Key Takeaways
- Complete your PlanHub risk management profile fully so you earn the qualified badge that makes general contractors more confident when considering you for their projects.
- A complete profile increases your visibility in PlanHub's Directory, making it easier for GCs to find and shortlist you when filtering for qualified subs.
- The earlier you build out your profile, the more opportunities you have to get in front of GCs before they finalize their subcontractor selections.
- Positioning yourself as a low-risk, well-documented sub gives you a competitive edge over others who haven't taken the time to complete their qualification information.

PlanHub Premier Feature Spotlight: Qualification and Risk Management
Over and over, we’ve heard general contractors say that ensuring subs are qualified is one of the most time-consuming—and critical—tasks when gathering bids for new projects. That’s because hiring the wrong sub can bring unwanted risk to your business.
Subcontractors have the ability to fill out a profile section that captures many of the questions general contractors might be interested in. If they have answered all the questions, they’ll be awarded a special badge that indicates that they have completed their risk management profile.
With a PlanHub Premier membership, general contractors get even more capabilities, with the ability to actively review these risk-management profiles in detail to find out if a sub is qualified based on your particular requirements. Our Directory allows you to filter subs based on which sections of the profile have been completed—helping you narrow down your search for qualified subs more quickly.
