COI tracking built around how you work

Short answer

A general contractor tracks subs against a contract. A property manager tracks vendors across many buildings. An HOA board tracks vendors through a manager and a rotating board. Each has different problems, so we set up tracking differently. Pick the page below that matches your situation.

Not sure which fits?

You hire subs for jobs: general contractors.
You hire vendors to maintain buildings: property managers and landlords.
Your board hires vendors through a manager: HOA and condo associations.

The core work is the same everywhere: collect each certificate, check it against your requirements, chase the renewal. What changes is who the certificate must name and how you report it.
