A GC needs a trade partner
The prime contractor wants a qualified package delivered inside their programme.

The model
What a trade package means here
A trade package is a focused engagement. Eglinton delivers an agreed portion of a wider construction programme — for example millwork, architectural finishes, MEP coordination or envelope work — without taking prime responsibility for the whole project unless that is separately contracted.
When a trade package makes sense
Use this model when the rest of the project already has a lead contractor or a clearly bounded specialty scope.
An owner needs a defined specialty
A single division — finishes, millwork, MEP or similar — is the scope being awarded.
Fabrication plus installation
Shop work and field installation need one accountable team for a bounded package.
Occupied or operating sites
A limited interior or in-building package has to land around residents, guests or tenants.
Invite to bid
You have a tender deadline, drawings and a package description ready for review.
How a package typically moves
Exact steps vary by division. The sequence below is a truthful outline, not a promise that every package follows it identically.
Scope review
Read the package against drawings, specifications and site conditions.
Submittals and samples
Shop drawings, product data or samples where the package requires them.
Procurement
Materials and specialty items aligned to the approved details and lead times.
Preparation / fabrication
Shop or prefabrication work when the scope includes it — not every division does.
Installation
Field work sequenced with the GC or CM programme and other trades.
Deficiencies and handover
Punch, documentation and turnover of the package to the lead contractor or owner.
Delivery process
From shop drawings to installation
Kept broad so it remains accurate across civil, structure, systems, millwork, finishes and envelope packages.
Scope review
Confirm inclusions, exclusions, interfaces and the documents we will work to.
Submittals and samples
Provide the information the consultant or GC needs before fabrication or install.
Procurement
Release materials against approved details and the project schedule.
Preparation
Shop fabrication or site prep where the selected division actually works that way.
Installation
Deliver the package on site inside the wider construction programme.
Handover
Close deficiencies for the package and turn it over to the lead team.
Built to fit the wider project
Trade packages are designed to sit inside someone else’s programme. We coordinate with the parties who already own the job.
General contractor or CM
Schedule, access, hoisting, protection and reporting follow the lead contractor’s system.
Consultant team
Submittals and RFIs go through the project’s established channels.
Other trades
Interfaces — structure, MEP, finishes, envelope — are planned so the package can be installed cleanly.
Site logistics
Deliveries and work areas respect occupied buildings and the host programme.

Why Eglinton
Why award a package to Eglinton
The offer is a bounded, accountable scope inside a larger job.
A defined package, not the whole project
You keep your GC or CM. Eglinton delivers the awarded division or specialty scope.
Division specialists on the documents
Shop drawings, samples and installation follow the package — not a generic construction brochure.
Fits the host programme
Access, sequence and reporting follow the lead contractor and consultant team already running the site.

Common questions
Common questions before you send a trade-package RFQ.
Can a trade package grow into general contracting?
Sometimes, if the owner later wants Eglinton to carry a wider scope. That is a separate conversation and a different contract — not an automatic upgrade.
Which divisions can be bid as a package?
Civil and infrastructure, structural, MEP, millwork and fabrication, architectural finishes, and building envelope. Use the divisions on this page to choose the relevant scope, then send drawings or a bid invitation.
How do we invite Eglinton to bid?
Use Invite to Bid on the contact form. Include tender deadline, time zone, the package or trades, and a link to drawings. Treat documents as private project information.
Have a defined scope to price?
Invite Eglinton to review your trade package. Share location, drawings and the tender deadline.
