Construction compliance software for GCs - before the inspector arrives.

Procore is a full project-management suite, and Compliance is one module inside it. It makes most sense if your GC already runs everything on Procore. Billy is a strong specialist in construction COIs and the GC-to-sub workflow. ISNetworld and Avetta are contractor-management platforms that large owners in oil and gas or heavy industry require their contractors to join. ExpiryEdge is built for the mid-market (25–500 active subs) and covers more ground in one place: COIs, OSHA training, trade certs, permits and equipment inspections. You can keep Procore for project work and use ExpiryEdge for the compliance side, in place of several single-purpose tools.

Certificate Holder only means someone sent you a copy. It gives you no rights under the sub's policy. To be covered when a claim lands, you need to be named as Additional Insured, and that is proved by a separate endorsement form: CG 20 10 for ongoing operations, CG 20 37 for completed operations. We regularly see sub COIs that list the GC as Certificate Holder with no endorsement attached. That gap is where coverage disputes usually begin.

Tie the COI to the two things a sub cares about most. First, the subcontract: nobody gets a fully executed sub-K until the COI and endorsements check out. Second, payment: no pay app is released while the COI is lapsed. ExpiryEdge supports both with a green, amber or red status on every sub record, which you can export to your AP or project-management system.

A sole-prop sub with no employees can legally hold a workers' comp exemption. The trouble starts when the form is more than 12 months old, names the wrong entity, or was issued in a different state from the job site. ExpiryEdge files the exemption as its own document with its own expiry date and the state it covers, so an out-of-date or wrong-state form gets caught.

Yes. Most policies can be cancelled mid-term, and depending on the endorsement wording the carrier may never tell you. Three things help. Require the CG 24 04 notice-of-cancellation endorsement, so the carrier owes you written notice. Check policy status throughout the job, not only at expiry. And only assign work to subs whose status has been verified as current.

Plenty of GCs check their first-tier subs and stop there. Then a third-tier crew turns up on site with no Additional Insured link to you at all. ExpiryEdge asks each sub to show proof for its own lower-tier subs to the same standard, and you audit a random 10% sample per project. Flow-down clauses in the subcontract give you the right to enforce it.

ExpiryEdge tracks the OSHA 300A annual posting period (February 1 to April 30) and keeps OSHA 300 logs for 5 years per record. It also tracks the electronic 300A submission deadline, which is March 2 each year for establishments with 100+ employees in covered industries. You get reminders well ahead of each date.

Yes. A project gets its own permits, active subs, equipment list and daily JSA or toolbox-talk records. Records that belong to the sub itself (COI, master pre-qual, trade certs) are shared across every project that sub works on. When a project closes, its history stays on file in case a completed-operations claim comes in years later.
