Case Study: London Residential Development Staffing Support
Client
Mid-sized residential developer working on a 150-unit apartment complex in East London.
Challenge
Multiple subcontractor no-shows threatened project timelines. Needed 15 CSCS Labourers within 48 hours to maintain critical path.
Timeframe
Urgent requirement with work scheduled to begin Monday morning after Friday afternoon request.
Staff Direct Solution
Our team immediately activated our pool of pre-vetted CSCS Labourers in London. Through Friday evening and Saturday, we:
- Contacted 35 suitable candidates from our database
- Confirmed availability and right-to-work for 22 labourers
- Matched skills to specific site requirements (groundworks experience essential)
- Arranged inductions and site access for Monday start
- Provided full documentation packs to client by Sunday afternoon
We also arranged a site supervisor from our construction workers pool to oversee the team for the first week.
Result
All 15 CSCS Labourers arrived on site Monday morning as scheduled. The project maintained its critical timeline, with the groundworks phase completed on schedule. The client extended the booking from the initial 2-week requirement to 8 weeks, with 5 workers transitioning to temp-to-perm positions.
"Staff Direct helped us cover urgent shifts quickly when our usual subcontractor let us down. Their communication was simple and effective from day one, and the quality of labourers was exactly what we needed to keep the project moving."
