How Does MEINHAUS Onboard Subcontractors? ✳️

At MEINHAUS, great projects start with great pros. We advertise for and invite quality, established subcontractors—then verify everything before they’re eligible to work. No shortcuts, ever.

Insurance (CGL active; WSIB/Workers’ Comp where applicable) 🛡️

Proof of experience: relevant project photos + a written resume 📸📝

Business details: legal name, HST/GST (if applicable), service area, crew size 🏢

6) Activation & First Jobs 🚀

Account marked Eligible only after compliance passes

“Pilot” phase: first jobs monitored closely to confirm fit & quality

7) Ongoing Performance & Safety 🔁🔒

Insurance tracking with auto-suspension on expiry

KPIs: on-time arrival, defect/callback rate, photo completeness, homeowner feedback
