Certification Management

Objective

The Certification Management option allows the user to create certifications that may later be associated with customers or suppliers, among other things, for Bill 28. Certifications testify that the subcontractors engage construction work for which they possess not only a licence but also a valid Attestation de Revenu Québec (certificate from Revenu Québec). Contractors will be required to obtain a copy of these certificates.
