Sub-Contractor Vetting As an award-winning leader in the UK property and construction industry, it is vital that our reputation is upheld. Eric Wrights partnership with Constructionline ensures prequalification of all subcontractors, ensuring that they meet the standards set in-house by the Eric Wright Group and resulting in excellent working partnerships. We maintain a wide database of tried and trusted subcontractors and suppliers built up over many years. Many of these have been in informal and formal partnering arrangements with us on past projects and know our processes very well. We continue to update and expand our lists with new entries where appropriate. All contractors for the Eric Wright Group are formally vetted in terms of Health and Safety, Environmental, Financial, Quality Assurance, Insurance and Equal Opportunities. Only contractors who are on the Eric Wright Construction database are used. Admittance to the database is subsequent to completion of a competence questionnaire form, and proof of compliance with the policies and procedures of the Eric Wright Group.
