Construction Team Leasing (1/3)

Part 1: Introducing the Concept of Construction Team Leasing

Are you facing staffing challenges in your construction organization? You're not alone.

A recurrent problem in every corner of Europe

According to surveys with construction professionals and business owners done by Deloitte over the past 3 years, this has been a recurrent problem in the manufacturing and construction field.

Many companies, particularly in countries like the Nordic region, are struggling to find the right talent in their aging demographics. However, this issue is not limited to one region—it's a growing challenge across Europe. The process of finding, recruiting, training, and managing new recruits has become increasingly complex and time-consuming.

An "outside" solution to face the challenge head-on

As workloads in active construction organizations increase, redistributing the workload among existing staff may seem like an effective temporary solution. However, it quickly becomes untenable, especially during peak construction times when project schedules overlap. This is where outsourcing tasks to external teams proves to be the best solution.

An Unspoken Team Leasing Advantage. It not only eases the burden on your employees but also presents an opportunity for aspiring managers in your company to develop their leadership skills by working with different people, cultures, and practicing delegation. To become good leader, you need to start leading.

Team leasing is becoming a flexible and scalable solution that is rapidly gaining popularity in the construction industry. With team leasing, you no longer have to go through the hassle of hiring workers in different locations where your worksites might be. Neither do you have to reassign your own employees from ongoing projects. It allows you to tap into external skilled teams that specialize in the tasks or projects you need assistance with.

Customer Success Story: German Data Center Buildings

Let us share an inspiring success story from our Dutch customer, Kampstaal. They were faced with the challenge of building grating platforms and secondary metal structures for new data centers in Berlin and Frankfurt - two locations that were 600 km apart from each other, and over 600 km away from their HQ. It was a logistical hassle that needed to get solved to fulfill the orders made by two of their key clients.

The team leasing model turned out to be the perfect fit for their needs. Instead of hiring workers in Germany or relocating their own employees, they opted for this flexible and scalable solution. Metal KLS , was able to help them get the job done in both locations with teams consisting of 3 to 5 steel fitters. During peak activity, Metal KLS leased two teams of steel fitters (in total 9 workers) to work simultaneously on separate data center sites.

This customer success story highlights the advantages of team leasing for your short-to-mid-length projects. The ability to quickly assemble a skilled team without the need for lengthy recruitment processes or employee management allows companies like yours to meet deadlines and maintain project quality while keeping costs under control.

In our upcoming posts, we will delve deeper into the value proposition of team leasing and guide you through the process of making a smooth transition to this innovative solution.
