Subcontractors
The GC your crews will thank you for
A general contractor is only as good as its bench, so we treat the bench like it matters. We're prequalifying trades across Texas — and expanding into new states — for small commercial ground-ups, renovations, and mid-size projects.
Working With Us
Six things we owe every trade on our jobs
01
Pay apps get processed, not parked
Net 30 standard terms, a named person who owns your pay application, and no games with retainage releases at closeout. Your cash flow is part of our schedule.
02
Scopes you can actually price
Written scope sheets with inclusions, exclusions, and alternates spelled out. If two trades could own a line item, we decide before bid day — not in a backcharge fight.
03
Schedules built with your input
Durations come from the trades doing the work. When we commit your crew to a window, the site will be ready for you when you roll in.
04
One phone call to a decision
RFIs answered in 48 hours. Change orders priced and signed before the work, not after. A superintendent with authority on site every day.
05
Sites your crews want to work
Clean, sequenced, and safe. Materials land where they're needed, trades aren't stacked on top of each other, and stop-work authority belongs to everyone.
06
Real invitations, not blast emails
When you're prequalified, you get invited to bid work that matches your trade and territory — with drawings, a walk, and enough time to price it right.
Beyond Texas
We're building the bench before we need it
Most GCs scramble for trades after they land work in a new market. We're doing it in the other order: prequalifying strong subcontractors in the places we're headed, so the first project in your state ships with a bench that's already vetted.
If you're a trade outside Central Texas, don't let the map stop you. Tell us where you work — territory is exactly what we're collecting.
