Assessments for construction

On a building site crews work together who often never met. Who keeps to agreements and who cuts the corner under time pressure decides whether a project delivers safely and on time. That behaviour can be measured in advance.

hrmforce measures safety awareness, cooperation and learning ability, including with tradespeople without a certificate.

Roles in construction

In construction almost everyone grows up from the floor. The question is who can take that step. These roles come up most often.

The step from tradesperson to foreman

The best carpenter often becomes foreman, and that regularly goes wrong. Craft says little about leading a crew, scheduling subcontractors or holding a difficult conversation with the client. A measurement up front shows whether someone wants and can take that direction. In recruitment something else plays: safety incidents relate more to work attitude than to trade knowledge, and you do not see that attitude in an introductory interview.

How we measure that

Assessments used in construction

These instruments are used most often in this sector. Every assessment has its own page with the evidence base and example questions.

How a construction company sets it up

1

For the floor you keep it short: a fifteen minute behavioural measurement, completed on the phone.

2

For the move to foreman you add the leadership test, and discuss the outcome in a development conversation.

3

Project leaders also get an ability test, because planning and estimating weigh heavier there.

What it delivers

Construction companies use the measurement mostly around promotion. A development conversation with a report in hand is about concrete behaviour rather than about a feeling.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work for people who read little?+

The questionnaires are short and in plain language. The ability test uses figures, so language hardly weighs there.

Can we use this with hired staff as well?+

Yes. Many companies let the agency run the measurement and receive the outcome with the introduction.
