How to work this list

  • A pulled permit means the money is committed and the schedule is being built. For landscapers that is weeks to months of warning before the call goes out.
  • On commercial and institutional work you are not selling the owner, you are selling the general contractor who is about to be awarded it. Find the GC, get on the bid list before the tender closes.
  • Have the prequalification package ready before you call: WSIB clearance or the local equivalent, certificate of insurance, safety record, three references in the same building type.
