How do I check a plumbing subcontractor's compliance documents?
Last reviewed July 5, 2026
Get the subcontractor to provide their compliance documents like insurance, licenses, and SWMS. Cross-check these against your project requirements and any relevant regulations. Make sure all documents are current and valid before work starts.
Key points
- Request insurance and license documents.
- Check SWMS for hazards and controls.
- Verify compliance with local regulations.
Start by asking the plumbing subbie for their compliance paperwork. You'll want to see their insurance details, licenses, and any specific SWMS they've got for the job. Once you've got them, go through each document to confirm they meet your project needs and legal requirements. Don't skip this step; it can save you headaches later on.
