Boosting Construction Site Productivity with Kennards Hire Project Managers

Productivity has always been the heartbeat of the construction industry, but in 2025 it’s under more pressure than ever. According to the 4th annual Kennards Hire Construction Confidence Check, an essential read, 91% of construction industry leaders expect growth over the next 5 years. That’s good news, but with delays and inefficiencies eroding margins, our equipment hire and project management solutions can help construction projects to stay on budget and maintain productivity and safety.

Equipment delays or faults, multi-supplier coordination and project management expertise gaps are three of the main reasons why project productivity is compromised, and aspects such as safety and quality are impacted.

Our integrated equipment hire and project management services remove costly and frustrating parts of your project.  We give you a single point of contact to coordinate your range of equipment, site delivery logistics and equipment safety and maintenance. 

Project Management Matters More Than Ever

The Construction Confidence Check showed that 99% of businesses have cost-saving and productivity front of mind for equipment to keep projects moving. Leaders are investing in technology, outsourcing project management expertise and hiring equipment to reduce capital outlay and increase flexibility.

As equipment becomes more specialised, construction managers need to manage more suppliers and their equipment. This means there are more delays and cost increases across a project, which can be avoided. Our Project Managers provide comprehensive project planning, installation and equipment maintenance, all with a single point of contact. This addresses three major pain points from the Kennards Hire Construction Confidence Check;

1. 36% of leaders waste time managing multiple suppliers
2. 35% report the absence of specialist project management expertise
3. 33% say outdated or faulty equipment is undermining productivity.
