Why trade contractor compliance matters for homebuilders

A single residential build can involve a dozen or more specialized trade contractors. Verifying each one's credentials is critical but time-consuming:

Trade licenses must be current before contractors start work
Insurance lapses during a build create serious liability
Inspectors and lenders may require proof of licensed trades
Tracking credentials across multiple active builds is overwhelming

How TrackMyVendor helps homebuilders

Verify trade licenses

Search 850,000+ professional licenses to confirm electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and other trade contractors are properly licensed before they start work.

Let subs upload their own docs

Send trade contractors a secure magic link to upload their licenses, insurance certificates, tax forms, safety records, and any other required documents. Everything flows directly into your dashboard without email back-and-forth.

Get notified before expirations

Automatic email alerts at 90, 60, 30, and 7 days before any license or insurance expires. Keep your builds compliant without calendar reminders.

Compliance reports for lenders

Export PDF or Excel reports showing trade contractor compliance. Ready for lender requirements, inspections, or your own project documentation.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use this for multiple builds at the same time?
Yes. Each trade contractor has a single profile that carries across all your builds. Once a sub's documents are uploaded and verified, they stay current regardless of which project they're working on.
Do trade contractors need to create an account?
No. You send them a secure magic link via email. They click the link, upload their documents, and that's it. No account creation, no app download, no friction.
What trade licenses can you verify automatically?
We automatically verify licenses from Texas TDLR and Florida DBPR, which cover electricians, plumbers, HVAC contractors, and many other trades. For other states, you can manually enter license details and still get full compliance tracking.
