Who We Love to Work With
Athena Engineering does a lot of different types of projects, and we need a lot of different types of trade partners and suppliers to work with us. So, what types of contractors do we work with the most and really need more of? We’re glad you asked!
The types of subcontractors we are always in need of, include:
- Electrical (Low Voltage & Regular)
- Concrete Demolition & Installation
- Drywall & Framing (Metal-Stud & Wood)
- Painting
- Flooring
- Abatement & Hazardous Material Demolition
- Plumbing
- Mechanical Insulation
- Mechanical Piping
- Mechanical Firestopping
This only lists a few, so if you like what we’re about and want to work with us, send us a prequalification! Some of our requirements and FAQ are listed below to help smooth out the process as well, so take a look.
If you have questions after reading through everything, never hesitate to email us at projectassistants@athenaengineering.com
We prequalify our subcontractors because we want to protect our clients and all of the trade partners already doing work with us. We’re all about working with new and different contractors, but we just need some information to make sure you’re able to complete projects safely, are financially secure, and have the same safety values that we do. Following prequalification and approval, you will be placed on our bid list. If awarded a project, you will begin the Master Contract process.
As a minority and woman-owned company, we love working with other diverse businesses. The certifications that we accept come from the following third-party certifiers:
Follow this link to our prequalification. It will take you to Building Connected where you can login under your existing username or create a new one. Under the qualifications tab, you’ll see Athena Engineering pop up as an available prequalification. If there’s any trouble, contact us at projectassistants@athenaengineering.com or check out Building Connected’s Help Center for Qualifications.
If you intend to bid on projects in which your scope value is over $75,000, we require you to be BONDABLE. This means that you can provide a bond to us upon request. If you’re shortlisted for a project with an awarded subcontract value of over $75,000 you will be required to send us a letter of bondability showing proof of bondability and limits. The letter should name the company providing bonds, your aggregate/single project limits, a brief statement of your bond history, and the amount of capacity you have currently available. If you’ve bid public works projects before, you’ve probably requested this type of letter hundreds of times.
During the prequalification process we only require a certificate of insurance showing PROOF of insurance. Once a project is awarded to your company, we require project-specific certificates of insurance with additional insured, endorsements, and waiver of subrogation. To view a sample certificate of insurance with our minimum requirements, download it here. Some projects have larger limits and different insurance requirements, but we will always let you know about those when you’re in the bidding phase.
Once you’re prequalified, you will begin to receive invitations to bid from our bid management program, Building Connected. All plans, specifications, addenda, and notifications will be sent through there. Obviously, you can also always email the estimating department at estimating@athenaengineering.com or email the assigned estimator directly with any questions throughout the bidding process. Prior to accepting a bid from you, you must have a current and approved prequalification with us.
