The construction industry across the Asia Pacific region is multifaceted, spanning many sectors including residential, commercial, industrial, institutional and infrastructure.

While background checks aren’t usually associated with hiring in this industry, this needs to change. Workers at every level, from architects and engineers to project managers, equipment operators and labourers, have critical roles to play in the construction process. Unqualified or inept workers, and those with criminal tendencies, can cause ripple effects that threaten worksite safety, project profitability and more.
