The bottleneck is labour.

Sourcing that doesn't scale

20–30% skimmed off every placement — for an introduction you could have made yourself. The margin goes to the middleman, not the crew doing the work.

Repetitive compliance headaches

The same CSCS, JIB and CompEx tickets, re-submitted for every new GC and every new scheme.

A reputation locked in other people's heads

Your track record lives in phone calls, so the work goes to whoever's known, not whoever's best.

Real demand, straight from the top.

Projects are created on this platform. General contractors source crews through it. That means the demand you see is real, funded and gated. When you win it, you contract directly with the GC.

Mandate flows from the owner through the Tier 1 contractor to the verified Tier 2 MEP contractor, while evidence flows back up.

A new way to win work & keep it

Verify each operative's credentials once. Checked at source, held in a wallet that travels with the crew from scheme to scheme. Every job you deliver is sealed to the same record.

No more repetitive compliance paperwork

Verify each operative's credentials once. Checked at source, held in a wallet that travels with the crew from scheme to scheme. Every job you deliver is sealed to the same record.

  • Verify once, and it's done. CSCS, JIB and CompEx checked at source, held in a wallet that travels with your crews. The tickets you upload this month are the last ones you'll ever re-submit.

  • Mobilise the day the job starts. Crews arrive induction-ready, so you're earning from day one instead of waiting on someone's compliance inbox.

  • No more chasing operatives for cards. Expiry dates are tracked and renewals flagged before they bite. The Friday-afternoon phone-round disappears.

How it works

Four steps to get a pipeline of high value work

List once, win direct, get rated, go again.

01

List your crews

Add your crews, trades and availability. Credentials are verified once, at source — that's the last time you'll upload them.

02

Get matched to gated demand

Be matched on track record, reliability and distance — every score explainable. Identity shielded until you choose to respond.

03

Win and contract direct

You contract with the GC, on your terms. We're not a party to it — no agency, no paymaster, no cut of the rate.

04

Deliver and build standing

Work is confirmed by both sides and sealed to your record. Every delivery makes the next bid stronger — and payers get scored too.

List your teams today

Free to list. Free to be matched. Free for your own clients and workforce always. You pay one capped fee only when you're placed.

How it works

Commercial terms, answered plainly.

The questions that decide whether you sign up — payment, liability, safety, and what happens when things go wrong. Where we have a firm answer it’s here; where a policy is still being finalised we say so rather than guess.

How does payment work? Does LabourCore hold or escrow my money?

No. You contract and settle directly with the client. LabourCore never holds your money or sits in the contractual chain.

Who am I actually dealing with? How do I know they’re legitimate?

Every client and live project is verified before demand is published, with a clear evidence trail attached to each opportunity.

What about health & safety on site?

Site duties remain with the contracting parties. LabourCore verifies workforce credentials and keeps that evidence current and portable.

Who’s liable if a crew causes loss or damage?

Liability follows the direct contract between you and the client. LabourCore provides the verified record, but is not a party to the works contract.

What if the other party becomes insolvent? Is my payment protected?

LabourCore does not guarantee or insure payment. Client checks and delivery records help you assess risk before accepting work, while your direct contract governs recovery.

What are the payment terms?

Payment terms are agreed directly between you and the client before appointment, and are shown clearly before you commit to the opportunity.

Is there retention?

Any retention is set by the direct works contract. Where it applies, it must be disclosed in the opportunity and agreed before appointment.

Are there penalties or liquidated damages for missed deadlines?

Only where they are included in your direct contract. LabourCore makes key commercial terms visible before you accept, so there are no platform-imposed penalties.

These answers describe how the platform works today; they aren’t legal advice or a guarantee. Your direct contract with the counterparty governs your commercial terms.
