Bonus hours
Site-specific OT rates
Project-based special OT
All of these were calculated manually every month, increasing the risk of errors and disputes.
Payroll Was Fully Manual
Payroll preparation meant checking Excel attendance, leave forms, WhatsApp updates, and OT logs. It took several days each month and involved constant data corrections.
Security Deposits & Handover Not Tracked
Security amounts, ID cards, PPE handovers, and employee exit details were handled through separate files, making the process slow and inconsistent
The BuildSuite HR Solution
AlFikree partnered with BuildSuite to digitize their entire labour and payroll workflow. The implementation replaced every manual step with an automated, unified system.
Real-Time Attendance from Site
Supervisors now mark attendance directly from the BuildSuite mobile app, including present, absent, half-day, OT, and bonus hours. No more Excel sheets.
Automated OT & Bonus Calculations
All overtime rules were configured inside BuildSuite. The system now calculates normal OT, bonus hours, and special OT automatically during payroll.
Digital Leave Workflow
Engineers raise leave requests for workers in the system, and HR approves instantly. No physical forms, no confusion.
Payroll in Minutes, Not Days
BuildSuite automatically prepares the salary based on attendance, OT, BH, deductions, allowances, and adjustments. What earlier took 4–6 days now finishes within hours.

What AlFikree Says
BuildSuite enabled AlFikree to move from a completely manual system to a seamless, digital workforce management process.
“Before BuildSuite, our entire labour management was manual Excel for attendance, forms for leave, and calculations for payroll. The different OT structures made it extremely difficult. BuildSuite automated everything and made our process faster, accurate, and stress-free.”
