I will ALWAYS wear appropriate clothing on a Constructeam job site, which means I will ALWAYS wear a shirt at all times while on a Constructeam job site.

Failure to comply with these guidelines on a job site will result in immediate discharge from all Constructeam projects, and your company will permanently be removed from our approved vendor list.

PAYMENT POLICY AGREEMENT

All payments are made once a month. No deposits, no cash payments, and ALL payments must be paid to a registered, approved vendor with Constructeam.

• Invoices for completed work must be submitted to Constructeam. Accounts Payable department on or before the 20th of each month.
• Payments will be ACH deposited by the 1st of the following month.
• If these procedures are not met, we cannot guarantee timely payment.
• Any invoices received after the 20th of the month will be paid in the following month’s payment cycle.

All completed work invoices MUST be submitted to Accounts Payable at Constructeam and NOT the assigned project managers.

All invoices must have the date, job name, job number, work order number, invoice number and legible description of work performed.

Please submit all invoices for payment via email, mail or fax to:

• accounts@restoreitright.com
• Constructeam, Inc.
  31780 Groesbeck Hwy
  Fraser, MI 48026
• Fax: (586) 296-3248

It is the sole responsibility of the contractor to ensure that Accounts Payable received their invoices.

*To ensure payment, do not submit invoices to our outside sales team or project managers!*

DIRECT DEPOSIT ENROLLMENT

As of January 1, 2018, ALL vendors are required to participate in the Automated Check (ACH) payment process. ACH allows for a condensed payment processing timeline. Invoices will now be paid via Direct Deposit (ACH) to you, instead of a physical check.

• You will receive payment in your bank account on the 1st of the month, without having to worry about lost checks or time in the mail.
• Receiving payment via ACH reduces your costs in time and effort to physically deposit checks.
• ACH payments eliminate pay holds—when the money arrives in your account, it is immediately available for your use.
  
• ACH simplifies the monthly payment process.

CONSTRUCTEAM’S INSURANCE REQUIREMENT FOR APPROVED VENDORS

It is imperative that these below requirements are met, and all certificates are active while your company is present on any Constructeam projects.

It is the Vendor’s sole responsibility to make sure that Constructeam always has your most up to date information on file.

Non-compliance will result in delayed payment processing.

Violent Crime Control and Background Consent Form

DISCLOSURE STATEMENT

Under the Federal Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, 18 U.S.C. 1033(e) a person may not engage in the business of insurance if the individual has been convicted of a felony involving dishonesty or breach of trust, unless the individual has the written consent of an insurance regulatory official authorized to regulate the insurer.

If a person is convicted of any crime between annual notification dates, he or she agrees to notify Alacrity Renovation Services, LLC promptly, but no later than 10 days after the conviction.

Furthermore, Alacrity Renovation Services, LLC discloses to you that as part of a background investigation of your activities, an investigative consumer report may be obtained at any time during the contractual relationship with Alacrity Renovation Services, LLC. An investigative consumer report may include personal information as to your character and general reputation.

CONSENT FORM TO RELEASE INFORMATION

I understand that in consideration of my application to perform network services with Alacrity Renovation Services, LLC, an investigation may be conducted of my background. I authorize personal references and others with whom I am acquainted to provide information concerning my ability, character, military service and credit history. I release all persons, including credit bureaus, and government agencies from any liabilities or damages for having furnished such information. I hereby authorize Alacrity Renovation Services LLC and/or its agents to conduct such an investigation. I understand that the information requested below regarding date of birth, race and sex is for the sole purpose of gathering accurate information, and will not be used to discriminate against me in violation of any law. A telephone facsimile (fax) or a photographic copy of this authorization shall be as valid as the original.

Alacrity Renovation Services LLC will take reasonable steps to prevent, to the extent reasonably practical under the circumstances, unauthorized disclosure or distribution of information disclosed either on this request form or any subsequent investigative consumer report.

Waiver of Lien & Warranty Paperwork

When you submit your invoices to our accounting office, you must include two additional documents. See below.

DOCUMENT 1: Contractor’s Waiver of Lien

A “Contractor’s Waiver of Lien” must be included with EVERY  in voice you submit to us. We can no longer process invoices for payment unless they are accompanied by the corresponding Contractor’s Waiver of Lien. There are two different types of this waiver, and I have enclosed blank copies of both of them for your convenience.

Note: A lien waiver is like a receipt for payment you are receiving. For example, if Constructeam pays you $10k, this form would waive $10k in lien rights. 

Waiver Type 1: Partial Conditional Waiver of Lien — You should use a partial conditional waiver when you are expecting to receive a progress payment on a project. You may be expecting future payments on the project, but you’ll need to sign a waiver for the specific progress or partial payment that you are receiving. Please make sure the invoice if for the total amount of the project.

Waiver Type 2: Full Conditional Waiver of Lien — A full conditional waiver should be used when you are expecting to receive a final payment on the project. After signing this waiver, you will not be expecting any future payments.

Note: Because these are “conditional” waivers, you may not have received the payment when you submit these forms. That is okay. A conditional lien waiver is “conditional” on your receipt of the payment. It will be invalid if you do not receive payment.

DOCUMENT 2: Contractor’s Warranty

You must now include warranty paperwork with your invoices. I have enclosed a copy of the warranty form that you must submit with the invoice and the Contractor’s Waiver of Lien.

The warranty if for workmanship, so there are certain types of work that will not need to be warrantied. If you are unsure, please contact our office and we’ll let you know.

Examples of Warranty Required Include: Electrical, Plumbing, etc.
Examples of Warranty NOT Required Include: Temporary Labor, Demolition, etc.

Please sign below acknowledging the above changes and return a signed copy of this document to Constructeam’s office, or email a PDF copy to Accounts@RestoreItRight.com.

If you have any questions about this, please don’t hesitate to contact Emily Hodges (Constructeam’s Office Manager) via email or at (586) 620-5500.
