Working with Prequalification

The ConstructConnect Platform prequalification feature lets contractors interested in your work submit their prequalification form for you to complete and return. You can also save your own completed prequalification form to have on file for submission upon request. 

The prequalification process is used to limit bidders to only those contractors that can demonstrate themselves to be qualified to work on a particular project.
