Challenge

Shortage of workers to cover all the PMU areas is one of challenge in handling this project. The current workforce shortage is a veritable perfect storm of low supply due to downsizing from the recession, experienced workers aging-out, and lack of interest from the upcoming generations, as well as the high demand of the current construction boom that spans various market sectors simultaneously.

Solution

Hire subcontractor who have expertise in handling this kind of projects. Hiring subcontractors allow our business more flexibility and allows us to find those additional “helping hands” for larger or specialized contracts and create a custom team for every new client or project. There may come a time when our company will need to take on a project that will require the services of a qualified specialist that can add value for our client and be “part of OMMeR team.” 

Results

Our subcontractors will often offer a superior service and provide expertise. In most cases, they have been working in a specific field for a number of years and have had ample opportunity to hone their skills. Furthermore, our subcontractor is likely to have done similar work before and will be able to get the job done quickly and efficiently.

Increasing productivity is probably the biggest benefit of working with a subcontractor. Rather than bogging your employees down with simple but mundane tasks, we have outsource these projects to a third party. Doing so will allow your staff to focus on core business needs and may actually get the job done faster if your subcontractor has expertise in this area. The subcontractor give a full commitment and complete the projects as per required by Tenaga Nasional Berhad.
