Prequalification

Better Places.
Better People.

We build great projects with great people. Our subcontractor network is one of our most valuable assets, and we work hard to make partnering with us as simple as possible. Prequalify with Helot Development once a year and you’re cleared to bid work across all of our offices — no repeat paperwork, no redundant process

DO I Need to Be

Prequalified?

Helot Development requires all subcontractors to prequalify annually to be eligible to bid and contract work with us. If you’ve worked with Helot previously, reach out to our team directly at (562) 760-0444 or estimating@helotdevelopment.com.

The following scopes of work do not need to go through the prequalification process:

  • Vendors
  • Material Suppliers
  • Testing
  • Adjusting
  • Balancing
  • Engineering Firms
  • Architecture, including Landscape
  • Environmental Science
  • Planning
  • Surveying

What Documentation

Do I Need?

In addition to the prequalification form (link below), you’ll need to provide supporting documentation. At least one document must be included when you submit your form — the rest can be submitted at the same time or sent separately to estimating@helotdevelopment.com or by calling (562) 760-0444.
