The construction industry never stops moving — but that doesn’t mean your workforce always keeps up. Between fluctuating project timelines, evolving scopes, and a nationwide shortage of skilled tradespeople, maintaining the right crew at the right time can feel like a constant balancing act. That’s where temporary staffing comes in.

Partnering with a trusted staffing company like Unlimited Services Available gives you agility, reliability, and peace of mind — all while keeping your projects on schedule and your costs under control.

1. Scale Your Workforce to Fit Each Project

Every project is unique — one job may demand additional electricians, while another needs general laborers or HVAC techs. Instead of overstaffing or scrambling to hire, temporary staffing allows you to scale up or down as needed.

At Unlimited Services Available, we work closely with you to understand your jobsite requirements and provide carefully vetted workers ready to step in immediately — no downtime, no guesswork.

2. Save Time — Let Us Handle Recruitment & Onboarding

Hiring takes time. Screening, interviewing, verifying certifications, and onboarding all eat into your bandwidth. With a staffing partner like us, you can offload those tasks:

We recruit and vet candidates
We verify credentials, licenses, and background checks
We oversee basic safety training and orientation
We coordinate scheduling and deployment

This lets your management team focus on operations, not HR logistics.

3. Lower Overhead & Mitigate Risk

Using temporary staffing helps you avoid the fixed costs and liabilities associated with full-time labor during slower periods. You only pay for the workforce you need, when you need it.

Plus, since all temporary workers are employed (or co-employed) through Unlimited Services Available, we assume many of the HR, payroll, and workers’ compensation responsibilities — reducing administrative burden and legal exposure.

4. Get Access to Skilled, Pre-Vetted Talent

We’re not just a staffing provider — we’re your workforce partner. Our candidate pool includes skilled tradespeople and general laborers across specialties:

Carpenters
Electricians
HVAC technicians
Plumbers
General labor & helpers

Every worker is screened for experience, reliability, and safety standards — so when they arrive on your site, they represent your company well.

5. Stay Competitive in a Tight Labor Market

Labor shortages are hurting construction growth across the U.S. The industry is projected to need 439,000 net new workers in 2025 just to keep pace with demand.

Even more stark: many firms report project delays, cost inflation, or turning down work because they simply can’t find enough skilled labor. ABC Central Texas+3Travelers+3ConstructConnect+3

By building a reliable staffing relationship, you gain access to a pre-vetted workforce when you need it most — giving you a competitive edge in a challenging market.

6. Compliance & Safety — Shared Responsibilities You Can Trust

One concern many firms have is safety and regulatory compliance, especially when working with temporary workers. The good news: when structured properly, staffing partnerships can strengthen your compliance posture rather than weaken it.

OSHA & Joint Responsibility

At a federal level, temporary staffing agencies and host employers share responsibility for protecting worker safety and health. OSHA+5OSHA+5OSHA+5

This means both parties must ensure:

Basic safety training
Site-specific hazard communication
Recordkeeping and injury reporting
Provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Regular communication about hazards and changes to site conditions

Each party’s precise responsibilities may differ by contract and jobsite, but the legal obligation is shared. OSHA+6OSHA+6OSHA+6

To help ensure clarity:

Define responsibilities in your staffing contract
Maintain open communication about site hazards
Confirm that temporary workers receive the same site-specific safety instruction as full-time staff

Following these best practices not only protects workers — it also reduces your exposure to OSHA fines or liability.
