How do I check a formwork subcontractor's compliance documents?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Request the compliance documents directly from the subcontractor. Check that their licences, insurances, and safety management plans are up to date. Make sure they align with your project's requirements and local regulations.
Key points
- Get documents directly from the subbie.
- Verify licences and insurances.
- Check safety management plans.
- Ensure compliance with local regulations.
It's critical to have all the paperwork sorted before the subbie starts on site. If anything's missing or out of date, it could cause delays or issues down the line. Keep a checklist handy to track what you need from them, and don't hesitate to follow up if something's off.
