Abstract
An example software technology may function to both facilitate a prequalification process for construction projects and also leverage the information obtained during the prequalification process to facilitate subsequent management of a construction project. In one aspect, an example prequalification software tool may provide an interface through which a user associated with the GC can create prequalification forms for obtaining prequalification information from subcontractors, where each prequalification form can be tailored for a particular type of construction project, a particular aspect of a construction project being put out to bid or the like. In a further aspect, after a subcontractor has submitted its prequalification submission to the GC, the example prequalification software tool may provide an interface through which a user associated with the GC may review the subcontractor's prequalification submission and then, if desired, either approve or reject the subcontractor's prequalification submission (or perhaps flag it for follow up).
