As a GC on a residential or commercial project, it’s important to know and trust the people on the project whether you hired them directly or not. GCs should be checking testimonials and pictures of a Specialties Contractor's past work but also their past payment efforts.

If they do, it’s critical for you as the GC to know how that Specialties Contractor's has paid their vendors in the past.
