Curious about construction outsourcing or whether engineering services outsourcing could work for your company? Before you sign up with a BPO or hire offshore staff, here’s what you need to know…

The construction and engineering sector is particularly sensitive to global economic and political fluctuations. But while these are complex times, particularly in relation to trade agreements, tariffs and disruption to global supply chains, the future of the industry looks bright, according to Deloitte’s 2019 Engineering and Construction Industry Outlook.

This is great news for construction and engineering firms. However, keeping up with demand for high quality services, delivered on schedule, is proving to be a challenge. Companies are finding it more difficult than ever to recruit and retain qualified staff in great enough quantities.

In fact, Deloitte goes as far as to say that “labor shortages are reaching crisis proportions”1 and cites resourcing as one of the main stumbling blocks to the industry’s growth, resulting in failure to respond to market needs, losing project bids, and an inability to innovate.

The capacity for innovation is essential for engineering and construction firms, particularly if they hope to profit from larger projects. Without it, productivity is lower2, and opportunities to be more competitive in an industry that can be slow to take up new technology will be missed. As sustainability becomes more important3 in every facet of the industry, there is an even greater emphasis on the technology required to meet those challenges.

Meanwhile, the cost of raw materials continues to rise4, making it increasingly difficult to maintain acceptable profit margins5.

So, how do you increase capacity by recruiting and retaining good staff, while simultaneously keeping costs manageable? The answer (for most construction and engineering companies) is outsourcing.

But how does it work? Watch this video to find out more about outsourcing in construction and engineering.

 

Why outsource construction and engineering services?

Construction and engineering projects are generally made up of many components that are subcontracted to smaller entities. Project management is at the core of the work, and determines the success, or otherwise, of the outcome. It’s precisely this multifaceted aspect of day-to-day operations that makes offshoring so attractive.

Indeed, the construction industry has been offshoring engineering services for many years6, in both the EPC sector (engineering, procurement and construction) and the AEC sector (architectural, engineering and construction).

For many firms, outsourcing construction roles is what puts them in a position to bid for larger jobs. Efficiencies can be created in certain areas, allowing for a more strategic focus of resources and the capacity for expansion.

Those areas include everything from back office functions, accounting and IT, through to 3D modeling and drafting services.

Of course, at all times, work standards are of paramount importance, as are national and corporate security (depending on the project). So it’s imperative to ensure you work with trusted professionals who are familiar with the requirements of the industry and can perform to the level that you require.
