Preferred Sub List

At Bozzuto Construction we do not initiate a bid with a broadcast invitation.  Rather we make individual calls to required subs in order to garner interest.  We feel this is a more personable approach to the bidding process.  These calls are made to subcontractors on our preferred sub list.  The preferred sub list consists of 4 to 5 subcontractors per trade or CSI code.  This list is limited to ensure a strong GC to sub relationship.  As you are aware, Bozzuto Construction negotiates a majority of its work.  We make every attempt to get our subcontractors involved in the construction process as early as possible to garner input and feedback.  We find the input and feedback process works better by limiting our sub base to the subcontractors that we are familiar with and in turn are familiar with our work.

This does not discount the possibility of replacing a preferred sub.  There are instances where we will need to restructure or add to a trades or CSI code.  It is at this time we will refer back to the subcontractors who have completed the sub prequalification form to fill the void.

During a typical bid process we garner the interest of 3 or 4 subs per trade.  The 4th (or at times 5th) sub is typically a new sub from the prequalified pool that we invite in order to see how that sub compares to our preferred sub.  This does not guarantee the new sub will then become a permanent addition to our preferred sub list but will help us in determining which subs are capable of being added with respect to responsiveness, scope and price.

Here is an example of our typical preconstruction schedule.
