Building a Travel Program for Project-Based Construction

Nov 08, 2024 | Tips & Resources

It can be daunting to create an effective travel program for project-based construction, which is why we do the heavy lifting for you. Whether your team is large or small, or your stay is short or long, CLC Lodging is here to accommodate each crew’s needs.

A well-planned travel program balances cost efficiency, administrative ease, and crew support, which ensures productivity and satisfaction for clients and crew members, without compromising on the essentials.

Manage your crew's lodging budget

Empower your crews to find and book hotels with our user-friendly options—online, through the CLC app, directly with hotels, or by phone. Plus, with no need to worry about the hassle of prepayment. You can simply pay after your stay. With access to a large network of hotels with pre-negotiated and discounted rates, you can effectively control lodging costs.

The benefits don’t just end there. CLC members can also assign multiple project codes to track travel expenses by team, division, and project. For large projects, we even negotiate special rates that help guarantee you the best lodging deals. Our customizable lodging directories help enforce your travel policies, encouraging adherence to controls on rates, locations, and amenities.

Allow your administrators to reclaim their day

At CLC, we understand how resource-intensive it can be to manage booking requests and provide ongoing support to crews. Leave it to our dedicated team to handle these details. When you book through CLC Lodging, you will adhere to your travel policy, control costs, and simplify your billing with consolidated reports in one place.

Just use the CLC online portal to make requests, track reservations, view invoices and payment status, and monitor spending.

Give your crew round-the-clock support

We’re here for you, which is why our lodging experts are available 24/7 to assist your employees with reservation changes and support. And with CLC Lodging, you’re able to easily locate your crew, prevent unauthorized charges, and protect your travelers from fraudulent credit card activity.

Another way we help your crew is our virtual per diem solution, the Trip Card, which allows you to load a fixed amount onto a virtual card to cover your crew’s travel expenses like meals, fuel, and more within a designated time frame. This enables crew members to focus on their work without worrying about out-of-pocket payments.

We’ve also made it easier to find suitable truck parking by adding filters for different types of hotel truck parking on our mobile app. This feature helps your crew members quickly choose the right option when booking their hotels, so the last concern they have is about where to park. All of these aspects highlight CLC’s commitment to providing you with a stress-free experience and your crew with the tools and support they need to prioritize the project at hand.
