Sometimes we have come across the false belief that carrying out construction work or renovations using the outsourcing method is not the most efficient option. But it’s just the opposite, and that is why many construction companies use outsourcing or subcontracting to specialists to execute the projects that they carry out.
A turnkey project is one that includes all the services that the client needs: from the request and monitoring of licenses and files, realization of the interior architecture plans, project management and the execution of works.
Outsourcing or subcontracting services is often the most efficient way to proceed. These are some reasons why:

1. Outsourcing Gives Access to Specialization
A company like TheBuildingComplianceTeam.com that has been exclusively developing in the building compliance sector for many years always offers greater confidence and quality than a multi-service company that might also offer a similar service as an add-on. No matter how large, multi-trade companies often have inexperienced workers, with little motivation and high labour mobility that work as a plumber and as a bricklayer, and maybe even other trades.
Specialists specialize – and offer greater efficiency and better results!
2. Outsourcing Brings Responsibility
Specialists have often been working with subcontractors for many years, they are like family. They know perfectly the quality and level of detail to offer to clients. They are aware that if they do not achieve that minimum level they will risk their reputation. This can hardly be managed when there is a large number of workers on the payroll.
Do you think you will get a higher level of service and responsibility from a large scale general trade company?
3. Outsourcing Offers the Same Security as Developing In-House Teams
This is simple, regardless of if the company you hire has 2,000 employees, 500 employees, 50 employees or 2 employees, the level of responsibility is the same. Developing an in-house team covering all specializations is both costly and time-consuming to get the same level of responsibility.
4. Outsourcing Favours Quality
You don’t have to spend years working with various subcontractors, with some successes and mistakes. You can hire the best in each field, those that offer optimal conditions in terms of price, completion times and, above all, quality and responsibility. It is logical to think that the filter of experience will allow you to find the optimal subcontractor for each case, situation and project.
5. Outsourcing Is Good for Your Budget
The price that you can get by outsourcing is much lower overall than taking on all the work yourself. Or starting from scratch to develop a specialized team. It is simply a question of supply and demand.
The recent public health crisis and the current construction situation have exposed the need for greater flexibility in construction companies. You must be able to adapt quickly to changing scenarios.
Outsourcing solves this problem in a practical way, whether dealing with new construction or renovations. Not surprisingly, many of the country’s largest construction companies have used this method for a long time. And now many smaller construction companies are following the example.
Keep the most technical or crucial positions in-house (Site Manager, Director, Occupational Safety, Managers, Foremen, etc.) and outsource the rest.
