The competitiveness in the construction market requires that subcontractors looking to work with international clients offer more than favorable pricing. The true value of a company is elevated by the skills of its team and the certifications they hold. If you’re thinking about working with an international subcontractor, make sure you know the key factors to consider.

Showcasing success: explore the portfolio of your potential subcontractor

Skills we mentioned earlier should be substantiated by actual achievements. That’s why documenting our work is crucial – it allows clients to assess its quality.

Professional construction firms take portfolio updates seriously, ensuring high-quality photography that lets potential business partners see the details, precision, and accuracy of their work. As a client, you can request selected project samples via email, visit the subcontractor’s website or check their profiles on construction industry platforms.

Building certifications

Subcontractors must be aware of the formal and administrative requirements without which they cannot legally work for international clients.

Occupational health and safety training, courses on scaffolding erection and dismantling, as well as certifications for asbestos removal, are just a few of the documents expected from qualified construction teams.

In addition to basic training, many companies can boast certifications in the operation of specialized machinery, assembly technologies, installation, or maintenance. Continuous qualification enhancement and skill improvement are definite advantages for subcontractors.

References

The last point on our list of factors worth considering when choosing a subcontractor is their references. Feedback from satisfied clients is perhaps the most valuable information about a company.

Many international subcontractors regularly or consistently collaborate with companies from Belgium, Luxembourg, and other European countries, which undoubtedly speaks to the company’s potential and value.
