For specialized construction roles like skilled carpenters or high-volume requests (20+ workers), we'll provide a custom timeline during our initial consultation. In genuine emergencies, we've deployed workers in as little as 6 hours.
Do you handle both temporary and permanent placements?
Absolutely. We offer temporary construction staffing for project-based work, seasonal demands, or trial periods, as well as permanent construction placements for building long-term teams. Many clients start with temporary workers and transition them to permanent roles—we facilitate that seamlessly with transparent temp-to-perm conversion fees.
What areas do you cover?
We're a UK construction recruitment firm with particular strength in London, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds, Aberdeen, Oxford, and Glasgow. However, we serve construction businesses throughout England, Scotland, and Wales. We can deploy workers to sites in Winchester, St Albans, Cardiff, Plymouth, Edinburgh—anywhere you're building, we can get workers there.
How do you ensure worker quality and compliance?
Every construction professional we supply undergoes our comprehensive vetting process: right-to-work verification through Government Gateway, CSCS card validation directly with CITB, trade certification checks with issuing bodies, minimum two professional references, health & safety training verification, and full insurance coverage including £10M public liability.

Don't just take our word for it—here's what construction professionals say about working with Quick Placement.
"We've been using Quick Placement for three years now across multiple sites. They understand construction—not just recruitment. When I need five brickies in Birmingham or ten labourers in London, I make one call and they sort it. Their workers actually show up, know what they're doing, and most importantly, they're fully compliant. Can't ask for more than that."
— James Patterson
Contracts Manager, Patterson Building Services
"Quick Placement saved our project when our previous agency let us down badly. Needed 15 groundworkers for a tight deadline and they had them on-site in 36 hours. Every worker was CSCS certified, turned up when they said they would, and did quality work. We've moved all our labour supply to them now—best decision we made."
— Michelle Roberts
Site Manager, Thames Gateway Development Ltd
"As a small contractor, I need flexibility and reliability. Quick Placement delivers both. Whether I need one carpenter for a day or a full crew for a month, they make it happen. Their pricing is fair, their workers are quality, and they actually care about getting it right. Been working with them for two years and wouldn't go anywhere else."
— Tom Hughes
Owner, Hughes Construction & Refurbishment
"The thing I appreciate most about Quick Placement is their honesty. If they can't supply what you need, they tell you straight rather than sending whoever's available and hoping. When they do send workers, you know they're qualified and compliant. That peace of mind is worth its weight in gold on construction sites."
— David Kumar
Project Director, Midlands Commercial Construction
