How Building Trades Can Quickly Engage in the Green Jobs Industry
If you have been looking for a way to enter the “Green Jobs” market, you have found it. EnergyARM provides you with pre-qualified bids and fully documented scopes of work complete with quality checklists so there is no question of what is expected and what standards are required to be met to get paid. You let the system know what work you are qualified to perform and what counties you will work within and the requests for bid follow. You can even pre-bid on a county by county basis and you could be automatically winning bids and getting jobs while you are out in the field making money!
EnergyARM is designed to support the small sole proprietorship contractors as well as larger contracting companies. EnergyARM handles all the scheduling and communications to keep you in the loop. It will send updates if there are any delays or changes in the schedule and it will inform you based on your communication preference. All you need is a connection to the Internet and a desire to perform quality work in your trade.
EnergyARM uses an escrow fund system that deposits your payment directly into your bank account. If you perform the work you contracted for, to the standards defined, you should receive your payment within 48 hours of completing the job. You don’t have to worry about chasing down bad debt because the funds are placed into escrow before the work begins.
EnergyARM helps you to grow your company. The system uses the Retrofit Exchange as its communication and scheduling engine. You will be required to agree to the terms & conditions of that website. You receive a JOT account as part of the EnergyARM registration process. You can add user accounts for your employees or sub-contractors and utilize the JOT communication and scheduling tools within your own company. You will also be eligible to bid on jobs that come through JOT which are not related to energy retrofit projects giving you an even larger customer base to work within!
