Subcontractor & crew coordination · Solar & renewables installation
Compliant crews on site, paid on time.
An electrician shows up with a lapsed license or a roofer's COI names the wrong insured. The schedule slips and the unpaid trades go quiet.
The reality
Crew coordination is a compliance race.
A sub gets scheduled, then someone realizes their workers' comp certificate expired or the C-46 license can't be verified, and the crew can't be on a roof until it's resolved. Meanwhile last month's pay app is buried and the trade is threatening to walk.
The operator verifies licenses and COIs before mobilization, confirms the schedule with each crew, issues the purchase order, and processes the pay application on completion — keeping every sub current, scheduled, and paid.
