MSite - Galliford Try Case Study

Leading construction group Galliford Try has adopted the innovative MSite workforce management system as part of its plans to develop a major new build-to-rent residential scheme in Leeds. The group will utilise the MSite Workforce App across the £105m project to generate significant new on-site efficiencies. The new project, which is being constructed on behalf of Highline Investments at the Monk Bridge site in Leeds city centre, will feature 665 homes once completed. Across five different apartment blocks, which will vary between 12 to 22 storeys in height, there will be a mix of one, two and three-bedroom apartments. For Galliford Try, the project represents a significant investment, particularly in a difficult economic environment. As such, the company enlisted help from the productivity experts MSite and its innovative workforce system, for assistance in improving on-site practices and communication. In turn, the MSite workforce management system is allowing Galliford Try to respond more effectively to the challenges associated with COVID-19, ensuring that safer, more secure workplaces are maintained at all times. With the MSite platform, Galliford Try is able to deliver immediate messages directly to workers, as well as operate contactless site access control. Through these technologies, the company is able to enact more stringent screening policies with regards to COVID-19 symptoms. In fact, on the Monk Bridge project, all on-site workers are required to complete a coronavirus self-assessment form before being allowed through the turnstile unit. Unlike previous iterations, the latest version of MSite is fully operational via each individual worker’s personal mobile phone, which eliminates any reliance on shared, biometric fingerprint scanners. With the risk of site closures still elevated due to the ongoing pandemic, investing in MSite has afforded Galliford Try an additional layer of protection, not only for its workers, but for the project overall.
