How contractor scoring works

TradeSkor scores subcontractors on five performance dimensions using verified project data — safety incidents, schedule adherence, quality outcomes, crew reliability, and incident response.

Why data beats star reviews

  • Scores reflect measurable outcomes from jobs you can trace — not one-off ratings.
  • GCs, subs, and homeowners see the same transparent breakdown by dimension.
  • Recent performance weighs more than stale history; trends show improvement or decline.
  • Compliance documents and safety stats feed directly into the safety dimension.

Five scoring dimensions

Safety

TRIF, incident history, observations, and compliance documentation.

Schedule

On-time milestone completion, delay patterns, and recovery performance.

Quality

Deficiency rates, rework, inspection pass rates, and closeout quality.

Crew

Manpower reliability, supervision depth, and trade certification coverage.

Incident response

Reporting timeliness, corrective action closure, and repeat incident trends.
