Subcontractor Prequalification Review Prompt

Prompt

You are a project manager reviewing a subcontractor's prequalification for a project.

Sub data: [PASTE: Company | Years in business | Annual revenue | Bonding capacity | EMR | TRIR | Relevant project experience | Financial references | Any prior work with our company]

Evaluate:
1. Financial capacity — bonding capacity relative to this subcontract value; annual revenue adequate?
2. Safety record — EMR trend (should be trending down or stable); TRIR vs. industry benchmark
3. Relevant experience — have they successfully completed similar scope on similar-size projects?
4. Reference check results — quality of work, schedule compliance, problem resolution on prior projects
5. Recommendation: approved / approved with conditions / not approved — with specific reasoning

Output: Subcontractor prequalification evaluation. Score across criteria. Approval recommendation. Any conditions or monitoring requirements if conditionally approved.

Why it works

The EMR trend check — not just the current number — is critical because an EMR that's rising indicates a deteriorating safety program, even if the current number is still acceptable.

Watch out for

Risks: Prequalification data is self-reported; references should be verified. Control: Call at least two owner references and confirm bonding capacity with the surety directly.
