Time Tracking and Project Managements for Surveyors
Coretime helps surveying firms capture billable time across site visits, fieldwork, data processing, and reporting, while improving visibility over budgets, expenses, and project profitability.
Where surveying firms lose time, visibility, and margin
When work is split across site visits, field data collection, office processing, CAD modelling, and reporting, it becomes harder to capture chargeable time accurately and keep projects commercially on track.
Billable time gets missed
Capture hours against clients, properties, jobs, or tasks, whether the work happens on site, on the road, or in the office.
Expenses and mileage are hard to keep on top of
Record costs as they happen and link them directly to the right project or client, without chasing paper trails later.
Project performance is difficult to see clearly
Stay closer to budgets, time spent, and profitability with live visibility across active work.

Coretime helps surveying firms bring time tracking, cost control, project oversight, and invoicing into one connected workflow.
Time Tracking
Log time easily across jobs, clients, and tasks, with the level of detail your firm needs.
Expenses and mileage capture
Record travel, receipts, and project-related costs while out in the field or back at base.
Project visibility
See progress, time spent, costs, and overall performance across ongoing work.
Billing and invoicing
Turn approved time and expenses into accurate invoices with less manual effort.
Mobile access
Use the Coretime mobile app to update time, costs, and notes from anywhere.
Reporting and profitability
Track budget vs actuals, time usage, and project profitability to support better commercial decisions.
Designed for the way surveying firms actually deliver work
Surveying teams need more than a basic timesheet. They need a practical way to track work across sites, projects, and phases while keeping costs, budgets, and billing under control.
-
Support work wherever it happens
Capture time, expenses, and notes across field visits, travel, and office-based tasks.
-
Keep project costs connected
Link time, mileage, and expenses directly to the right engagement for clearer commercial oversight.

-
A more joined-up workflow
Bring together time tracking, billing, CRM, and reporting in one connected platform.
Fits into the systems you already use
Coretime integrates with key finance and reporting tools, helping reduce duplicate entry and keep project and financial data connected.
Flexible enough for different surveying workflows
Initial site visits and assessments
Capture time early, spot overruns sooner, and keep the project on track from the start.
Field data collection
Track on-site hours in real time and get earlier visibility when a phase is nearing budget.
Data processing and CAD modelling
Monitor office-based delivery with the same level of commercial control as fieldwork.
Reporting and client delivery
Keep project time, costs, and progress connected through to final output and billing.
Helping surveyors work more efficiently and bill with confidence
Coretime supports firms that want stronger visibility, better control, and less admin across time and billing.

A huge positive for us is the reduction of double entry of information, not having to manipulate information and enter it somewhere else has made such a drastic difference to how we run our business, we can’t imagine not having Coretime now!

Coretime is one of the most important packages within the business and is based on an annual subscription with full cloud access. This is a truly fantastic system and very affordable for a company of our size, it’s a fraction of the cost of some systems such as Autodesk and Microsoft.

For us, the main benefit is that our system is now more user-friendly in terms of project managers being able to access information, such as seeing how a project is performing against budget. They can analyse how time is being spent and what proportion of it is earning fees – it’s easy to translate.

Aircraft Leasing & Management
We have recently purchased Coretime through Onesys and were impressed with their responsiveness to our original enquiry and to our subsequent questions. The process for understanding what the software could do for us was efficient and straightforward, as was the administration involved in setting-up the account and finalising the agreement.

It’s cut the time spent on routine administrative tasks and enabled us to be more efficient, which means we can focus more on the actual projects. We can have around 20 live projects on the go at any one time and if a client wants a breakdown of where the time is going, we need to respond almost instantly.
