data-contrast=\"auto\">The budget has always been at the centre of construction projects and so unsurprisingly, it\u2019s one of the main drivers for introducing automation to projects and understandably so, given the increasing material, fuel, and wage costs.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With an industry seeking high-value and immediate impact solutions, access-control turnstiles have proven to be a smooth introduction to workflow automation &#8211; from management to contractor.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Security turnstiles have an immediate impact on cost reduction and worker efficiency.\u00a0 The ability to eliminate the manual verification and sign-in of workers frees up a project coordinator to have an impact elsewhere on the project and increases contractors&#8217; time on site with a quick and accurate signing-in process.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">In addition, time and attendance software provide transparent subcontractor management with the ability to see the number of workers supplied by a contracting firm and their hours (even across multiple projects!). Not only allowing the ability to cross-reference and monitor cost but also providing better visibility on deadlines.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Advances in technology and a bit of lateral thinking led to innovative additions to access control functions, launching remote pre-enrolment of contractors via an enrolment link, <\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\">minimising<\/span><span data-contrast=\"auto\"> enrolment time on site.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">With options to input bespoke induction documents and videos too, contractors arrive on site ready to work almost immediately.
