Contractor Verification for General Contractors
General contractors carry responsibility for the subs they award, so before mobilization they confirm each sub holds an active license in the right trade and class, issued by the right board.
ARTradeVerify screens a sub roster against 94,108 Arkansas license records (52,626 active): 41,580 electrician, 26,158 HVAC, 13,588 general contractor, 9,687 plumber, and 2,505 roofer.
A commercial bid limit is the dollar ceiling the Arkansas Contractors Licensing Board records on a commercial general-contractor license; it applies to that class only, not to electrical, HVAC, or plumbing trade licenses. Confirm bid-limit fit when awarding a commercial package to a general-contractor-class sub.
ARTradeVerify is decision-support: it does not provide real-time or automated tracking or verify insurance or bonding. Confirm critical award decisions with the issuing board.
ARTradeVerify frequently asked questions
How does a GC use ARTradeVerify to screen a sub roster?
Filter the directory by trade and city to shortlist subs, verify each record's active status, classification, and board source, then capture timestamped verification records for the bid tab. A paid workspace lets you save the roster and re-check it on the next project.
Does the commercial bid limit apply to every sub?
No. The bid limit is recorded only on commercial general-contractor licenses. Electrical, HVAC, and plumbing subs verify by license class and active status, not by a bid-limit figure. Check bid-limit fit when awarding a commercial package to a general-contractor-class sub.
