COI tracking for real estate developers

Active job sites run on subcontractors, and your lender and GC won’t let work start without proof they’re insured. COI Tracker stores every certificate and reminds you before a sub’s policy lapses mid-build.

The job

Where this gets hard

Lenders and GCs block work without current COIs

Draw schedules and site access can hinge on proof every sub is insured. Store each certificate and export the list before missing paperwork holds up the job.

A sub’s policy lapses mid-project

Excavation or electrical work with an expired policy is exactly when a claim is most costly. Automated 30/14/7-day reminders catch the lapse before the sub is back on site.

Every job site multiplies the paperwork

Three active developments, each with its own roster of subs, is a spreadsheet that rots fast. Tag vendors by project and filter the dashboard by site.

FAQ — Real estate developers

My lender and GC require COIs before work starts — can I prove it fast?

Store each sub’s certificate as an uploaded PDF or photo behind a private signed link, filter by status, and export a CSV list for the lender or GC in seconds.

What coverage do subs on a development site usually carry?

General Liability, Workers Compensation, and often higher Umbrella limits for excavation, structural, or electrical work. You record the type and limits per sub.

A sub’s policy lapses mid-project — how do I catch it?

Automatic reminders fire 30, 14, and 7 days before expiry, and Request Update emails the sub for a fresh certificate before the lapse stalls the job.

Can I keep certificates organized across multiple job sites?

Yes — put the project name in each vendor row and filter the dashboard by site or status whenever the GC asks.
