INDUSTRIES WE WORK WITH

HR & Compliance for Construction

From site safety and award compliance to subcontractor agreements we help construction businesses stay compliant, protect their people, and win more work

THE INDUSTRY

Construction moves fast

Your HR should keep up

Construction is one of the most regulated industries in Australia. Between complex Modern Awards, strict WHS obligations, and high-risk work environments, the margin for HR error is slim and the cost of getting it wrong is high.

CLM Solutions works with builders, subcontractors, and trade businesses to build HR and safety systems that are as robust as the structures you put up. We handle the compliance, the paperwork, and the hard conversations so you can stay focused on the job site.

WHAT WE SOLVE

HR challenges unique to construction

We understand the risks, the regulations, and the realities of running a construction business.

HR

Comprehensive HR support from attracting top talent to developing your workforce. We partner with you through every stage of the employee lifecycle.

Contractor vs Employee

Misclassification is a major risk in construction. We review your engagement models, draft compliant subcontractor agreements, and ensure you meet sham-contracting laws.

Award & Pay Compliance

The Building and Construction General On-site Award is complex. We ensure your classifications, pay rates, allowances, and penalty rates are 100% accurate — protecting you from underpayment claims.

Construction faces some of the highest workplace claim rates in Australia.

Fair Work and safety regulators are actively targeting the construction sector for underpayments, sham contracting, and WHS breaches. The businesses that survive and thrive are the ones that treat compliance as a competitive advantage — not an afterthought.

HR Health Check for Every Business

Australian workplace laws change constantly, and compliance gaps multiply as your team grows. Don’t wait for a Fair Work audit, claim, or costly dispute to find out where your business is exposed.

Take our quick, 10-minute Online HR Health Check to spot hidden compliance risks across your employee lifecycle from recruitment to exit management.

Get an instant, tailored risk score and practical recommendations to protect your business and scale with confidence.

When we first engaged CLM Solutions, our business was growing rapidly-outpacing our existing systems, HR, and WHS protocols. We knew we needed to establish proper foundations but were unsure where to start.
