Pre-work compliance
How general contractors can reduce compliance risk before work starts.
The cleanest risk reduction happens before a subcontractor steps onto the jobsite.
Create a gate
Define the files required before work starts. Make the status visible to the team that controls access, schedule, or payment.
Keep it simple for subs
Send one upload link and ask only for the documents you need. A clear request gets better results than a long email chain.
Review before mobilization
Approve, reject, or request corrections while there is still time to act. Do not wait until the crew is already on site.
Pre-work checklist
- Set requirements.
- Collect proof.
- Review status.
- Hold the line before start.
