RedHammer is excited to announce ourpartnership with Hammr, a modern construction payroll, HR, field operations, and compliance platform purpose-built for specialty contractors.
This partnership brings together best-in-class construction payroll technology and accounting expertise to help contractors gain real-time financial visibility, streamline back-office operations, and eliminate the disconnect between payroll and job costing.
“Most contractors don’t struggle because they lack data...they struggle because there’s a disconnect between the field, payroll, and accounting,” said Brek Goin, Co-Founder and CEO of Hammr. “Traditional payroll systems weren’t built to tackle prevailing wage, union labor, fringe benefits, or job costing, so teams end up stitching together patchwork processes and reconciling everything after the fact. Hammr captures labor correctly at the source, and RedHammer brings the accounting muscle to turn that into clean job costing and real financial visibility. Together, we’re helping finance teams see project performance sooner and building scalable back offices.”
Solving a Core Problem for Construction Teams
Construction accounting is fundamentally different.
You can have hundreds of projects, dozens of cost codes, job cost allocation, and WIP reporting that make it difficult to maintain clean books and understand true project performance. When traditional payroll systems don’t connect cleanly to accounting, contractors end up wasting hours reconciling data instead of acting on it.
Hammr simplifies the front end - payroll, HR, time tracking, compliance, and capturing field data.
RedHammer strengthens the back end - building clean systems that translate that labor data into job cost, WIP, accurate financials, and actionable reporting.
Together, the field and office are finally on the same team.
What This Partnership Means for Contractors
Through this partnership, both RedHammer and Hammr help contractors:
- Integrate labor and payroll into accounting cleanly: Payroll and full labor burden costs flow directly from Hammr into your accounting system, mapped properly to jobs, cost codes, and classes - reducing manual adjustments and cleanup.
- Get timely, accurate job cost and WIP reporting: With payroll tied directly to job cost, contractors gain earlier visibility into margins and project performance.
- Strengthen monthly close and financial forecasting: Real labor data feeds better WIP schedules, reconciliations, and forecasting - helping finance and project teams make decisions with confidence.
- Work with construction-specific accounting experts: RedHammer supports contractors with implementation, monthly close, cleanup, reporting, and financial strategy - all backed by deep industry experience.
Built for Growth-Focused Contractors
This partnership is especially valuable for contractors managing:
- A mix of commercial or public work construction projects
- Prevailing wage and certified payroll requirements
- Complex job costing and WIP reporting
Instead of payroll operating in isolation and accounting teams constantly playing catch-up, RedHammer and Hammr create a unified workflow that delivers financial clarity faster.
