4 Fundamentals to Control Site Spend

When managing a Construction or Fit-Out project, you’re always on a tight schedule and under pressure to keep the project on track, within budget, and compliant to H&S and sustainability guidelines. There’s a lot to think about, spend controls and budgeting being one of them.
At Bryson, we put your needs first. We focus all our efforts on helping Construction & Fit-Out Contractors like you improve supply of Safety, Fixings and Protection products with the development of our Smarter. Faster. Greener. methodology, known as the "The Bryson Way". It may not be possible to eliminate every additional spend on site but implementing smarter processes and technologies through our industry leading BrysonBase e-Procurement portal, we can help you control site spend with 4 fundamental practices.

1. Core Range

Lock down your core range by product category, subcategory and individual products. All aligned to your agreed business policies locking out non-core or non-compliant products, such as single use plastic products specified by Sustainability teams or PPE specified by Health & Safety teams. Locked out product restrictions can also be applied to different users on the portal, by site level or by user level. All agreed pricing will also be aligned on the portal from our centralised price list, increasing the accuracy of orders and reducing admin around invoice queries.

2. Spend Limits

Falling is a traumatic event, even if you happen to be uninjured. The severe psychological effects of a fall at height can not be understated. A fast heart rate, hyperventilation and severe anxiety are common symptoms, and the shock itself can cause cardiac arrest and other potentially fatal health complications.

3. Automated Approval

Streamline your order approval workflow with built-in approval controls, which can be triggered when spend limits are reached, or on certain users on site. Using advanced user, address & product controls, our order requisition feature allows 1-click order approval. Guaranteed to save you time on ordering and order admin. Give your Finance teams peace of mind that purchase approvals are in place.

4. 4. Reporting

Increased visibility is paramount in controlling spend. Know exactly what your project has ordered at any time with real-time reporting. Keep track of your spend used against spend limit with clear tracking on every project.

The Working at Height Regulations 2005 Explained

The UK has some of the safest work environments on the planet, which is thanks in part to the wide-ranging legislation that covers almost any situation. Nevertheless, a fall from height remains the most dangerous situation in a UK workplace and compliance with the working at height act is a legal obligation. All regulations and requirements are legally enforced by the HSE.
