Who This Is For

GCs who want to build a reliable, vetted subcontractor network. Most contractors hire the same subs repeatedly without ever formally evaluating them — then wonder why the same problems keep occurring. Completing this form after every project takes 5 minutes and gives you a documented history of every sub's performance, making hiring decisions faster and more reliable.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use subcontractor evaluations to improve my business?
Review evaluations before scheduling a sub for a new project. Subs who score below 3 on schedule adherence get a conversation before rehiring. Subs who score 5/5 consistently get first-call priority. Over 1-2 years you will know exactly who your A-team is.
Should I share evaluations with the subcontractors?
Sharing scores (not just giving vague feedback) tends to improve sub performance significantly. Many subs do not know they are scoring poorly until they see a number. Sharing the form creates a professional, standards-based relationship rather than a personal one.
Can I use these for new subcontractor vetting?
Yes — adapt the form as a reference check template when interviewing new subs. Ask previous GCs to rate the sub on the same criteria to get consistent, comparable feedback.
