CAPABILITY CARD · Skilled Trades

The Sheet Metal Workers capability card.

One link that proves what you do — the work, the tools, the market, and the path to better contracts.

There are 119,770 sheet metal workers in the U.S. The ones who win the work a buyer actually budgets for don't hand over a flat PDF — they send a living capability card. Built and maintained by our New Jersey team.

What your card proves

The work a buyer needs to see at a glance.

The government-contracting edge

Where the steady budgets actually are.

Most sheet metal workers win public work as subcontractors to construction and facilities primes, and through small-business set-aside programs. Primes vet subs fast — a living capability card with your licenses, bonding posture, and recent work is how you get the call instead of getting screened out. We build it to be that fast yes.
