Building the Best, Together.
Building the best working environment, like building the best structures, takes a team effort. Thanks to the unwavering dedication of our subcontractors, Choate is honored to hold the title of Nation’s Safest Contractor, presented by The Associated General Contractors of America (AGC). It’s by working together that we are able to maintain the highest standards of safety on each jobsite, ensuring everyone returns to their families safely.
It’s no coincidence Choate regularly works with the most well-respected subcontractors and vendors in the construction industry. Excellent people deliver excellence, and we take great pride in fostering long-term relationships with those who share our commitment to safety, integrity, quality, and hard work.

Electronic Billing
Choate Construction Company accepts electronic applications for payment from vendors with subcontracts and purchases orders. In order to submit billings electronically, the company must sign up for electronic billing (see “How to Sign Up” below) and have a current contract in our system.

How To Sign Up
Step One: Sign Up For Electronic Billing & Signature
Who needs to sign up?
Each company is only required to sign up for electronic billing once; however, anyone who completes or signs billings (including witnesses) for the organization will need to sign up for an electronic signature login. Companies may have multiple logins for different employees within their organization. Each login must have a unique username and password and cannot contain the “$” symbol.
How do I sign up?
Be sure to have your company’s tax ID # available and complete the Payment Application System Access Request form. Keep the user name and password selected in a safe place for future billings. If you forget your username or password, here are the instructions to update your password.
Step Two: Submit Application For Payment
Have the user name and password previously created available.
