Prequalification programs have been well established, but questions persist for many in how to choose the best subcontractor, and likewise as a subcontractor, how to put in your best effort to get the job. This session will take a deep dive into learning the prequalification process. Learn why some GCs worry about subcontractor failure and how subcontractors can become more comfortable with sharing financial information. Gain insight into best practices your company can implement to make your financial statement picture perfect.

 After this session, you will be able to:

• Take steps to make the prequalification process successful in your company’s culture
• Identify the types of information requested and how they are used
