Hire tradespeople and workers for construction and civil engineering

Staffing that follows the phases of construction

A construction project rarely needs the same workers from start to finish. The need changes once the ground has been excavated, when the shell is up, and when it is time to paint and hand over. That is why it makes sense to hire people for the phases where your own staffing falls short.

Groundworks, drainage and foundations

The first phase calls for groundworkers, plant operators, sewer workers and concrete workers. This is often where the schedule is most exposed to the weather, and where a few extra pairs of hands can keep the project on track.

Shell and roof

Once the foundations have been cast, bricklayers, carpenters, concrete workers and scaffolders take over. Roofers and insulation fitters follow, so the building can be closed in before winter sets in.

Services and fit-out

Electricians and plumbers install the services, while carpenters fit walls, ceilings, doors and kitchens. Labourers help with carrying, clearing up and preparation, so the skilled trades can spend their time on their own work.

Completion and handover

Painters, carpenters and labourers deal with the final snagging, so you can hand over on time. On renovation and conversion projects, demolition workers may be involved from the very start.

When the schedule slips

Delays in one phase affect the rest of the build. If one trade falls behind, it can make sense to bring in extra people for a short period, so the next contractors can start as planned. The same applies when winter calls for weather protection and drying out, or when the project takes on extra work that was not part of the original plan. The sooner you contact us, the better the chances of finding the right people.

Electrical, plumbing and sewer work require authorisation

As a rule, electrical, plumbing and sewer work must be carried out under an authorised company. The authorisation is issued by the Danish Safety Technology Authority (Sikkerhedsstyrelsen) and is held by the company, not by the individual fitter. If you hire an electrician or a plumber through us, they will therefore work under the responsibility of your company or another authorised company. Read more on the page about hiring an electrician.

Safety and courses on site

Depending on the job, specific courses or certificates may be required, such as an asbestos course for demolition, a crane operator certificate for crane work, or training in erecting scaffolding. State the requirements in your booking, so we can ask about documentation before we propose a worker. Also tell us who will give the introduction to the site safety rules on the first day.

What to tell us when you book

• Trade and number of people, and whether they need to work together as a crew
• The site address and meeting point on the first day
• Start date and expected duration, even if it is uncertain
• Working hours and any weekend work
• Requirements for certificates, driving licence and own tools
• Who the worker reports to on site

Individuals, crews or subcontracting

We provide both our own workers and tradespeople from approved partner companies, so we can put together the team the job requires. If you need a defined part of the build carried out at an agreed price, subcontracting may be a better option than hiring by the hour.

Whatever the solution, you have one contact person with us. Once we have your request, we will come back to you with a specific staffing proposal before anything is agreed. You can book workers directly here on the site.
