In the construction industry, business sustainability can be looked at from two different angles. Both workload management and environmental sustainability. In this article we discuss how in an industry where workloads are project driven and fluctuate, companies can create stronger all-round business sustainability through outsourcing. Business Sustainability Through Workload Management Sustainability through outsourcing to manage workload may be particularly important for small to medium firms. Outsourcing some of the workload on a project basis can allow businesses to expand their capabilities without the need to employ full time staff with specialist skills. At Forsspac we see this as a joint venture where we call bring our expertise to join forces with yours, therefore allowing businesses to expand their project opportunities. We can help companies be more efficient in their operations. Companies can improve their productivity by freeing up internal resources to focus on core business functions and achieve turnaround times for design projects. Then for larger businesses, outsourcing can help on big projects where the in-house team cannot handle the workload so sharing the work reduces the risk of design projects falling behind schedule. Rather than hiring permanent in-house designers, this allows a company to scale up to it’s design operations to meet the increased project demands without incurring the cost of hiring permanent employees. The company can outsource its CAD design work to a team of experienced professionals which have been involved in various projects globally. Outsourcing has huge benefits when it comes to efficiency of delivering a project and reducing potential staffing costs, creating business sustainability. Environmental Business Sustainability Within the construction industry there has been a big movement in recent years to develop more green buildings and look at sustainability within large developments. This movement can also be part of the construction business culture and outsourcing can aid with this. The advances in technology means it is now easier than ever to establish effective remote working teams, not just for collaborative communication but also within specialist software within the construction industry. As a Company who operate as a fully cloud based and executes projects using C4R/BIM360 on a collaboration basis, we know it’s never been easier to run as a paperless business within our field of work. Collectively this can have a huge impact on a business’s carbon footprint. This is also particularly prominent when outsourcing work, as in many instances this will include freelancers or teams working remotely. Therefore, reducing the need for additional expenses on larger offices, plus travel emissions by staff will be reduced. But How Do I Find Trustworthy People To Outsource To? We understand that finding trustworthy people to outsource work to can be a challenging endeavour for many companies, particularly for small to medium sized firms. One route to take is to source individuals who freelance and review their previous work, another option is to employ a business like us. Here at Forsspac we provide a wide range of services and even offer a retained teams service. As a trusted and proven supplier with many years in the industry you would know you’re in safe hand with us. It’s also a safer option for those companies looking to expand, as outsourcing to a business rather than freelances provides valuable resources in the form of a team. A team with proven experience and deployed on a project by project basis.
