From juggling hundreds of subcontractors at a time and creating their schedules, to accounting for multiple deadlines and making sure safety regulations are being met – things can get pretty complicated on a construction site. Eyrus’s workforce management platform makes simplifying subcontractor management easier and more accurate. 

Tips for Simplifying Subcontractor Management with Eyrus:

1) Keep Collaboration a Priority

Eyrus supports workforce collaboration at all levels of a project in one easy-to-use platform. From pre- to post-construction, real-time workforce timesheets and shared data can help reduce disputes, inform payroll decisions and ensure projects are on schedule. Allowing for collaboration can increase accountability, build loyalty and ultimately create a better working atmosphere for everyone on site. 

2) Gather Daily Reports

Get a better picture of what subcontractors are doing on a daily basis across the span of an entire project to help avoid bottlenecks. Eyrus allows general contractors to create consolidated daily snapshots with real-time daily logs, attendance, and safety reports. The collected workforce data can help determine what’s impacting worksite progress and build a database of subs that can be trusted. General contractors can easily present the information in an easy-to-understand format to stakeholders to evaluate performance and make informed decisions. 

3) Track Your Workforce

Maintaining a workforce database can help increase safety with emergency contact inputs and provide a detailed view of tracked time and access. It also provides more accurate information for decision-makers to act upon. The Eyrus Visibility App helps general contractors control their workforce data and the information collected from beacons and badges from the palm of their hand.

4) Control Job Site Access

Based on a subcontractor’s role and activity on a job site, general contractors can control access across the site for anyone that’s in their database. For sites that require strict perimeter control – gates, doors, and turnstiles can be combined with subcontractor badge data. Wearable solutions and the creation of zones on-site make it easy to view real-time attendance in specific areas, get reports, and send alerts.

Because construction sites have so many moving parts, it’s standard practice for general contractors to subcontract a portion or sometimes an entire project out to subcontractors. These subs carry out a wide range of duties on behalf of general contractors who are responsible for their health, safety, and actions on a job site. Whether hundreds of subcontractors or just a handful need to be managed, tapping into the power of technology and automating as much as possible can help general contractors keep subcontractors working and meet their overall project goals.
