Background Checks for Construction & Skilled Trades

In construction and skilled trades, safety, reliability, and jobsite integrity are everything. Whether your team is building commercial structures, working in residential homes, or handling heavy machinery, each employee plays a direct role in maintaining your company’s reputation — and the safety of your clients, crew, and property.

At Confirmify, we offer background screening solutions specifically tailored for contractors, construction firms, and trade professionals. Our services help you make informed hiring decisions, meet insurance or client requirements, and build a dependable, safety-first workforce.

Why Background Checks Matter in Construction

Construction teams often work in high-risk environments, use valuable equipment, and enter customers’ private properties. Hiring without verifying an individual’s background increases the chances of theft, workplace accidents, compliance violations, and legal exposure. In many cases, general contractors or project owners may also require subcontractors and laborers to be screened before they’re allowed on a jobsite.

Background checks help construction and trade employers:

Protect tools, materials, and work zones from theft or damage
Reduce liability and risk on active sites
Maintain a safe and trustworthy work environment
Comply with licensing, insurance, and contractual requirements

What’s Included in a Construction Background Check

At Confirmify, our construction background screening packages are designed to verify a worker’s identity, evaluate their suitability for jobsite safety, and ensure compliance with local and industry regulations. Checks may include:

Criminal Records Search
County, state, and national databases are reviewed to identify any reportable offenses.
Identity Verification
Ensures that the individual is who they say they are — essential for verifying legal eligibility to work.
Employment Verification
Confirms previous trade or construction experience to validate skill level and reliability.
License & Certification Checks
Verifies trade licenses, OSHA certifications, or other credentials as required.
Motor Vehicle Records (MVR)
For positions involving the operation of company vehicles or equipment on public roads.
Drug Testing (optional)
Available for companies implementing pre-employment or jobsite drug-free policies.

All of our checks are FCRA-compliant and customizable to meet the specific requirements of your job roles, clients, or union agreements.
