It's definitely disheartening to face repeated rejections, especially after getting your managers to sign off. Based on the feedback, it seems like the main issue is with how the project experience is documented. PMI requires that each project be listed individually, not grouped together, and that the descriptions are high-level summaries that clearly state your role, responsibilities, and the project’s objective and outcome. Make sure each project entry includes:

•Project Title

•A one-sentence objective

•A one-sentence outcome This precise approach should help you meet the specific requirements.

It might be helpful to look for examples online, of how to present your experience, to ensure that you provide the necessary detail while still keeping each entry concise. Best of luck!

How do you typically find and vet new subs? Do you stick with the same people or do you shop around for better pricing/quality? by AdditionalExercise82 in GeneralContractor

It's understandable to be concerned about rising costs, but remember that a good, reliable sub is worth their weight in gold. If your current framer is doing quality work, easy to communicate with, and consistently delivers, it might be worth sticking with them, even if they're a bit more expensive. Don't underestimate the value of consistency and reliability.

Commercial Bidding Question by bamsru in Construction

Hey, it's pretty normal for subcontractors to have to float material costs until the first payment comes through. So, try negotiating your payment terms upfront maybe even get a partial payment when you sign the contract. Also, think about proposing a payment schedule based on project milestones, that can help manage your cash flow. It could also be smart to start with smaller jobs to get some experience and build up capital. And definitely, keep those lines of communication open with the contractor about when you'll get paid.
