Due diligence for construction companies

When a contractor fails, the risk also lands on whoever recommended them.

Architects, platforms, developers, consultants, condominiums, and real-estate agents take on reputational, operational, and commercial risk whenever they recommend, onboard, or select a construction company. ObraXRAY runs that due diligence for you - at scale, with accumulated history, and with continuous monitoring of the contractors you already work with.

What's at stake

Recommending a contractor is not a neutral act.

Your client's trust, the project's timeline, and the health of your channel all depend on who's on the other side of the contract. Three risks that weigh on whoever decides.

Reputational

The recommendation sticks to your name.

If the contractor fails, blame points first at whoever suggested them, even without direct contractual responsibility.

Operational

The job can stall mid-way.

An insolvency or a lost licence blocks the whole subcontracting and supply chain, and the deadline becomes yours.

Commercial

One bad case contaminates the channel.

Referral networks and platforms live on trust and repeat business. A public bad case reaches the next client.

How it works

Cross-reference, interpret, and monitor.

The signals exist and they're public, but they're scattered across many official sources with no cross-referencing, and you need to know which to check and how to read each record. ObraXRAY cross-references 9 official sources with indices we built from scratch, interprets what each one alone can't tell you, accumulates the history the portals don't preserve, and keeps an eye on each contractor's profile over time.

01 · Verify

Over 20 signals across 9 official sources.

Judicial, tax, labour, regulatory, and corporate. Every signal traces back to its original source.

02 · Interpret

Reads the data for you, not raw records.

Classifies insolvency (CIRE) phases, validates IMPIC licences, and detects phoenix-company patterns linking current directors to their failed prior companies.

03 · Monitor

Alerts when something changes.

Automatic alerts when relevant new signals appear in the profile of a contractor you already have on your books.

Custom pilots

We adapt the product to your need.

The risk engine is the same. What changes is how it plugs into your flow. We have pilots running with B2B partners across several sectors, and we tailor each one to the case.

First pilot in days, not months.

We start with formats that need no technical integration - PDF report or per-NIF API - so your team can evaluate the data and the workflow fit before any commitment. Then we evolve into the final format.

Three things we always tailor

Workflow

Where it fits: before award, in supplier onboarding, in periodic re-verification, or event-triggered from your stack.

Delivery

How you receive it: PDF report, dashboard, per-NIF API, webhook, watchlist with alerts, or white-label embedded in your portal.

Pricing model

By volume, by monitored asset, annual package, or pay-per-use. No rigid minimums during the pilot.
