Every labour hour. Tracked at the source.
Hours are captured on site, carry workforce attributes and certify monthly, by package and target.
A social procurement reporting tool built around labour hours.
Catchment's participation hours module is a social procurement reporting tool for construction projects that report workforce outcomes in hours. It collects hours from every trade partner (subcontractor) on the project, attaches the worker attributes your contract counts, and rolls them up against each target so you can see your position at any point in the month, not just at report time.
How it works.
Captured on site
Hours come from site sign-ins and payroll extracts, not month-end recollection.
Attributed automatically
Each hour carries worker attributes: apprentice, First Nations, female participation, and rolls up to the right target.
Certified monthly
Trade partners certify their own hours. Your team reviews exceptions, not spreadsheets.
Targets that read like the policy.
Every participation target shows its definition, source policy and current position, updated as submissions land.
Why it matters.
Social procurement targets are written in hours: apprentice and trainee hours, First Nations hours, and female participation as a share of total hours under the Building Equality Policy. When those hours arrive as month-end spreadsheets from dozens of trade partners, nobody can confirm which figures are verified until the report is already due. Catchment captures hours where the work happens and has each trade partner certify their own submission. By report time, your participation figure is a total of certified records, which makes Building Equality Policy compliance and First Nations procurement reporting straightforward to demonstrate to your client.

Common questions.
Where do the hours come from?
Site sign-ins and payroll extracts, submitted by the trade partner that employs the worker.
How are workers classified?
Attributes such as apprentice, First Nations and female participation attach to each hour, and the hours roll up to the targets that count them.
Who certifies the figures?
The trade partner certifies their own submission. Your team reviews exceptions.
Does it support Victorian Social Procurement Framework compliance?
Yes. Hours roll up to the workforce objectives in your Social Procurement Framework commitments, alongside Building Equality Policy and Local Jobs First targets on the same project.
