How partnership works
Clear scope. Safe work. Straight communication.
KIBA looks for teams that understand the assignment, show up prepared, communicate early, and finish the record with the same care they bring to the field. Requirements can change by client, property, trade, and project.
Communicate from the field
Raise access issues, conflicts, concealed conditions, and schedule risks while decisions can still be made.
Protect people and property
Follow the project safety plan, maintain clean work areas, and respect occupied-property controls.
Document the handoff
Complete punch items and provide the photos, tickets, warranties, or closeout records required for the assignment.

Before you apply
Prequalification is a review, not a promise of work.
Submitting information does not create a contract, vendor award, exclusive relationship, minimum volume, or guarantee of current or future assignments. KIBA may request updates, additional information, or project-specific terms before any work is authorized. Work begins only under a written agreement or purchase order issued by an authorized KIBA representative.
