Solving the Skills Shortage

The cost and scale of construction projects today is seemingly ever-increasing as governments and companies respond to the needs of society.

 

The increase in larger scale projects being developed is critically impacting the need for highly skilled resources.

 

So where are they all?

Construction projects today face numerous challenges, not least a significant shortage of highly skilled resources that are required to successfully deliver projects.

 

Achieving project success in a challenging, pressured, and fast-paced environment requires balancing technical expertise, commercial acumen, and strategic agility.

 

Having rapid access to professionals with these qualities from a high-performing project services consultancy is proving to be a vital tool in the team dynamics of a project. But what do you look for when presented with skilled resource options?

 

At Accura Consulting, our Project Services solution understands, through first-hand experience, what is important to project success and only provides highly skilled resources with key attributes, including:

Hands-on industry experience - there is no substitute for expertise gained through hands-on, live project experience. Our on-demand skilled resources have proven expertise in the field, know how to solve problems, and have practical industry knowledge.

 

Another important attribute our resources possess is agility and responsiveness. When resources are sent on secondment, they need to hit the ground running and be ready to counter unexpected challenges. With highly dynamic projects, resources must be agile and able to align with evolving project goals to minimise disruption.

 

We also look for resources to be Flexible and Cost Effective. If a project needs on-demand skilled resources, it likely needs them urgently so the provider must be able to deploy rapidly.

 

By offering rapid scalable solutions, projects can better control costs while still benefitting from securing a highly qualified skill set, be that in contract management, cost control, or planning and programming.

 

Finally, resources must be able to integrate seamlessly. Technical skills are important but so is the ability to be a true partner and help achieve a successful project outcome. Our people are easy to work with and want your projects to succeed. Think of us as an extension to your team.

Highly skilled resources are a critical component of project delivery but with an ongoing and deepening professional skills shortage, sourcing is a challenge.

 

Partnering with a trusted consultant able to seamlessly integrate highly skilled resources into project teams rapidly offers a solution to resourcing problems.

 

By providing hands-on expertise, agile responses, and flexible resourcing, these services empower businesses to navigate challenges, optimise performance, and achieve their commercial objectives.

 

Utilising services like Accura Consulting’s Project Services is a strategic necessity for construction companies and client organisations alike striving for successful project execution.

At Accura Consulting, our team of experts work with clients to create a tailored solution to problems.
