What is LabourBase?
One Platform. Every Connection. LabourBase is a digital platform built for the construction industry- connecting companies with skilled workers, and workers with real jobs, instantly. No agencies. No mark-ups. No wasted time.
Whether you’re managing multiple projects or looking for your next role, LabourBase simplifies hiring, onboarding, timesheets, and payroll – all in one place.
Why we built it
The Industry Was Broken – So We Fixed It. We’ve spent years in construction and saw the same issues on every job:
– Agencies charging too much and delivering too little
– Workers underpaid and undervalued
– Admin overload, poor visibility, and constant miscommunication.
LabourBase was created to give control back to the people who build – and those who manage the builds. Fair pay. Fast hiring. Full transparency.
Our Mission
“To Power the Future of Construction with Fairness and Efficiency. We believe the construction industry deserves a better system – one that puts people first, eliminates unnecessary costs, and drives progress through technology.”
What Makes LabourBase Different?
- Direct hiring - no agencies, ever
- IR35 Compliant subcontract orders for every hire
- Smart job and labour matching
- In-app timesheets and instant payroll integration
- Built specifically for the UK construction sector
- One platform for both workers and companies

Save Money. Stay Compliant. Build Smarter.
No More Agency Fees LabourBase removes the middlemen – permanently. Say goodbye to inflated hourly rates and high recruitment costs. With a simple subscription model, you can access verified labour without the mark-up.
Protect Your Profit Margins Hiring the wrong people costs more than time – it costs money. LabourBase uses smart matching, worker reviews, and real-time availability to reduce downtime, errors, and costly rework.
No Lost Earnings for Workers Get hired directly. If the job says GBP25/hour, you get GBP25/hour – no cuts, no commissions. Timesheets are tracked and approved in the app, so you always get paid accurately and on time.
IR35 Compliance, Built-In Every hire on LabourBase comes with a digital subcontract order, auto generated and signed between company and operative. We handle the right-to-work checks, CSCS verification, and ensure each engagement is fully aligned with HMRC’s IR35 rules.
