About this trade
General labour is the trade most often hired last and missed first. The right crew on a tight day saves a TI schedule. The wrong crew or none at all stalls the whole sequence.
Syndex narrows the list to verified labour crews — WCB current, manually reviewed, commercial scope. Not a temp agency, not a day-labour app.
Common project types

TI demo, ceiling tile strip, fixture removal, careful demo around live MEP.

Stock truck unloads, floor-to-floor moves, hoisting coordination.
Dust & noise control
Temp walls, zip walls, HEPA filtering, after-hours noisy work.
Temporary protection
Floor protection, corner guards, masking, weather barriers.
What to know when hiring
Four things GCs check before they sign.
WCB is not optional
Many "labour" crews lack proper WCB coverage. Verified WCB is a Syndex network baseline. Confirm before letting anyone on site.
Specify the work, not just the headcount
"Two guys for demo" gets you two guys. "Two-person crew for office TI demo, careful around live electrical" gets you the right two guys.
Daily vs weekly availability
Some labour crews book full weeks, others take day-of calls. Specify the duration in your request.
Coordinate with the on-site supervisor
Labour quality lives or dies on the supervision they get from your project manager. Brief them before they show up.
