The foundation of a successful construction project: professionals and security

The demand for good skilled workers in the construction industry is high. Projects are delayed due to a shortage of construction specialists. At the same time, strict regulations make hiring staff more complex than ever. Flexbouwers offers a solution, provides experienced skilled workers and ensures that everything is arranged perfectly from an administrative point of view. "We guarantee professionalism and security," says Daan van Dijk, responsible for sales at Flexbouwers.

With a team of eight specialists, Flexbouwers pairs clients with the right professionals. It also takes the entire administrative burden off their hands. "No surprises, no risks. That's what we stand for," Van Dijk said.

Strict rules, tight organization 

The construction industry has strict rules around staffing and hiring. From certifications to payroll: everything has to be legally watertight. And rightly so, Van Dijk believes. "Unfortunately, it is still necessary to be sharp on this. There is too often tampering, to the detriment of temporary workers." Flexbouwers therefore tackles it thoroughly. The company is affiliated with trade association NBBU, certified for payroll (SNA) and accommodation (SNF) and meets VCU safety standards. "Our clients can be confident that everything is right from A to Z. Whether it concerns certification, WKA statements, invoicing with a G account or entries in systems such as Bouwpas, Projectbox and Construction Site Check-in: we make sure it is taken care of."

That administrative certainty makes Flexbuilders a reliable partner in a constantly changing industry. "Laws and regulations are always changing," Van Dijk emphasizes. "Think of the DBA law and the upcoming Wtta legislation. It is therefore increasingly important to really have your affairs in order. This is important for the continuity of our company as well as for our clients." 

Not downtime, but solutions 

The acute construction labor shortage and housing crisis demand decisiveness. Flexbouwers helps construction companies, contractors, assembly companies and production companies meet their deadlines. Van Dijk: "We not only supply skilled workers, but contribute to a larger problem: how do we keep construction going?" By deploying a broad network of international skilled workers, Flexbouwers can move quickly. "We work with fitters from all over Europe, so we can respond quickly and flexibly to demand. That's how we keep construction projects moving." The impact is great, from residential towers in Maastricht to data centers in Eemshaven and the new police unit office in The Hague. "It is satisfying to see our employees contribute to such important projects. Projects like these show our worth. We are extremely proud that we are contributing to the construction of many buildings and at the same time providing a solution to the major personnel shortage in construction and the housing crisis."

Personal guidance, guaranteed quality 

A smooth hiring process goes beyond paperwork. Flexbouwers invests in the development of its skilled workers and guides them from application to completion. "We make sure that everything is correct administratively and that our people have the right certificates and start well prepared," says Van Dijk. Each skilled worker is carefully screened and has the right certificates, such as VCA, GPI and scaffolding or aerial platform certificates. In addition, Flexbuilders arranges SNF-certified housing, personal protective equipment and professional battery-powered tools. "We want our craftsmen to work safely and with confidence. That's why we arrange everything down to the last detail. That too is good employment practice. The safety of our skilled workers is, of course, the most important thing."

What makes working with Flexbuilders unique? The personal approach. With each new project, the team first identifies the client's needs, but also what work, knowledge and skills are needed. Thanks to their technical background, Van Dijk and his colleagues are able to assess which skilled workers are suitable. "Our entire team has experience in construction and a background in the staffing industry. This is how we match the right skilled workers with the right clients and help with their growth goals."  

The personal approach does not stop after the start. "Our project coordinator is always present on the first working day and regularly visits the construction site to make sure everything is running smoothly," Van Dijk says. "That way we stay involved and can move quickly if necessary." 

Pragmatic long-term partner 

Flexbuilders supports many different clients during a variety of construction projects. From roof and facade technology to solar panels, carpentry and scaffolding. "Many of our projects are in non-residential construction, but we always manage to find a suitable fitter for every job. We help our clients quickly, offer continuity on the schedule and together realize the most challenging projects." Flexbuilders sees itself as the flexible shell for construction companies that want security. "We offer speed and flexibility, without compromising on quality or reliability," says Van Dijk. "Our clients know that we are honest and keep our commitments. We want to be the best boy in the class. Of course, that starts with being a good employer and ends with satisfied clients. Unfortunately, being a good employer is not yet a given in our industry. This is where we often distinguish ourselves from our competitors." 

By specializing in niches such as facade technology, scaffolding construction and carpentry, Flexbouwers guarantees quality. "We don't do everything, but what we do, we do really well," Van Dijk concludes.
