# [How to Prevent Fraud in the Construction Industry](https://www.buildingpointsoutheast.com/blog/preventing-fraud-in-your-organization)

Ken Van Bree, CPA, of accounting firm RubinBrown,  discusses how “fraud within the construction industry is now costing an average median loss of $245,000 for organizations. Further, ACFE report that the construction industry’s median loss is approximately $90,000 higher than the average fraud losses across all industries.”

This statistic is quite alarming.  Fortunately, we can help deter these fraudulent costs with technology.  BuildingPoint is proud to offer [CrewSight™](https://www.buildingpointsoutheast.com/field-solutions/workforce-tracking), a workforce management solution for contractors having difficulty keeping projects’ labor costs under control or job sites that require a higher level of security .  [Crewsight](https://www.buildingpointsoutheast.com/field-solutions/workforce-tracking) provides construction companies an automated way of capturing this information in a scalable cloud based Workforce Management Solution for site security, safety, cost control and government compliance in a single, secure and easy-to-use web portal.  Construction companies benefit greatly from knowing when and what workers are on job sites.
