On a Wednesday afternoon, Trades Labour Corporation (TLC) dispatch received an urgent call from a local construction company in crisis.
Their project manager explained that the team originally hired to prepare a newly built commercial property for occupancy that weekend was experiencing major absentee issues and falling behind on critical finishing work. The timeline was tight, and the stakes were high—a delay could compromise their reputation and create contractual penalties.
The Challenge
The job site needed to be ready for inspection and turnover within 72 hours, but with production behind and not enough hands on deck, it seemed nearly impossible to catch up. The site superintendent needed a reliable crew fast—and that’s exactly what TLC delivered.
Rapid Response
By 5:00 a.m. the next morning, TLC had mobilized a full crew of qualified, safety-trained labourers.
By 6:00 a.m., they were on-site, briefed, and working.
The productivity on Thursday was impressive. TLC workers quickly made up lost ground, helping clean, prepare, and finish multiple areas of the building that had been stalled for days.
But by the end of the day, it became clear—more manpower was still needed to meet the Friday deadline.
Double Shifts, Zero Delay
That evening, the superintendent reached out again—this time asking for back-to-back shifts: an early day crew and an overnight team to work through the night.
With very little notice, the TLC team sprang into action again, repositioning and dispatching two full shifts to keep progress moving 24/7. Thanks to the flexibility and responsiveness of the TLC dispatch team, the job was completed on time and ready for occupancy as scheduled.
“TLC was a lifesaver. We were behind and stressed—then they showed up with a crew that worked hard, fast, and without excuses.”
