Tasks A Virtual Assistant Can Do for Your Construction Company
Construction work can be seasonal, and many businesses rely on word-of-mouth and referrals to generate most of their prospects. Many construction project managers, superintendents, and business owners are swamped with work during the busy seasons of the year and can’t keep up with the administrative side of the business. When demand is high, it’s challenging to keep up with bids, proposals, and phone calls, which often means missing out on prospective revenue.
With the correct support and expertise, a virtual assistant (VA) may be the next member of your team, helping you develop your construction company economically. Here’s how to do it.
- Construction project management support
Is your construction project manager overworked? Is she or he forgetting important details as a result of a heavy workload? A virtual assistant can be useful. A virtual assistant can help your project manager keep jobs on track and organized by handling the minor administrative tasks that accrue with each build.
A virtual assistant can keep everything on track while your project manager focuses on critical tasks like on-site operations management and financials.
- Online Presence management
A lot of construction companies believe they don’t need websites or extensive digital marketing—and as specialists in their profession, they’re frequently correct. Some business owners make the mistake of presuming their web presence does not require any upkeep. This might result in lost leads if your Google listing is wrong or auto-generated, your website is difficult to navigate and amateurish, and potential customers cannot find you with a simple web search.
With content creation and editing, a virtual assistant may aid you in getting your website up to speed. A remote developer can assist you with resolving bothersome website difficulties and adding any missing pages or material that you’ve been wanting to work on. A virtual assistant can update your social media channels to build an on-brand, consistent social networking presence, as well as curate industry-related information on your channels.
A virtual assistant can also assist you with blogging and email marketing to increase your lead nurturing and SEO. Your digital presence is important in this day and age, when everyone searches online before hiring; a virtual assistant can assist.
- Improving and streamlining internal operation
Your VA can introduce and assist your team in using the correct tools for the job, whether it’s a new automation tool, improved workflows, or streamlined communication software. A virtual assistant can also assist you in managing your CRM and using the contacts you’ve amassed over the years. A virtual assistant can help you save time and improve internal operations.
- Customer Service
Is your manager swamped with bid requests or phone calls? A virtual assistant can assist with duties that support your clients, relieving pressure on your current workforce and increasing customer service. Accelerate your bidding process and eliminate losing leads due to delayed reaction time. Please return all unanswered emails and voicemails.
- Hiring and Recruitment Support
Construction companies frequently hire, especially during peak seasons. Hiring the proper team is critical, but it can take a long time and is especially difficult for small and medium-sized teams. A virtual assistant can aid you with posting and publicizing open positions, managing incoming applications, screening applicants, and scheduling and/or conducting screening interview
