5 Ways to Run a More Efficient Construction Business

shrayan lakhna September 10, 2021

Running a construction business is a challenging endeavor; we have multiple groups to deal with. In addition to the challenges of running a regular company, there are many external factors such as weather, suppliers, and working collaboratively with other contractors. Consider that you may be delayed if work earlier in the build must be completed before begin. Consider these five areas where we may implement strategies to run a more efficient construction business.

Tools and Plant

Tools and machinery are the backbones of working in construction. We often hear the old proverb regarding the poor worker who blames their tools; even if true, it will not help us have cheap or ineffective tools. If the cost is considerable, we may wish to consider the possibility of hiring tools, especially if they are ones we only need occasionally.

Workers

With the nature of working in construction, we often require a lot of labor when working on intensive projects, and then at other times, we are relatively quiet and can muddle by with the minimum of staff. This creates an issue when hiring; if we hire too many permanent staff, we will have a huge wage bill that may be unsustainable, but if we rely on too many temps may find we lack the expertise to finish the l solution is to keep a core of skilled and dedicated staff, but use specialist agency workers with the required skills when desirable.

Planning & Organising

Running any business requires effective planning, but in the construction trade, this is particularly relevant. We need to make sure everything is legal and up to local codes. We must be precise in our measurements, ordering supplies, and especially when working with other contractors to ensure everything is completed as planned. We would strongly advise using specialist construction software to take care of everything from planning to project management.

Accounts & Finance

Keeping track of budgets is vital. If we have any extra expenses or issues, we have to be sure we keep track of them to avoid forgetting to add these costs to a customer’s bill. It is also good to regularly keep an eye on your finances with good bookkeeping practices, so you can tell if the business is in good financial health and react promptly if there is any chance of financial problems.

Contingencies & Customer Relations

We should have backup plans for when things don’t work out as we had intended, as this is inevitable at some point if you are in construction. Some things are a must, such as liability insurance; for any significant jobs, you will need to have this to be allowed to work as a subcontractor. But even if you are doing minor domestic work, it is prudent to have this in place should a customer take you to court over an issue. It would take a relationship with a customer to go wrong for this to happen, and good communication can almost always prevent this.
