Our standards

Qualified, trained, insured.

Handing a job to someone else takes three things: a PM who can run it, a PM who runs it your way every time, and coverage if something goes wrong. Here is exactly what stands behind every Onyx Project Partners placement.

Qualified

What every PM meets before placement.

No PM is offered to an outside general contractor until every line below is done.

  1. 01

    Verified field experience

    A track record running residential or commercial projects, verified before an offer.

  2. 02

    Background check

    Completed before a PM is hired onto our payroll.

  3. 03

    OSHA 30-Hour Construction safety training

    The construction-industry safety course for supervisors, completed before placement.

  4. 04

    First Aid and CPR

    Current training, kept current while placed.

  5. 05

    Trained to the Onyx playbook

    One way to run a schedule, a budget, the subs, and the client, so every PM runs a job the same way.

  6. 06

    Proven on farm-system jobs

    Real projects run to our standard before a PM is offered to an outside general contractor.

Trained

One playbook, proven on real jobs.

Every PM learns one way to run a job and then runs real projects for general contractors we operate, to that standard, before we offer them to you. That is the farm system, and it is our quality control.

How the farm system works
  • Schedules built and kept the same way
  • Subs coordinated to one standard
  • Budgets and progress tracked the same way
  • Clients kept informed on a set rhythm

Insured

The coverage behind every placement.

All four lines below are in force before any PM starts on your job.

  • Workers’ compensation

  • General liability

  • Professional liability (E&O)

  • Employment practices liability (EPLI)

You’re additional insured

Each partner GC is named additional insured on our general liability policy.

COI on request

We send a certificate of insurance naming your company whenever you ask for one.

Mutual indemnity

The staffing agreement carries a mutual indemnity and states that the PM works on your jobs under your license.

FAQ

Licensing and insurance

Do you need a contractor’s license?
No. Onyx Project Partners is a staffing company, not a contractor. We never contract with the owner and never take on the construction. You keep your license and stay the contractor of record on every job, and the PM works on your jobs under your license.
Who is insured, and how do I get named additional insured?
Before any PM starts on your job, we have Workers’ compensation, General liability, Professional liability (E&O), and Employment practices liability (EPLI) in force. Each partner GC is named additional insured on our general liability policy, and we send a certificate of insurance (COI) on request. The staffing agreement carries a mutual indemnity. Request the COI from our contact page.
