Time Tracking and Project Managements for Environmental Consultants
Coretime helps environmental consultants capture time across field and office work, manage expenses and external costs, support sustainability reporting, and improve visibility over project performance.
Where environmental consultants lose time, visibility, and margin
When work is split across site visits, reporting, analysis, travel, and office delivery, it becomes harder to capture chargeable time accurately, control costs, 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 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.
