Finding labour
The necessary labour may be:
- chosen directly to work on-site from workers known to the builder
- found through an agency or through the quoting process.
There are several ways of obtaining the necessary labour:
- Use workers known to the builder.
- Place an advertisement in newspapers (major and local) and/or in trade magazines.
- Engage a recruitment agency to carry out the search for staff.
- Use 'word of mouth' processes.
- Phone known sub-contractors.
- Use trades staff from other companies - persons known to people already working for the builder.
- Sub-contractors often call in looking for work after the work has started on-site.
