Challenge
Working on an out-of-state job, we had to source hundreds of skilled workers in an area of Tennessee where resources were thin on the ground. We needed to staff up quickly to get workers trained on the jobs' unique specifications and keep our schedule on track.
For the size of the project, we needed to source 1,200 sheet metal workers. There were 400 total sheet metal workers in the Stanton area, and only 100 of those workers were available on our schedule. That meant we needed to find more than 1,000 skilled workers who could be trained to McShane standards and on-site for the duration of the project.
Solution
We drew on our existing, long-term regional relationships to help source the workers we needed. Then we implemented a command and control leadership structure, ensuring that lines of communication were clear and well defined as we deployed task outlines, safety supervision duties, and high-level coordinated drawings of the job.
Process
Using our Autodesk Revit platform and Procore BIM, we created three-dimensional models of every element on the job, allowing us to plan and track every detail across multiple buildings and millions of square feet of project area. This allowed for our team to be prepared and ready for just-in-time installation on the site.
