Contractor background
Titan Structural Group is a multi-trade contractor operating across Virginia and neighboring states, supporting large-scale infrastructure and federal projects. Their portfolio includes Coastal Virginia Offshore Wind, DCU Center, Norfolk Naval Air Station, Newport News Naval Air Facility, and other Navy facilities.
Titan’s work spans multiple trades and union locals (including Local 7, Local 28, and DC51), with crews ranging from just a few workers to more than 40 on a single project. Every job demands strict certified payroll reporting, precise union wage compliance, and clear visibility into labor costs.
As Titan expanded, back-office complexity grew just as quickly.

Challenge
Before Trayd, payroll and reporting were largely manual, consuming significant time and creating operational friction.
~20 hours compiling reports
~20+ hours running payroll
Multiple reports and payroll workflows stitched together by hand
Limited visibility into job-level labor costs
Difficult tracking across states, trades, and union locals
Payroll became both the control point and the bottleneck
With labor representing the majority of back-office spend, delayed and fragmented data made it difficult to understand project performance and nearly impossible to make proactive decisions.
Support certified payroll across unions and states
Centralize reporting and compliance
Improve job-level tracking
Eliminate manual processes
Scale with increasingly complex projects
The solution
Titan implemented Trayd to replace spreadsheets and disconnected tools, consolidating payroll, compliance, and reporting into a single system.
Payroll and certified reporting
Worker data and union compliance
Project-level labor tracking
Instead of assembling multiple reports each week, Titan now runs payroll and generates certified reports directly from Trayd, with labor data automatically mapped to the correct jobs, workers, and pay types.
Result
The operational impact was immediate. What previously required more than 40 hours per week across payroll and reporting now takes approximately one hour.
Titan gained:
Simplified tracking across multi-state, multi-trade projects
Real-time visibility into labor costs
Faster certified payroll generation
Cleaner compliance across six union locals
Trayd unlocked deeper insight into:
Labor movement and allocation
Worker-level task breakdowns
Cleaner compliance across six union locals
