Frequently Asked Questions

How does subcontractor prequalification work?

Space AI lets you create custom prequalification questionnaires that subs complete online. You can request financial documents, safety records, insurance certificates, references, and any other documentation. The system scores responses and flags concerns automatically. Build your approved vendor list before projects even start.

Can I track insurance certificates automatically?

Yes, Space AI automatically monitors insurance certificates for all your subcontractors. You'll receive alerts 30, 14, and 7 days before policies expire. Subs can upload renewed certificates directly, and the system verifies coverage meets your minimum requirements. No more spreadsheets or manual tracking.

How does performance scoring work?

After each project (or phase), you can rate subcontractors on multiple criteria: quality of work, schedule adherence, safety performance, communication, and more. These scores accumulate over time, giving you objective data to inform future bidding and award decisions. See which subs consistently perform and which ones struggle.

Can subcontractors access the system?

Yes, subs get their own portal where they can complete prequalification, upload insurance certificates, view schedules, submit pay applications, and communicate with your team. They only see information relevant to their contracts β€” nothing about other subs or sensitive project data.

How do you handle lien waivers?

Space AI generates conditional and unconditional lien waivers based on your state's requirements. Subs can sign electronically, and waivers are automatically linked to the corresponding payment. You can require waivers before releasing payment, ensuring complete compliance.

Does it integrate with accounting software?

Yes, Space AI integrates with Sage, Foundation, QuickBooks, Vista, Viewpoint, and other construction accounting systems. Subcontractor information, contracts, and payment data sync automatically β€” reducing double entry and ensuring your books stay accurate.

Can I manage subs across multiple projects?

Absolutely. Space AI gives you a company-wide view of all subcontractor relationships. See which subs are working on which projects, their total contract values, payment status, and performance scores across your entire portfolio.

What about sub-tier (lower-tier) subcontractors?

Space AI supports multi-tier subcontractor tracking. You can require your subs to register their sub-tiers, track insurance for all levels, and ensure compliance flows down through the entire supply chain. Important for prevailing wage and government projects.
