Construction and Engineering

Construction Industry

For companies in the construction and engineering sectors, the project is the touchstone—the fundamental unit of business activity. But without the right team on the ground, the success of the project is jeopardized.

Whether our clients are assembling the perfect team from multiple jurisdictions around the world, or outsourcing their highly skilled employees for projects on another continent, Fragomen provides what they need to protect the project: practical, predictable, reliable, high-quality service that gets employees on the ground quickly and compliantly.

With 55-plus offices extending services into more than 170 countries, Fragomen offers organized, consistent service regardless of jurisdiction. The technological platform that knits our firm together also helps automate immigration processing—so that the right people can be placed in the right location, anywhere in the world, with unmatched speed-to-ground.

Precision, efficiency, clarity, adaptability: Fragomen strives to embody the values of the clients we serve.

 

They value us for our:

Supportive systems

Fragomen technology was built on decades of accumulated immigration knowledge and experience. The result: well-organized, actionable immigration processes that construction and engineering firms value for accuracy and reliability.

Rather than plague mobility professionals and project managers with legal minutiae, we provide intelligence that they can build, with confidence, into their enterprise and project planning. And their employees enjoy a streamlined immigration experience, with clear steps, uniform data entry, and lists of necessary documents presented in a user-friendly interface.

Fixation on compliance

As recent headlines attest, compliance failures present a dire threat to any company that relies on a mobile workforce; and yet, with forethought and planning, they are usually preventable. Fragomen designs thorough, top-to-bottom immigration compliance and audit programs that help insulate our clients against unexpected legal and reputational crises.

Crisis management savvy

Companies that are embroiled in a compliance crisis often call on our assistance, relying on our stellar reputation for clear advice and swift action. We have helped numerous enterprises extricate themselves from immigration compliance issues, designing comeback plans that restore lost travel permissions and re-establish trust with the public and regulators alike.

Industry advocacy

Even at the height of the COVID-19 crisis, the construction and engineering industry remained crucial to the baseline health of the world economy. As the crisis lingers, we continue to use every tool at our disposal, across jurisdictions, to ensure that our clients’ personnel retain maximum freedom of movement—so that they can continue to carry out the critical missions of their sector.

Scope and scalability

While we are always ready to offer boutique service for narrow client mandates, our global scope allows us to handle unmatched volumes of work—a key factor in reducing costs, particularly for larger enterprises. Our technology upholds our same high quality of service, regardless of scale.

Government affairs

Few industries have developed a tighter interdependence with local jurisdictions than the construction and engineering sectors. From local regulation of individual worksites to high-level government subsidies of major infrastructure projects, the shape and circumstance of their projects are intertwined with government at every level.

Our Government Strategies and Compliance Group helps our clients measure the pulse of local government attitudes and activities.
