Perform the work.
IS&S coordinates the project.

Join the IS&S Trade Subcontractor network at no upfront cost. When IS&S has a project that matches your trade, location, credentials, capacity, and availability, we may send your company a defined scope of work for review.

You decide whether to accept each project. Scope, compensation, schedule, site requirements, insurance, and other project terms must be confirmed in writing before work begins.

Built for independent trade businesses and service companies—from newer local firms to established regional providers—that can perform defined field work reliably.

HOW A SERVICE REQUEST WORKS

IS&S identifies a service need

A project, work order, or service requirement is matched by trade, geography, timing, and qualifications.

Qualified providers are contacted

You receive enough information to evaluate the scope, schedule, location, and commercial terms.

You accept or decline

No automatic dispatch. Your company chooses whether the specific project fits your business.

Perform under a written work order

Approved scope, compensation, schedule, site requirements, and documentation control the job.

WHAT YOU ARE JOINING

A project network for independent service businesses—not an employment program.

Trade Subcontractor gives IS&S a structured pool of service companies it can evaluate when a contract or customer requirement needs field execution. Your company remains an independent business. Joining the network does not create employment, guarantee work, or require you to accept a project.

Tell us what you do

Provide your trades, service area, crew capacity, credentials, insurance status, equipment, and scheduling capabilities.

Get matched by requirement

IS&S can compare an active scope against provider trade, location, qualifications, capacity, and timing.

Price the actual scope

Compensation is project-specific. Your company reviews the work and commercial terms before accepting.

Execute and document

Perform the approved scope and provide required completion documentation, photos, invoices, permits, or closeout records.

HOW PROVIDERS GET PAID

No generic revenue-split promise. Compensation is tied to the real project.

Before accepting work, the provider should know the approved scope, subcontract amount or pricing basis, payment timing, reimbursable items if any, and documentation required for payment. IS&S should not rely on one fixed percentage for every trade because labor, materials, travel, permits, risk, and project complexity vary.

I understand joining the network does not guarantee projects or minimum work volume. I understand each project must be accepted under written scope, compensation, schedule, and payment terms before work begins. I understand my company is responsible for maintaining licenses, insurance, permits, and qualifications required for accepted work. I understand the actual business relationship and worker classification depend on the facts and contract terms, not simply the label “subcontractor.”
