Challenges We Solve

Where Subcontractor Compliance Breaks Down

Construction firms track certificates, licenses and waivers for dozens of subcontractors in email and spreadsheets, so gaps are found after work has started or a payment is due.

Certificates
Insurance certificates expire without anyone noticing
Subcontractor certificates arrive by email in different formats and renew on different dates. Expiry is tracked in a spreadsheet, and a lapsed policy is often found after work is underway.
Requirements
Contract requirements are checked by hand
Each contract sets its own coverage limits, endorsements and additional insured wording. Reviewing every certificate against those terms is slow and easy to get wrong.
Licenses
Licenses and registrations are not verified consistently
Contractor licenses, registrations and trade qualifications vary by state and trade. Verification depends on whoever handles the file that week.
Waivers
Lien waivers are chased by email before every payment
Payment applications need conditional and unconditional waivers in the right form and amount. Missing or incorrect waivers hold up payment or leave the owner exposed.
Safety
Safety documents are scattered across jobs
Safety plans, training records and incident reports are stored by job and by person. Assembling them for a client or insurer audit takes days.
Visibility
There is no single view of compliance status
Project teams, accounts payable and risk managers each keep their own list. Nobody can quickly say which subcontractors are fully compliant today.
