Ask anyone in the construction industry about the challenges of finding qualified labor, and you will surely get a story. Even when unemployment is high, finding skilled workers to build houses and renovate commercial properties can be a real challenge. When the unemployment rate dips, the difficulty of finding general construction labor becomes even more severe, and many general contractors are already feeling the pinch.

Whether you are a general contractor, a subcontractor or a builder of commercial properties, if you want to get qualified labor, you need to think outside the box. It is not always easy to know where those qualified workers will come from; according to Ryan Rock, resident of Ankeny, Iowa and owner of Empire AG, LLC, casting your net far and wide is the best course of action.

No matter what kind of labor you need or how severe the shortage of qualified men and women, the use of supplemental staffing can help your business thrive. When you turn over part of your staffing needs to a supplemental staffing agency, you will have one less thing to worry about, so you can focus on pleasing your clients and giving them the best quality homes and commercial buildings you can.

The use of supplemental staffing has several significant benefits for everyone in the general construction industry. For home builders working with tight deadlines and demanding buyers, the use of additional staff can mean the difference between a finished project and a cul-de-sac full of happy clients and a failed project and a lawsuit. “For a general contractor, the use of supplemental staffing can allow the company to take on more projects, increase revenue, and build their image in the community,” stated as Ryan Rock.

For experienced subcontractors, the use of supplemental labor can provide that extra edge, helping them win more contracts and enjoy higher profits. It is not easy to work as a subcontractor, especially if you are juggling multiple projects and working with demanding clients. Supplemental staffing can ease your burden by allowing you to bring those projects in on time and under budget.

For builders of commercial projects, supplemental staffing can be a valuable tool and a way to stand out from the competition. There has never been more competition in the construction of commercial buildings, with businesses undercutting one another to win the job. Through the judicious use of supplemental staffing, you can overcome these challenges and get a leg up on those worthy competitors.

Last but not least, a supplemental staffing agency can help ensure that all the paperwork is in order and that everyone on the construction site has legal status. With the focus on illegal immigration and the current crackdown underway, it has never been more important for general construction labor contractors to screen their workers carefully. Supplemental staffing agencies are experts at such screening, and that gives companies and their clients one less worry.

The construction industry has always been a difficult place to do business, but the recent labor shortage has created even more significant challenges for commercial builders, home builders, general contractors, and subcontractors. No matter what part of the industry you call home, a supplemental staffing agency can help you find the qualified workers you need, so you can focus on completing your projects and pleasing those demanding clients.
