Grow and manage your temp blue-collar workforce with ease

Our tech-powered hiring, finance and payroll services are helping leading construction SMEs save time and money on their temp blue-collar workforce

"We're saving £2/hour on each operative by hiring them from our private network which BuildStream manages for us"

CONTRACTS DIRECTOR - EASY ACCESS SCAFFOLDING

Everyone in construction knows the risks and challenges of temp blue-collar labour

Finding and retaining people

Posting jobs and screening candidates costs valuable time. Dealing with no-shows, walk-offs and people dropping your job for 50p an hour more elsewhere risks derailing your schedule

Cash flow and costs

Growing a construction company isn't easy. Keeping cash flow stable is tough when you pay people weekly but clients pay you on 30+ days. Relying on traditional recruitment agencies for labour eats into your profit

Too much paperwork

Collecting and approving timesheets, compliance documents and tracking which site people are working on is time consuming and error prone when you're juggling multiple projects

How we help
HIRE FROM OUR NETWORK

Hire vetted, local operatives for £2.50/ hour margin


How we help
leverage your network

Hire operatives you already know and trust for £1.50/ hour margin  

Built for companies that already have a solid network, but don't have time to manage the hiring process internally.

We'll build you a private network where you can quickly hire operatives and get 14-30 day payment terms to help with cash flow

How we help
EASY TO USE SOFTWARE

Eliminate errors, delays and disputes

Our custom-built software replaces manual paperwork, saving your busy teams hours per week on admin. Ensure people get paid accurately and on-time with digital timesheets, and view or download any document 24/7
