How we review contractors.

What do we review before contractor approval?

We review business identity, commercial experience, declared service area and capacity, relevant credentials, and references before contractor approval. Applications and supporting files are reviewed in a private portal. Each completed check needs a recorded source, finding, or reason. The review also records who completed the check and when.

Business identity

Company and business contact information, with a recorded source and finding.

Commercial experience

Relevant commercial project examples and the work the company says it performs.

Service area & capacity

Declared service areas, project size, and operating arrangements. Availability still needs confirmation for your project.

Credentials

License, insurance, or certification evidence relevant to the application. The reviewer records the source and any expiry date; a not-applicable decision needs a reason.

References

Project reference information supplied with permission to share business contact details, with the reviewer’s source and finding recorded.

What does contractor approval allow?

Contractor approval allows a company that has completed the required review checks to opt in to consideration for private contractor suggestions. Only the credentials category can be marked not applicable, with a recorded reason. Recorded expired evidence must be resolved before approval.

The company must separately agree to share its profile before it can be considered for introductions. During the current pilot, the application portal records this status as “Approved for pilot.”

How do you confirm a contractor’s fit for your project?

You confirm a contractor’s fit by checking comparable work, the proposed crew, current capacity, credentials, and the details of your scope. Our team’s suggestion includes why the company was selected and what still needs confirmation. Contractor profile information is supplied by that company.

• Ask for comparable work, the proposed crew, and relevant project references.
• Confirm the project location, start window, crew capacity, and operating arrangements.
• Confirm current insurance and any licensing or qualification requirements with the appropriate parties.
• Resolve scope, exclusions, engineering responsibilities, and reopening criteria before agreeing to the work.

Who receives your project details?

Our team receives your selected project copy when you request contractor suggestions. Contractors receive it only after you approve their individual invitations. You select optional attachments and whether to include your contact details.

Each invited contractor sees its own project conversation. Your private tracking notes and competing proposal comparisons are excluded from the shared brief. Closing a request or revoking an invitation ends contractor access; previously downloaded copies cannot be recalled.
