Groundworkers, chippies, sparkies, brickies, plasterers, roofers and every other trade on the Construction Industry Scheme — DayGraft turns ten seconds at the end of the day into proof of what you did, what you're owed, and what you've been paid.
Full Tracking covers contractors, sites, evidence photos and statements — the complete toolkit for CIS work. Simple Hours is a plain start/end time grid for when you're paid by the hour and nobody needs a statement. Switch anytime; nothing is ever lost.
One tap builds a clear weekly statement — labour, materials, mileage and your CIS deduction — professional enough to get taken seriously, and paid.
Log what actually lands in the bank against each week. Short payments are flagged, and outstanding unpaid weeks stay visible on your dashboard until they're settled.
Running tax-year totals, quarterly figures ready for Making Tax Digital, a year-pace projection against the higher-rate threshold, and a free estimate of what you could be owed back in CIS.
Works fully offline on site. Optional free cloud backup keeps your records and evidence photos safe if your phone is lost or broken, syncing across your devices. Export any tax year as CSV, any time.
General time trackers don't know what CIS is. DayGraft calculates your CIS deduction correctly on labour only, builds statements shaped the way UK contractors expect, tracks payments against what you're actually owed, and estimates your CIS tax refund — none of which a generic hours app does.
No. DayGraft is built for self-employed sole traders on CIS, VAT-registered or not. If you are VAT-registered, DayGraft handles standard VAT and the domestic reverse charge per contractor.
Yes. Logging days and expenses, attaching evidence, tracking one contractor (or job in Simple Hours), and 90 days of cloud photo backup are all free. DayGraft Pro adds unlimited contractors, weekly statements, payment tracking, and permanent photo backup, with a 7-day free trial.
Any trade working under CIS — groundworkers, chippies, sparkies, brickies, plasterers, roofers, plumbers, scaffolders, dryliners, steel fixers, painters and decorators, tilers, plant operators and labourers all use the same app the same way.
Yes — hourly pay works in both modes. Full Tracking has an Hourly pay type alongside day rate and overtime. Simple Hours is a lighter start/end time grid with breaks and overtime, with no contractors or statements needed.
