Elliott Group

Elliott Group has been delivering major construction projects since the 1920s. With a reputation built over generations, the company now operates across London, Birmingham, Dublin, and Cork, supported by a skilled workforce of over 275 employees and a large network of subcontractors.

Their teams have contributed to landmark developments including London 2012, Croke Park, the Irish Times Building, and major healthcare and public sector schemes. Today, Elliott Group continues to work with leading clients such as Google, Dunnes Stores, HSE, Vhi, Whitbread, and Richmond Homes.

With hundreds of employees, four offices, and an extensive subcontractor network, the business required tools that would simplify shift planning, reduce manual admin, and centralise HR information. Site managers needed quick access to schedules, documentation, and attendance records. HR needed an easy way to track right-to-work documents, training certifications, and safety compliance. Finance needed reliable data for payroll and labour cost reporting.

Elliott Group needed to:

• Centralise HR operations, moving employee records, contracts, and subcontractor documentation into one secure HRMS.

• Improve scheduling across projects to plan labour effectively, coordinate site rotas, and adapt to last-minute changes.

• Manage subcontractors more efficiently, tracking hours, compliance checks, and documentation for all subcontractors.

• Strengthen compliance by maintaining accurate records for training, safety, right-to-work, and audit requirements.

• Improve time-tracking and attendance to give site managers accurate attendance data through mobile and location-based tools.

• Enhance workforce visibility by providing real-time insights into labour allocation, overtime, and project staffing.

• Reduce administrative burdens by automating manual HR tasks to free managers and HR teams to focus on delivery.

The system centralised HR records, automated compliance tasks, and gave managers full oversight of both employees and subcontractors across every project. Elliott Group benefited from:

• Digital Rotas and Project Scheduling
  Site and project managers can build rotas quickly for multiple live sites, allocate labour based on skills and availability, and adjust schedules when projects overrun or priorities change. Updates are shared instantly with staff, reducing missed shifts, gaps in cover, and last-minute phone calls.

• Time & Attendance Tools
  Employees and subcontractors clock in and out using mobile devices, with location verification to confirm they are on the correct site. This gives managers real-time visibility of who is on site, supports accurate labour reporting, and removes reliance on paper timesheets.

• Subcontractor Management
  Elliott Group can manage subcontractors alongside directly employed staff within the same HRMS. Hours worked, compliance status, and documentation are tracked centrally, giving clear oversight of external labour and improving accountability across projects.

• Compliance Tracking
  All safety training records, certifications, and right-to-work documentation are stored digitally against each worker profile. Automated reminders help ensure renewals are not missed, supporting HR compliance and keeping sites audit-ready at all times.

• Payroll Reporting
  Approved attendance and rota data feeds directly into payroll reports, reducing manual data entry and errors. This gives finance teams accurate insight into labour costs, overtime, and project spend, while ensuring workers are paid correctly and on time.

• Mobile Self-Service
  Staff can view rotas, access key documents, submit leave requests, and check updates from their phones. This improves communication across dispersed sites, reduces admin queries, and helps managers spend less time on paperwork and more time on delivery.
