The real problem
The Real Problem: Construction Compliance is Uniquely Complex
Construction HR operates at the intersection of multiple regulatory worlds. The work is detailed, daily, and unforgiving.
Regulatory pillars
Federal
- Form WH-347 certified payroll
- Davis-Bacon apprentice ratios
- Prevailing wage documentation
- Inflation Reduction Act apprenticeship
- OSHA 300 recordkeeping
State & Local
- SAM.gov prevailing wage updates
- State apprentice ratios (1:1 to 2:3)
- Union CBA management
- Multi-state tax and union dues
- Local health and safety rules
Field realities
Industry-specific tracking
- OJT and RTI hours
- Skill certifications
- Daily apprentice ratios
- Fringe benefit deductions
- Health and safety incidents
International (if applicable)
- UK CSCS, NVQ/SVQ, RIDDOR
- Canadian Red Seal requirements
Weekly lift your team carries
- WH-347 compilation: 8–10 hrs/week
- Apprentice ratio tracking: 4–6 hrs/week
- Prevailing wage updates: 3–4 hrs/week
- Certification tracking: 2–3 hrs/week
- Multi-state payroll: 4–5 hrs/week
- Audit documentation: 5–8 hrs/week
Total: 25–36 hours every week
Annual cost of staying manual
$100,000–$250,000+
Labor at $65K–$135K+ plus violations, rework, quality errors, and lost opportunity.
Your Oracle HCM already has every apprentice record, wage determination, certification, and safety incident. The gap is turning that data into construction-grade compliance intelligence.
The problem isn't your platform. It's the translation of construction-specific requirements into actionable reporting inside a general-purpose HR system. That's where most construction organizations hit a wall.
Foundation
Your Oracle HCM Cloud: A Powerful Foundation
Oracle HCM already captures the construction data you need. The value comes from shaping it into compliance-ready intelligence.
Comprehensive data capture
- Employee master data
- Org structure & projects
- Job assignments
- Payroll: hours, wages, fringe
- Training history
- Safety & incident logs
- Certifications
Flexible by design
- Custom fields for construction data
- Time & labor integrations
- Multi-org and multi-location
- Real-time processing
OTBI native analytics
- Built-in, no extra licensing
- Direct access to HR data
- Low-risk, supported analytics
- Runs where your data lives
The data is there. Oracle HCM is delivering it. The question is: Are you extracting maximum value from it? For most construction organizations, the answer is no—not because Oracle is lacking, but because translating construction-specific compliance into Oracle HCM reporting takes specialized expertise.
Expertise gap
The Expertise Gap: Construction + Oracle
Construction HR reporting is its own discipline. You need dual fluency in Oracle and construction compliance, not a light customization of generic HR reports.
Oracle depth required
- HCM architecture, data model, OTBI
- Certified payroll (WH-347) workflows
- Real-time analytics and data lineage
Construction specificity
- Apprentice-to-journeyperson ratios by state/trade
- Prevailing wage matching across jurisdictions
- Union CBA complexity and fringe structures
- Davis-Bacon, IRA, state and local frameworks
- UK (CSCS, NVQ/SVQ, RIDDOR), Canada (Red Seal)
- OSHA recordkeeping and incident classification
Why typical vendors miss
Most teams come from one side only:
- Generic HR reporting: Can build headcount/payroll, miss construction complexity.
- Oracle technologists: Know the platform, miss construction compliance nuance.
Few combine both specialties end-to-end.
Where PCL fits
PCL does both. Oracle Gold Partner, 10+ years of HCM, and construction HR compliance specialists.
We speak Oracle and construction fluently—and build reports that satisfy auditors, unions, and operations.

Delivery in weeks
How It Works: PCL's Requirements-First Methodology
Side-by-side: the 18+ week industry norm versus PCL's 8-week, requirements-first path.
Old approach (18+ weeks, $100K+)
- Weeks 1–6: Requirements workshops and conflicting interpretations
- Weeks 7–12: Development built on assumptions
- Weeks 13–18: Rework once misalignment is discovered
Outcome: slow, expensive, and frustrating.
PCL approach (8 weeks, fixed price)
Phase 1: Discovery (Week 1)
- Kickoff, scope, and timeline
- PCL HCM Report Assistant template issued
- Initial Oracle HCM questions answered
Phase 2: Requirements (Weeks 2–4)
- Construction-specific template completion
- AI guidance for clarity; async pace
- PCL feasibility review + quick validations
- Requirements locked; no scope creep
Phase 3: Rapid build (Weeks 5–7)
- Reports delivered in waves to your HCM
- 3-day feedback cycles and refinements
- Integration testing with your data
- QA and production validation
Phase 4: Go-live (Week 8)
- All 50 reports in production
- Live training for your HR team
- 30 days of post-go-live support
- Handoff: you own the reports
Total: 8 weeks from kickoff to production.
