Exclusive representation
Your market deserves
our undivided focus.
One exclusive represented contractor per protected trade in an approved market. A defined commitment to your business, with clear boundaries from the start.
Your protected area is measured from an approved market center to project locations—not competitors’ offices. Different, noncompeting trades can share the same area.

Expanded markets have custom agreed boundaries. All protection requires Iris approval and a written Schedule A. This illustration does not show availability or ownership of GCs, projects, or bid lists.
