Overview & Background
Fieldwire offers a "Forms" module for the Business and Premier tiers. Within this module, we do offer pre-made Form templates such as Time & Material Tag, Daily Report, RFI's, Inspection Request, Safety Audit, and Timesheet forms as well as the option to create your own Custom forms on the account. You can also push any custom forms from your project to your account to distribute these across your projects, similarly, you can push any forms from your account to your projects - take a look at this article on account form templates for more information.
The Time & Material Tag Form is designed to document the time spent by the contractor's subcontractors to perform the work, and for materials used to complete the work on-site.
Through Fieldwire, you can fill out a Time & Materials tag very quickly and conveniently on mobile or on the web. Within the template, you can:
- Populate information about the time spent on labor, equipment, and materials used.
- Attach photos or relevant files.
- Sign the T&M form assign the form to the relevant person, then change the status to "Submitted".
