How a Self-Performing Contractor’s In-House Skilled Labor Mitigates Project Risks
A common risk in the construction industry today is the skilled labor shortage, which can result in schedule delays and cost escalation. This means you might pay a premium for available skilled workers to get your construction project completed on time.
Choosing a self-performing general contractor with its own in-house, skilled workforce can help you mitigate these issues so projects get done on time—or even ahead of schedule—in the following ways.
Labor Availability
A in-house, skilled workforce with a national presence means that local, highly trained craft can be directed wherever work is needed to ensure that your project is staffed adequately for the duration.
Filling Gaps
Contractors with skilled self-perform crews not only take on large scopes of work, such as concrete and drywall, they can “fill in” smaller scopes, immediately deploying resources needed to keep things moving.
Taking Care of People
Self-performing builders are invested in the success of their organization and are consistently trained to a high standard.
Prefabrication
General contractors whose in-house crews are trained to install prefabricated building elements on average use 30% less onsite workforce—mitigating potential labor shortages by freeing up workers to perform other tasks.
