The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC) revealed they believe that construction is suffering a large workforce shortage. According to their study, the majority of construction firms have needed help finding suitable candidates to fill their vacant positions.
In conjunction with the ongoing issues with supply chain management in the construction industry, the lack of laborers is a significant danger. The chief economist at AGC, Ken Simonson, explains, “These workforce shortages are compounding the challenges firms are having with supply chain disruptions that are inflating the cost of construction materials and making delivery schedules and product availability uncertain.”
However, work has to continue, and many GCs cannot afford to put off projects while searching for recruits. If you’re working with fewer resources than you normally do, Raken’s daily construction reports software will help to fill the gaps and help ensure that projects are on the right track.
Enhance daily reporting
With fewer employees to deal with, Project managers must be able to obtain the best results with minimum effort without adding stress to their small construction teams. By using software to help improve crucial tasks such as daily reporting and timing, they’ll enhance productivity while also saving time and energy.
raken’s construction management software includes tools to make it easier to manage the following steps:
- Data collection
- Reporting Organization
- Sharing of data
- Monitoring of safety
With the help of Mobile data collection, field personnel can utilize Raken to take notes of updates in the field and then share the information with other stakeholders immediately. They can adhere to established checklists for safety in the construction industry and templates for reporting, which take the guesswork out of reports and inspections, and they can utilize the electronic time sheets to record the hours they work to infinite individual cost codes.

You’ll be able to share important updates within the app and ensure that your small group is aware of any modifications to the design, safety concerns, or quality concerns.
