Problem
UK construction companies face a persistent shortage of skilled workers, with site managers among the hardest roles to fill. Traditional hiring through agencies adds 20-35 percent margins to every hour worked, straining cashflow and making it difficult for companies to retain trusted teams.
Solution
UrProject provides a direct-hiring platform that connects construction companies with verified site managers, trades, and labour without agency intermediaries. The platform includes geofenced clock-ins from workers' phones, digital timesheets with weekly approval flows, and KYC-verified workforce management with certification tracking. Companies can bring existing workers onto their books while staying CIS-compliant, and rebook the same people job after job with no repeat fees. The platform also generates per-project cost breakdowns, PDF proof packs, and payroll-ready CSV exports, replacing both agency services and fragmented spreadsheet-based management.
Target Audience
Primary customers are UK construction companies, project managers, and site managers who need to hire and manage verified site labour, trades, and management staff without agency fees.
