Workforce, matched to the scope.
Four services that overlap. Builders normally start with labour hire and pull in the rest as the program tightens.
01 · Labour hire
Construction labour hire
General and skilled labourers, available by the day, the week or the length of a program.
Useful when a program moves, a subcontractor drops off, weather pushes everything right, or a stage needs more hands than the permanent crew can cover. You keep supervision and site control; Nova handles sourcing, availability and the administration behind the placement.
| Typical roles | General labourers, skilled labourers, trade assistants, site cleaners, demolition labourers |
|---|---|
| Engagement | Day work, short-term surge, ongoing placement |
| Standard tickets | Construction Induction Card (White Card) as a minimum; further tickets to scope |
| Supervision | Your site, your supervision, your induction process |
02 · Skilled trades
Skilled trades
Trade-specific workers matched against the actual scope, with tickets checked before they are put forward.
A placement only works if the person fits the job. Nova treats accurate matching — on trade, experience, tickets and availability — as the measure of a good outcome, not how fast a gap gets filled.
| Trades supplied | Carpenters, formworkers, steel fixers, concreters, bricklayers, plasterers, tilers, painters, waterproofers, roof plumbers |
|---|---|
| Plant operators | Excavator, bobcat, EWP and forklift operators to ticket |
| Verification | Tickets and licences sighted and recorded before placement |
| Lead time | Shorter for common trades; specialist scopes need more notice |
03 · Workforce solutions
Workforce solutions
Ongoing planning and supply for builders running several sites at once.
Rather than a fresh scramble every time a stage starts, Nova works to your forecast — what is coming, when, and how many. Numbers scale up and down against the program instead of against a phone call made the night before.
| Best for | Builders and contractors with rolling stages or multiple concurrent sites |
|---|---|
| How it runs | Forecast against your program, then supply to the schedule |
| Contact | One point of contact across every site |
| Flexibility | Scale up for a pour or a handover, scale back after |
04 · Site & project support
Site & project support
The tasks that quietly hold up a program when nobody is free to do them.
Site clean-downs, materials handling, loading and unloading, waste segregation, traffic control and pre-handover preparation. Small scopes, but they sit on the critical path more often than they should.
| Site presentation | Progressive clean-downs, waste segregation, pre-handover clean |
|---|---|
| Materials | Loading, unloading, distribution around site |
| Traffic | Ticketed traffic controllers for deliveries and works zones |
| Access | Labour support for temporary fencing, hoarding and edge protection |
