Construction Qualifications


GradeBeam.com’s electronic qualification tool

GradeBeam.com’s electronic qualifications portal and suite of other tools provide you with the resources to access, manage, and monitor all your critical business information with security and confidence.

Online Documents


GradeBeam.com goes way beyond a traditional document hosting company
. Our tools and support services have been designed to be the most efficient method for communicating with subcontractors, suppliers and printers. We put the control of information in your hands and provide the solid back-up of customer service support to ensure everything is in order. Electronic files may be shared instantly without restriction to size, quantity or file-type and there is no cost to anyone for uploading  or downloading documents. Since no projects are ever erased from your account, there is a permanent record of your bidding history, message delivery and document tracking for each file attached to a project.  These projects may be easily copied to get a “jump-start” on new projects by using the same sub group and making any adjustments desired.

Messaging/Reporting:

Tapping into the robust power of our communications network, GradeBeam.com tracks, updates and resends all of your correspondences to ensure every message gets delivered, every time. We also deactivate “out-of-business” contractors to minimize waste in future correspondence. Our support team manages a public profile on over 330,000 companies—including name, address, phone, fax, email, public contact, trades, certifications and pre-qualification forms. If some subs work exclusively for you, they may be kept “private” in our network and remain accessible only to your account/users. When it comes to confidential data being shared, each GradeBeam.com member—or "GradeBeamer"—can maintain a private profile on each contractor, which includes private contacts, phone/fax, emails, notes, and the ability to create “custom” search criteria/groups.  This allows them to organize companies based on how they differentiate one sub from another. Also, invitations may be directed to specific contacts and sent to multiple companies, if desired.
