It is a Monday in Livingston County and the drywall sub you booked two weeks ago is a no-show. You spend the morning calling around for a replacement, and while digging for his paperwork you find out his insurance certificate expired a month ago, which means he was working your job uncovered.
With subcontractor management in place, every sub signs a written agreement, has current insurance on file and gets confirmed a few days before their start date. Their scope, price and schedule live on the job record, and lien waivers come in with every payment.
Your bench gets deeper and steadier. You know which subs show up and do clean work, you stop paying for no-shows with your own weekend, and your customers see a schedule that holds.
Tap the ones that sound like your week.

We collect agreements, insurance, licenses and tax forms from every sub you use.
We write scope sheets, payment terms and the insurance limits you require.
We book subs on each job, confirm before start dates and track no-shows.
Payments go out with lien waivers in hand, and each sub gets a simple scorecard.
What we report every month: Subs with current insurance on file, Sub no-shows and late starts, Lien waivers collected with payments, and Sub scorecards by trade.
It is the paperwork, scheduling and follow-up around every sub you hire. Agreements, insurance, licenses, scope, schedule, payment and lien waivers all have to line up for each job. When they do, subs become a dependable part of your team instead of a weekly gamble.
The fee depends on how many subs you use, how many jobs run at once and how much paperwork is missing at the start. A shop with a few steady subs and some loose files is quick. A larger bench across many trades and projects needs ongoing tracking.
A certificate of insurance shows a sub's coverage on the day it was issued. Policies renew or lapse, and nobody tells you. Track expiration dates, ask to be added as an additional insured where your contracts require it, and get a fresh certificate before each new job.
A good sub agreement covers scope, price, schedule, payment terms, insurance, cleanup and warranty work. The scope sheet for each job should be specific enough that two people reading it agree on what is included. We prepare the templates and have your attorney review them.
Relying on one sub per trade leaves you stuck when they get busy. Keep at least a backup in each trade, pay on time and treat good subs like part of the crew. Reliable subs talk to each other, and a reputation for paying on time travels fast.
Quick and personal, but paperwork gaps and no-shows catch up with you.
Helps on big projects, but adds a salary for work that can run on a system.
We track insurance, write scopes, schedule and confirm subs, and collect lien waivers with every payment.
