Subcontractor Management Services That Keep Every Trade Accountable

When a subcontractor struggles, the whole project feels it. In an AGC and FMI risk survey, 70% of respondents said they saw more subcontractor distress or defaults than the year before. Our team helps you vet, hire, track, and pay your subcontractors the right way, so every trade shows up, does the work, and hands over the paperwork on time.

What Happens When Subcontractors Go Unmanaged

Talk to an Estimator

Small Problems Turn Into Big Delays

A sub who misses one delivery or one inspection can hold up three other trades. Without regular follow-up, these small slips stack up fast. Steady tracking catches issues while they are still easy to fix, and our construction planning and scheduling services help keep every trade tied to the same timeline.

Paperwork Gaps Become Legal and Financial Risks

Missing insurance, unsigned waivers, or unclear scopes can expose you to claims, liens, and unpaid work. These gaps often show up at the worst time, like during closeout or after an accident. Organized records protect you long after the job is done.

Your Team Has Bigger Things to Do

Project managers and superintendents should focus on building, not chasing documents and phone calls. Handing sub-management to a dedicated team frees them to run the job. If you need wider oversight of the whole project, our construction project management services can help too.

How We Help You Manage Every Sub

Subcontractor Prequalification and Onboarding

We review financial health, licenses, safety history, bonding ability, and references before you hire. Approved subs are onboarded with tax forms, licenses, and safety programs collected in one place. You start every job with trades you can rely on.

Bid Invitations and Follow Up

We send bid invitations to qualified subs, answer basic questions, and follow up until you have enough bids. No more chasing trades the day before your bid is due. You get solid coverage for every scope.

Scope Review and Bid Comparison

We line up each sub’s proposal against the plans and specs to spot missing items and unclear exclusions. You see true apples-to-apples pricing before choosing. When you need an independent price to compare against, our construction estimating services can provide one.

Scope of Work and Subcontract Preparation

We write clear scopes of work and help prepare subcontract exhibits based on your contract forms. Every trade knows exactly what is included and what is not. Clear scopes mean fewer arguments later.

Insurance and Bond Tracking

We collect and review certificates of insurance, endorsements, and bonds against your contract requirements. Expiration dates are tracked, and renewals are requested ahead of time. You stay protected throughout the project.

Schedule Coordination With Trades

We share schedule updates with subs, confirm start dates, and follow up on manpower and deliveries. Problems are flagged to your team early. Trades show up when they are needed.

Progress and Performance Tracking

We track each sub’s progress, quality issues, safety concerns, and responsiveness. Simple scorecards show who is performing and who needs attention. You make better decisions on this job and the next one.

Pay Application Review and Lien Waivers

We check each pay request against completed work, retainage terms, and stored materials. Conditional and unconditional lien waivers are collected on time. Your payments stay accurate and protected.

Subcontractor Change Order Review

When subs submit change requests, we check them against their original scope and the actual change. Unsupported charges are questioned with clear notes. You pay fairly for real extra work only.

Public Project Compliance Tracking

On public work, we track certified payroll, prevailing wage reports, and diversity participation goals. Missing reports are followed up quickly. You avoid payment holds and compliance problems.

Backup Planning for Struggling Subs

When a sub starts falling behind, we help document issues, send notices, and line up backup options. Early action limits the damage to your schedule and budget. You are never left without a plan.

Closeout Document Collection

We gather warranties, operation and maintenance manuals, as-built markups, and final waivers from every subcontractor. Missing items are tracked until complete. Your project closes out cleanly and on time.
