The sub that gets hurt on your site is your problem. Make sure you know who you’re letting through the gate.

The Problem.

A GC awards you a job. You bring in three subs — the concrete guy you’ve used before, an electrical sub you found through a referral, and a scaffolding company that gave you the best price. You got their insurance certificates. That’s as far as it went.

Six weeks in, the scaffolding sub has an incident. Nobody on your team had looked at their EMR before they started. Nobody had verified that their workers were properly trained for the work. The insurance certificate was current but it was the only thing anyone checked.

Now you’re in a conversation with the GC about what your subcontractor qualification process looked like — and the honest answer is that it didn’t really exist beyond the insurance certificate.

What We Do

We build a structured subcontractor prequalification process that automatically collects and verifies the safety information you need before a sub steps on your site.

Every sub gets a prequalification questionnaire covering their safety record, their EMR history, their training programs, their incident rates, and their key personnel qualifications. Insurance certificates are tracked with expiry alerts. Trade-specific certifications are verified and logged.

When a sub passes prequalification, they go on your approved vendor list. When their insurance or certifications approach expiry, you get an alert before you bring them back. When a new sub applies, the same structured process runs automatically — you review the results, not the paperwork.

What Changes

100% of subs prequalified before site access Automatic insurance and cert expiry alerts Minutes to onboard a new sub, not days

• Every sub goes through the same structured prequalification — no more informal ‘I’ve used them before’ exceptions
• EMR, incident rates, and safety program quality evaluated before award
• Insurance certificates tracked with automatic expiry alerts — you know before they lapse
• Trade-specific certifications verified and logged per sub and per worker
• Approved vendor list maintained automatically — who is cleared, for what type of work, and until when
• When a GC asks for your sub qualification process, you can show them a documented system, not a verbal answer

The GC Perspective

General contractors are increasingly asking specialty subs to demonstrate their subcontractor qualification process as part of prequalification for larger projects. A documented, systematic approach to sub safety verification is a competitive differentiator — not just a risk management tool.

Who This Is For

• You regularly use subcontractors and the qualification process is inconsistent or based on relationships rather than documented verification
• You’ve had a sub-related safety incident and the GC or insurer asked what your qualification process was
• You’re working on larger projects where the GC requires documented subcontractor qualification from all subs and specialty contractors
• Your insurance certificates for active subs are tracked manually — or not tracked at all until renewal
