COI Tracking by Trade Type: Construction Trades Supported in Billy

Billy's COI tracking software supports all 123 standard construction trade types from Procore. See the full list and learn how trade-based certificate of insurance tracking works for general contractors.

Written by Nyasha Gutsa

Billy's COI tracking software supports the complete list of 123 standard construction trade types from Procore. That means general contractors managing certificate of insurance compliance in Billy can track COIs across every standard vendor trade — from concrete and electrical to HVAC, roofing, and demolition — without trade data getting dropped during sync.

This article covers which trade types Billy supports for COI tracking, why trade-based certificate of insurance tracking matters for construction compliance, and how trades flow into Billy when you sync vendors from Procore.

Why trade types matter for COI tracking

In construction, insurance requirements aren't one-size-fits-all. A demolition subcontractor carries a very different risk profile than a landscaper, and your COI compliance program should reflect that. Trade types are the foundation of risk-based certificate of insurance tracking — they're how general contractors decide which coverages, limits, and endorsements a vendor needs before they can step on site.

When trade types are missing or inconsistent on a vendor record, COI tracking breaks down: the wrong requirements get applied, compliant vendors get flagged as non-compliant, and high-risk trades slip through with inadequate coverage. Capturing the full, standard trade list on every vendor is what makes automated COI compliance tracking reliable.

How Billy tracks COIs across trade types

Billy's certificate of insurance tracking software stores a standardized trade type library that mirrors Procore's standard list of 123 trades. When a vendor is created in Billy — manually or through an integration — their trades are recorded against this library and used to drive compliance logic, requirement templates, and reporting.

For Billy customers using the Procore integration, vendor trade data syncs automatically. Every standard trade assigned to a vendor in Procore is recognized and recorded in Billy, so your COI tracking dashboard reflects the same trade coverage you see in Procore.

General contractors using Billy's COI tracking software for general contractors can then:

  • Apply trade-specific insurance requirements to vendors

  • Filter COI status reports by trade for project-level visibility

  • Identify gaps where a vendor's coverage doesn't match the risk of their trade

  • Run prequalification workflows that branch by trade type

Trade types and the Procore + Billy integration

If you're running construction COI tracking through the Procore + Billy integration, trade types sync automatically from Procore vendor records into Billy. Every standard trade is recognized, and re-syncing a vendor will pick up any trades that were previously missed. There's no manual mapping required and no duplicates created on re-sync.

This is one of the reasons general contractors use Billy as their COI tracking software for Procore — vendor and trade data flows in cleanly, so compliance status reflects what's actually on the project.

Frequently asked questions

Does Billy support COI tracking by trade type?
Yes. Billy stores trade types on every vendor and supports trade-based requirements, filtering, and reporting across the full list of 123 standard construction trades.

What if my subcontractor's trade isn't in the standard Procore list?
That trade is likely a custom entry in Procore rather than a standard one. Mapping it to the closest standard trade in Procore will allow it to sync into Billy and participate in your COI tracking workflow.

Can I track different insurance requirements for different trades?
Yes. Billy supports trade-specific compliance requirements so high-risk trades like demolition, roofing, or structural steel can carry different coverage thresholds than lower-risk trades.

How does trade data sync from Procore into Billy?
When a vendor syncs from Procore, Billy reads their assigned trades and records them against the standard trade library. The sync is idempotent, so re-syncing won't create duplicate trades.

I'm not using Procore — can I still track COIs by trade in Billy?
Yes. Trade types can be assigned manually or through Billy's other integrations. The standard trade library is available to all customers regardless of how vendors are added.
