A small building site with labourers working in daylight.
Photographs of real shops are being shot for these pages.

Who works in a construction site

  • Daily wage labour, counted every morning at the site.
  • A mason and a carpenter at higher day rates.
  • A supervisor or thekedar who does the marking.
  • Hands who work for a week and then move to another site.

Daily rates, settled weekly in cash. Advances are given constantly and are the main reason a worker cannot check his own count.

The argument this trade has

A labourer worked eleven days across three weeks and took ₹1,500 in advances. He cannot read the register, and the supervisor’s count and his count are two days apart.

What matters most here

  1. Works with no internet A site has no network and that changes nothing.
  2. His own screen The record he can check without asking anybody.
  3. When a day is questioned Raised in the week, not at settlement.

The numbers this trade knows

  • Labour at ₹550 a day, two days in dispute, is ₹1,100 — two days of a family’s food.
  • Eleven days at ₹550 is ₹6,050, minus ₹1,500 of advances. Both figures should be visible to both people.

Questions people ask

My workers cannot read. Can they still use it?

The worker screen is mostly figures, dates and marks, with very few words. Most workers get through it with the phone in their hand.

Can my supervisor mark instead of me?

Yes. Give him manager access. Every mark carries who made it.

Does DailyPlus pay the workers?

No. It never holds or moves money. You pay in cash or by UPI as you always have, and the app writes it down.
