Your assistant works from your source documents in your hours with a second check on every batch. Timecards are entered against the correct cost code and phase so labor lands where it belongs rather than in a general bucket. Supplier invoices are matched against purchase orders and delivery tickets, with discrepancies listed instead of guessed. Daily reports from photos, voice notes and field forms are compiled into the project record with weather, crew counts, activities and delays recorded. Bid tabs are built from received quotes with scope inclusions and exclusions noted as the subcontractor wrote them. Every batch closes with counts entered, counts checked and an exceptions list. Plain definition ## What are data entry services? Data entry services are the keying of information from one place into another: paper forms into a database, PDF invoices into accounting software, business cards into a CRM, survey answers into a spreadsheet. A good data entry service adds validation rules, a second-person check and a batch log, so the output can be trusted without re-checking every row yourself. ## What tasks does data entry cover for construction and development firms? - Enter timecards against the correct job, cost code and phase - Match supplier invoices to purchase orders and delivery tickets - Code job costs so labor, material and equipment land in the right bucket - Compile daily reports from field notes, photos and voice messages - Enter subcontractor quotes into the bid tab with inclusions and exclusions - Enter quantities from your own takeoff into the estimate or pay application - Maintain equipment, material and rental logs by job - Close each batch with counts entered, counts checked and exceptions listed ## The KPI that matters here Error rate per 100 records on the second check, and invoices coded to the wrong job or cost code, which the match should catch every time. Both are on the monthly QA scorecard. ## What rules does data entry follow for construction? 1. **Lien waivers are administrative, not legal advice.** Assistants issue the waiver forms your company uses, chase signatures from every tier, log what has been received and flag deadlines from the calendar you set. They never advise on lien rights, never prepare or record a mechanics lien, never sign a waiver, and never interpret whether a notice was timely. State mechanics lien statutes, such as those in the California Civil Code and the Texas Property Code, set the deadlines, and your attorney decides what they mean for a given job. 2. **Certified payroll and prevailing wage.** On federally funded work, weekly certified payroll reports are required under the Davis-Bacon and Related Acts administered by the US Department of Labor, with state prevailing wage rules adding their own forms and portals. Assistants prepare and submit the reports in LCPtracker or the agency portal from your payroll data, chase subcontractor submissions and track compliance by week. The statement of compliance is signed by an officer of your company, never by an assistant. 3. **Subcontractor insurance and licensing verification.** Certificates of insurance are checked against your contract requirements for limits, additional insured status, waiver of subrogation and primary and noncontributory wording, and license status is checked against the state contractor licensing board's public register. The assistant collects, verifies against your checklist and flags gaps; your project manager or risk contact approves. Expiring certificates are chased before the date, not after a claim. 4. **Outbound contact rules.** Outreach to homeowners, developers and repeat owners goes out with lawful consent and do-not-call scrubbing under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act enforced by the FCC: calls inside 8am to 9pm local time, scrubbing against the National Do Not Call Registry and your internal list, and opt-out wording on every text. Storm-chasing calls to disaster-affected homeowners are not made, and several states restrict solicitation after a declared disaster. ## Construction software we work in - [QuickBooks Online](https://assistbpo.com/software/quickbooks-online/) - [Microsoft 365](https://assistbpo.com/software/microsoft-365/) - [Asana](https://assistbpo.com/software/asana/) Also in use - Procore - Buildertrend - CoConstruct - Autodesk Build - BuildingConnected [See all 80 tools we work in](https://assistbpo.com/software/) ## More for construction and development firms Other services for construction - [Appointment setting](https://assistbpo.com/industries/construction/appointment-setting/) - [CRM management](https://assistbpo.com/industries/construction/crm-management/) - [Social media assistant](https://assistbpo.com/industries/construction/social-media-virtual-assistant/) - [After-hours answering](https://assistbpo.com/industries/construction/after-hours-answering/) - [Client intake](https://assistbpo.com/industries/construction/client-intake/) - [Virtual assistant](https://assistbpo.com/industries/construction/virtual-assistant/) - [The construction pod](https://assistbpo.com/industries/construction/) Data entry in other industries - [Real estate agents & teams](https://assistbpo.com/industries/real-estate/data-entry/) - [Property management companies](https://assistbpo.com/industries/property-management/data-entry/) - [E-commerce brands](https://assistbpo.com/industries/ecommerce/data-entry/) - [Education & tutoring](https://assistbpo.com/industries/education/data-entry/) - [The full data entry page](https://assistbpo.com/services/data-entry/) ## Frequently asked questions ### Can you compile daily reports from field notes? Yes, and it is one of the easiest wins. Superintendents send photos, a voice note or a scribbled form, and the assistant turns it into the daily report your system expects: date, weather, crews on site by trade and count, work performed by area, deliveries received, visitors, safety observations, delays and any instruction received. Anything unclear is queried rather than invented. The report is in the project record the same day, which matters enormously if a delay is ever disputed. ### Do you do quantity takeoffs? We enter quantities, we do not measure them. If your estimator produces a takeoff in a tool or on a marked-up drawing, the assistant transfers those quantities into your estimate template or pay application accurately and checks the totals. Performing the takeoff itself, deciding what is in scope, applying waste factors and pricing the work are estimating judgments that stay with your estimator, because the whole bid depends on them. ### How do you handle invoices that do not match the purchase order? They are flagged, not fixed. The assistant lists the invoice, the purchase order, the delivery ticket and exactly what differs: quantity, price, item, job or tax. That goes to your project manager or accounting lead for a decision, with all three documents attached. Once you decide, the assistant enters the correction and records the resolution, which builds a history showing which suppliers routinely bill differently from what was ordered.
