Trade compliance and certifications reference.
Bridgepoint Maintenance publishes reference material on trade licensing, building compliance, and the certification standards property owners need to understand. Plumbing, electrical, gas, and life safety all run on different licensing frameworks across Canada and the US. We document the framework so owners know what to ask for from any vendor, including us.

Why owners and managers call Bridgepoint
Compliance and certifications are where bad vendors cut corners. The work looks fine until something goes wrong. Then the file is empty, the license is unverified, and the insurance claim falls apart. Our reference material exists so property owners can demand the right documentation from any vendor and recognize when they are getting it.
