Getting work guides

Tell the builder which trade package you can cover, show comparable work, and ask who reviews new trade partners.

Review permission, classification, authority, insurance, and the builder's process before adding another company to your package.

Give a builder one readable page showing what you perform, where you work, who supervises, and which projects support the offer.

Compare the actual scope, release pattern, supervision, returns, and payment process before choosing a builder relationship.

Define the project, ask for comparable references, check credentials, and compare written scopes before you choose a general contractor.

Use project fit, permitted introductions, association sources, and official checks to build a trade-business prospect list.

Find builders that fit your crew, show relevant work, and turn a focused introduction into the next account decision.

Follow the builder's trade-partner process and track application, qualification, invitation, and award as separate decisions.

Prepare your scope, credentials, business records, and first builder conversation before accepting a residential trade package.

Price a defined package from your own costs, then make the documents, scope, assumptions, exclusions, and terms clear.

Check the contracting entity, ask trades about specific jobs, and review site readiness, changes, and payment before committing.

Put the company identity, licensing checks, insurance, cash plan, and estimating process in place before taking work.

Plan the next account while protecting current commitments, checking the cash gap, and keeping capacity claims accurate.

Define the builders your business can serve, research a short list, and ask each company how it considers new trade partners or suppliers.
