Contractor prequalification has traditionally been viewed as a one-sided process—built to protect hiring clients, often at the expense of time and clarity for contractors. But the landscape is shifting.
AuditSoft brought ContractorXchange to the market to add real value to contractors, not just hiring clients. The result? A fairer, more transparent system that helps qualified contractors stand out.
Many contractors have experienced inconsistent or unclear prequalification demands—often varying by project or client. That inconsistency leads to frustration and wasted time.
ContractorXchange solves this by using a standardized set of transparent questions and documentation requirements across all hiring clients. Whether you’re a small local firm or a national contractor, you’re held to the same clear standards—creating a level playing field.
Our process focuses on what matters: insurance, WSIB clearance, health and safety policies, past performance, and key qualifications. Importantly, your company’s safety manual and program are reviewed by a Canadian Registered Safety Professional (CRSP) who provides notes and feedback to help you strengthen your documentation and overall safety posture.
This isn’t a pass/fail gate. It’s an opportunity to build a stronger safety foundation and stand out to clients who care about compliance and quality.
Once you’re verified, your company becomes visible in our marketplace; a trusted directory designed to help hiring clients find safe, qualified contractors. Only your contact details, services, and the regions you operate in are visible to hiring clients. Your prequalification responses and documents remain private and secure. This is another opportunity to be discovered for more work—without having to repeatedly submit the same information for every project.
ContractorXchange is built to make prequalification work for you. Relevant questions, expert verification with feedback, and increased opportunity. All while keeping your information protected.
