Why Optimal Construction Project Delivery Begins With The Workforce

A successful workforce is more than just the sum of its parts. Each worker has an important role to play, and their own journey to go on, but how can we standardise this to optimise delivery on construction sites across the board?

Here at MSite we often talk about ‘worker journeys’, and we don’t mean whether they choose to travel to work by car, bus, train, on foot, or a combination of them all. Simply put, every worker on every site across the country will go through a process in which they prepare for a project, complete activities and contribute to project progress. This journey takes them all the way from briefing, the first time they hear about a project, to completion, when they walk off site for the final time.

Up until now, our ways of tracking this progress have been limited and a stack of papers on a desk just won’t cut it. With digital solutions, such as ours, becoming more readily available how can we utilise them to optimise delivery?

The done thing

For as long as anyone in the industry can remember, contractors have run their sites, and the entire lifecycle of their projects, in pretty much the same way. This has often been driven by the basic need of getting workers on site to get the job done – a huge contributing factor to the continued presence of issues such as modern slavery, heightened by the lack of ability to track the comings and goings on site.

In the most basic of terms, contractors or labour agencies would be briefed on a job, send workers – be that carpenters, electricians, brick layers, or plumbers for example - who would arrive on site, complete the job and go home with little to no trace of them ever being there.

Teaching an old dog new tricks

A successful workforce is built before anyone steps foot on site. It has always been the goal to ensure that you are equipped with competent and experienced workers but in the past verifying this has taken time, and therefore money. In an industry that employs workers from around the world, we have also faced the challenge of making this process accessible across the board. With digital pre-site solutions including inductions and right to work checks, preparation can be completed by workers independently from the comfort of their own home, in more than 30 languages.

Ever wondered who has access to your sites or how many hours your workers are clocking? Solutions such as our access control and time and attendance monitoring, you can remove this question mark. Hardware such as turnstiles and the face mini are placed on the site entrance, meaning no one can come and go without clocking in or out. This also ensures confidence that the only workers on site are those who have gone through the bespoke pre-site process.

Data is key to compliance, especially with the increasing need to report on aspects of business such as health and safety, modern slavery, social value and carbon footprint. Do you have a clear picture of your credentials? By using digital solutions, this is all at your fingertips. You can monitor and evaluate the workforce to understand what was done well and where improvements can be made, which contribute to optimising delivery on future projects.
