Smarter Subcontractor Tracking Starts with Location Codes

Superintendents overseeing today’s complex jobsites know that traditional gate logs just don’t cut it anymore.

As the industry moves toward larger and more intricate projects, workforce oversight needs to evolve. That’s where FCA’s new Location Codes feature comes in.

What Are Location Codes?

Location Codes let project teams assign unique identifiers to specific access points within designated zones on a jobsite. For example, imagine a clean room area with two separate gates: one labeled Clean Room Gate 1, the other Clean Room Gate 2. With Location Codes, you can track exactly which gate subcontractors use to access that zone.

Need a subcontractor to enter only through Gate 1 on a particular day? Set that expectation—and then use FCA’s dashboard to verify compliance in real time. Location Codes give you precise control and visibility over worker movement across complex jobsites.

Why This Matters for Superintendents

On large jobs, tracking subcontractor deployment by zone is critical to hitting schedule milestones and ensuring accountability.

Here’s how Location Codes help:

• 🔍 Zone-Level Visibility: Know if crews are showing up to the right part of the jobsite—no more wondering if the concrete team is stuck at the wrong entrance.
• 📊 Better Reporting: Run manpower reports by zone or gate to verify subcontractor performance and spot gaps early.
• 🧰 Supports Complex Logistics: On data centers or mission-critical builds, timing access by zone (clean rooms, secure areas, etc.) is non-negotiable—Location Codes make this manageable.
• 🤝 Clearer Subcontractor Expectations: If you promised a client 20 electricians in Wing C by Tuesday, you can now verify that—down to the gate they used.

The Big Picture

Location Codes aren’t just about data—they’re about giving superintendents the tools they need to stay in control when the pressure is on. As jobsites grow in scale and scope, features like this aren’t “nice to have.” They’re essential.
