Business and CostsHargeisa
Attendance records and certificates do not prove a trade can build. Test the work itself, on site, before you award the package.

A CV claim is not evidence. Ask for marked-up drawings, survey records and an as built sample from a completed Borama job before you award the work.
Business and CostsBosaso

Business and CostsQardho
Verify school building works competency in Qardho by testing claims: past sites, named staff, method statements and independent checks of the structure.
Engineering and MethodsQardho
Emergency drills competency in Qardho can rest on claims alone. Check records, watch a drill, and set the response time in the contract.
Business and CostsBurao
A certificate shows attendance, not judgement. Check how a Burao foreman sets out, sequences trades and reads levels on a live pour.

A bid can claim snagging experience without evidence. Ask for room-by-room records, a recent site walk and a written defect list.
Engineering and MethodsBerbera
Ask for the spotter's certificate, the banksman brief and the exclusion zone drawing, then watch one reversing cycle in Berbera.
Business and CostsBosaso

Business and CostsBorama

Business and CostsGabiley
Portfolio attribution gaps let a contractor claim credit for work they did not run. In Gabiley, check each reference role in writing before you sign.
Business and CostsQardho
Delay records in Qardho prove nothing on their own. Check dates, causes and signatures against site evidence before you credit them.
Business and CostsHargeisa

Business and CostsBerbera

Business and CostsGarowe
Ask for the backup behind every progress figure in Garowe: survey notes, pour records and signed joint measurements, not percentages on a claim sheet.

Check design calculations and reference projects before ground is opened. Claims of shoring experience in Borama prove nothing without records.
Business and CostsHargeisa
Photos show a crew attended a site, not how the work was built. Ask for dated records, test results and the supervisor's name.
