PREQUALIFY, THEN ONBOARD

Use the checklist after selection to coordinate the path to mobilization.

Prequalification helps a team evaluate a potential trade partner before award. Onboarding turns the award into a controlled handoff: documents arrive, responsibilities are assigned, project requirements are shared, and exceptions reach the right reviewer.

The generated checklist is a starting point, not legal, tax, insurance, licensing, or safety advice.

COMMON QUESTIONS

About contractor onboarding checklists

What should a contractor onboarding checklist include?

For construction work, a checklist commonly covers company and tax setup, insurance evidence, licenses, contract documents, safety requirements, project contacts, scheduling, access, and a final human review before mobilization.

Is subcontractor onboarding the same as prequalification?

No. Prequalification usually supports a pre-award decision. Onboarding happens after selection and coordinates the company, contract, project, safety, and mobilization steps needed before work begins.
