How subs usually get on a BEAD build

Find out who is building. Providers often hand construction to a prime or an engineering and construction firm, and those firms hire the subs.
Get your paperwork ready before you call: certificate of insurance, W-9, safety program, and proof you can do the footage.
Ask what the state's BEAD rules mean for subs. Workforce, safety and reporting requirements vary by state and are often passed down.
Be findable. List your crew with the states and trades you cover, and watch fiber work on the board.
