General Contractors
General Contractor System is the only system that combines subcontractor prequalification with ongoing contractor evaluation utilizing a flexible risk scoring methodology.
Effective contractor management is essential to the success of a construction enterprise. Because contractors and vendors are integral to most construction projects, identifying contractors and vendors who have experience, financial strength, and a solid safety record, and continuously monitoring their performance is vitally important.
Contractor Prequalification and Qualification System (PreQ&Q™) is an online-based tool that automates, standardizes and centralizes contractor prequalification and qualification. PreQ&Q electronically collects and verifies relevant prequalification information including financial, safety, and insurance data. It analyzes this information producing an easy to understand risk score that assists general contractors in making qualification decisions. For prequalified contractors, PreQ&Qtm monitors ongoing qualification based on real time data collected from field documents, audits, incidents and training records.
