The Benefits of Temporary Construction Workers for Large Projects
Posted on 10/29 by Erin Helms
If you have a big construction project coming up, temporary construction labor may be just what you need. These highly skilled workers will join your project for a few days, weeks, or even months to help you get the job done on time. At the end of the contract period, though, you won’t be stuck trying to figure out how to keep them busy. They’ll simply move on to another project. Let’s take a deep dive into how construction temp services can help you staff even the largest projects.
How Does a Construction Staffing Agency Work?
Construction staffing agencies specialize in matching highly qualified construction workers with companies that need their help. Whether you need a lot of people with general skills or a handful of specialists in one specific task, we understand what each job requires. With a deep understanding of the construction industry and what each job entails, we act as matchmakers, carefully pairing just the right workers with the right projects for them. We strive to build long-term relationships with each of our client partners. This means that we’ll sit down and get to know your company in-depth, and then you can simply call us whenever you need help. Tell us what you’re looking for, and we can get the people you need to your job site within just a few days.
Why Should Businesses Leverage Construction Temp Services for Large Projects?
One of the biggest reasons to partner with a dedicated construction staffing agency is our expertise. Rather than having to source workers for each project and then assess their skills and knowledge, you can be confident that we’ll send you people who are thoroughly vetted and ready to go. But that’s not the only reason to work with us. Here are a few other ways we can help your business grow.
Construction Staffing Agencies Provide Access to a Large Talent Pool
The labor market remains incredibly tight, and there is stiff competition for talented construction professionals. But recruiting is our core business. We maintain large, frequently updated rosters of top talent with a wide range of skills and experience. Instead of spending your time trying to find the right workers, you can simply tell us your requirements for each project. We’ll tap into our vast talent pool to send you the people you need. If you need someone with highly specialized skills, we have strong ties to the local community. We know where to find specialists in virtually any area of the construction industry. We also understand the local market and the competition you face. This deep experience allows us to position your company to attract just the right people for the job.
Scaling the Workforce As Needed
Construction companies tend to go through peaks and valleys in demand. Sometimes it seems like you’re awash in big projects, while at other times you’re in a bit of a dry spell. Hiring too many full-time workers means running the risk of still owing salaries even when there isn’t enough work to go around. But if you hire too few, you may not be able to jump on a massive opportunity when it comes your way. When you maintain a relationships with a dedicated construction staffing agency, you don’t need to worry about either of these scenarios. You can maintain a core full-time team and simply turn to us when you need additional workers. This ability to scale up and down as needed helps to ensure that you’re always running at peak efficiency.
Cost Savings for Construction Companies
It’s always the most cost effective to have exactly the right size team, with each position filled by someone who knows exactly how to do the job. But recruiting and hiring are expensive. Construction temp services let you bypass those often-unpredictable expenses, keeping your costs down and your projects fully staffed.
Faster Project Completion
It’s certainly possible to run a construction crew that isn’t fully staffed. But you won’t get the job done on time. Efficient project management relies on having the people you need for each portion of the job. Partnering with a construction staffing agency helps you bring each project to completion not only on budget, but also on time. This allows you to get more projects done while also keeping your clients satisfied.
Simplified Hiring Process
Hiring can be tough, especially since most construction companies don’t have a dedicated HR team. It can take a lot of time and energy to find prospects, recruit them, screen them, and onboard them. When you partner with a dedicated construction temp service, though, we do the heavy lifting for you. All you have to do is let us know what you need, and we’ll send the right people for your project. Even better? They’ll be on our payroll, so there is no need for onboarding at all. You can just give your new temp workers a quick orientation and put them to work. Should you decide that you want to hire full-time team members, we can help with that as well. We offer temp-to-hire contracts, in which your workers will start out as temporary employees and then convert to full-time at the end of the contract, if you both agree. We also provide direct hire services in which we’ll be by your side through every stage of the hiring journey.
Ready to Streamline your Next Big Construction Project with Skilled Temporary Workers?

We’re so close to needing to put away all of our summer gear in exchange for the boots, gloves, hats and heavy coats required for working in the cold and snow of winter. Whether winter for you means temperatures dropping below 40 degrees or facing the potential of blizzards and ice storms, it’s important to keep safety top of mind as the seasons change — especially when heavy equipment is involved, or if you might need to drive on icy roads.

Stand out as a desirable company to work for, and retain your best talent, by understanding what your employees really want. It’s a common refrain from managers and HR offices in the past few years -- “Nobody wants to work anymore!” For what it’s worth, that’s a complaint that has been voiced for more than 100 years; everything old is new again. The truth is that people don’t want to work for less than what they’re worth; they don’t want to be told to be grateful just for having a job that pays them and they don’t want to feel like they have to sacrifice their personal lives and time for a job that doesn’t appreciate them. As a manager, you might be on the defensive already and that’s understandable. But take a moment and consider what your employees actually want from your company before skipping on to your next piece of reading material. Here’s what employees want:
