Can Automating Time and Material Management in Construction Lower Your Blood Pressure?
As someone who has spent years working on large-scale construction projects—both in the military and here in the U.S.—I’ve seen firsthand how outdated methods like pencils and paper can slow down progress. Time and material (T&M) management in construction is no longer about keeping track of numbers on a clipboard; it’s about precision, speed, and clarity. That’s why I took on the challenge of transforming cost management in construction as the CEO of Rhumbix.
In today’s world, where profit margins are razor-thin, the push to the cloud is accelerating, and labor shortages are making project timelines tighter than ever, digitizing T&M isn’t just an option—it’s a necessity. By moving away from paper-based systems, we can reduce stress for owners, general contractors, and trade professionals alike.
If you’re in construction, you know all too well that T&M is one of the most frustrating parts of the process. It’s not just about tracking hours or materials—it’s about managing change. And change is inevitable. Whether it comes from an owner requesting something new, field issues arising during installation, or those last-minute “rhut-rows†at the end of a project, these disruptions need to be handled quickly and efficiently.
But change doesn’t have to be so difficult. At Rhumbix, we believe it’s time to leave the old ways behind. Letting go of paper and the delays and errors it brings is the first step toward smarter, faster, and more accurate T&M. Automation is the future of construction—and it’s time we started embracing it.
Thanks to our recent integration with Autodesk BIM 360 Cost Management, it’s now easier than ever to digitize T&M. This powerful partnership allows users to streamline their workflows, eliminate manual data entry, and improve transparency across the entire project lifecycle.
Watch the video below to see how the Rhumbix integration works in action:
With this integration, Rhumbix offers a seamless, cloud-based solution for managing time and material tags. Users can now access real-time data, track changes, and get approvals faster—all through a centralized platform. For example, details like hours, equipment costs, and expenditures can now be viewed directly within the Potential Change Order (PCO) module of BIM 360 Cost Management, giving teams a clearer picture of project costs.
Andrew Cameron, a project manager at Hensel Phelps, shares his experience: “With Rhumbix and Autodesk BIM 360, we now have instant access to critical data without the hassle of traditional paperwork. Teams can collaborate more effectively and make decisions faster.â€
Switching to digital tools might feel intimidating at first, especially if you've only ever used paper. But the benefits are clear: fewer errors, faster communication, and better control over your projects. It’s time to move beyond the past and embrace the future of construction.
