Imagine this: you and your spouse have been married for years. You share a nice house, have a happy life, and have never missed a bill. Every credit card in the house is in your name; you handle the finances, and your other half handles everything else. One day, they walk into a store and apply for a credit card of their own. Declined. No history. No independent financial footprint. No credit score. Your partner doesn't exist.
In construction it works the same way. Your reputation travels through relationships. The GCs you've worked with know your work. But a GC who doesn't isn't calling around to find out. They're looking up your Q Score. They need a trusted, independent way to find and understand your business. And if you don't have one, as far as they're concerned, you don't exist.
Your construction credit score
That's what the COMPASS Q Score is: your construction credit score, the trusted, independent industry benchmark that helps GCs understand and evaluate your business.
Like a credit score, it doesn't tell a general contractor everything about your business, but it gives them enough confidence to decide whether you're worth a closer look.
The Q Score measures your financial capacity, operational expertise, and health and safety track record, giving every GC a consistent starting point in their evaluation. That's why more than 300 GCs rely on the COMPASS Q Score.
Without one you're hard to find. Harder to evaluate. And even harder to prequalify.
Submit your information. Get your Q Score. It's not complicated. Just get it.
