Hello, everyone.
This is Enta.
As a countermeasure to next year’s “2024 Problem”—including overtime regulations—there’s going to be a massive surge in temporary workers, lol.
Not just in the slope stabilization industry—the entire construction industry is full of temporary supervisors these days, isn't it?
What do you think of the image of a temporary supervisor?
To be honest, I don't have a very good impression of it lol
The reason is simple.
Because I can't do my job
That's all.
That said, there are people who can do it, so you can't really generalize lol
However, the prevailing perception is that they aren't good at their jobs.
Well, I guess it can't be helped, really.
Temporary supervisors are assigned to a variety of sectors, including the slope stabilization industry, civil engineering, and construction.
That's why I can't just specialize in one thing.
That means I'll have to start from scratch every time, right?
That must be tough.
Now that overtime restrictions are being introduced due to the "2024 Problem," we’ll need two supervisors instead of just one, as was the case until now, and
There's a possibility that labor costs could rise significantly, for example, if the number of employees increases from 3 to 5.
In response to that, I suppose it would be nice if the government office would adjust its general administrative expenses and such right away, wouldn't it...?
No workers, no supervisor—but it still costs money.
No matter how you look at it, the future of the construction industry just doesn't look good.
How are we going to survive here?
Is it changing?
Enta is a company that handles all aspects of basic design, construction, and construction management in-house.
For that reason, there is no work that we have temporary agency workers perform.
The supervisor will carry out the construction work and manage the construction process.
On a busy set, the director focuses on directing, but that doesn't happen very often, lol.
Well, that would be possible if they were first-tier or second-tier subcontractors.
I suppose the major players will explore and decide on the future structure.
Besides, it’s important for us subcontractors to adapt effectively, isn’t it?
However, if the number of temporary workers increases too much, it seems likely to have a significant impact on on-site progress (workflow).
Since the supervisor is inexperienced, there are likely to be various problems, such as construction errors and scheduling issues.
We’re entering an era where we need to use reliable subcontractors to prevent construction errors and the like.
Companies that just provide laborers like they used to might be in trouble!?
I think construction companies should probably try to familiarize themselves with management standards and the like as much as possible.
And among them, we’d like to be the subcontractor that gets chosen.
No matter what the future holds, let’s adapt and evolve successfully!
See you later.
