Trade Coordination & Contracting
Organizing trade work and managing construction contracts.
Managing Trade Scope and Site Handovers
Trade coordination and contracting focuses on managing scopes, schedules, and responsibilities across multiple contractors on site. This includes coordinating start dates, sequencing work, and ensuring contracts align with the construction schedule and scope requirements. Clear coordination supports smoother handoffs between trades and consistent progress on site.
If trade activities are overlapping or contracts need closer alignment with site work, we provide coordination and contracting support to keep construction organized and progressing as planned.

Trade coordination manages how individual contractors and subcontractors are sequenced, scheduled, and integrated on site. It focuses on aligning scopes, start dates, dependencies, and handoffs so work progresses in the correct order without congestion or conflict.
Clear contracts define scope boundaries, responsibilities, pricing, and schedule expectations before work starts. Proper contracting reduces disputes, clarifies inclusions, and ensures each trade understands how their work fits within the overall construction plan.
Trade overlap is controlled through detailed sequencing, look-ahead scheduling, and active coordination between trades. By aligning work areas, access requirements, and inspection stages, conflicts are addressed before crews are mobilized.
Trade selection is based on project requirements, experience, capacity, and compliance with site and regulatory standards. Contractors may be client-preferred or competitively selected depending on the project structure.
Well-coordinated trades reduce downtime, rework, and delays caused by misaligned scopes or sequencing issues. This leads to more predictable progress, fewer change orders, and better control over construction timelines and costs.
