Before starting work on any Druther Homes project, the following must be on file:

• W-9 Form — Required for all vendors and subcontractors
• Certificate of Insurance (COI) — General liability and workers' compensation with Druther Home Investments, LLC listed as additional insured. Send certificates to coi. Insurance requirements are detailed in your trade partner agreement. If you do not carry workers' comp, a deduction will apply.
• Trade License — Applicable state or local licenses for your trade
• ACH Authorization — Recommended for faster payments via our secure enrollment form

Our purchasing team conducts orientation for new trade partners, covering:

• Overview of the bidding process and how to access plans and programs
• How to use BuilderTrend, including specifications, scopes of work, and purchase orders
• Administrative details — invoice submission, COI and W-9 management
• First-time trade partners walk through the house with a Construction Manager to outline scope and set expectations before starting work

Once your work is 100% complete, submit your invoice. To process without delays:

• A valid PO number must be referenced on every invoice
• Include an itemized breakdown that matches the PO scope
• Send invoices to ap citing the matching PO number
• Invoices without a matching PO will take longer to process — contact your Purchasing Coordinator (listed on the PO) if there's a discrepancy

We offer three payment methods:

• ACH Direct Deposit — Recommended. Fastest and most reliable. Enroll here.
• Electronic Check (eCheck) — Delivered via email from our payment processing system. These emails are legitimate and secure.
• Standard Check — Mailed to your address on file

Invoices are processed on a regular cycle. Once submitted with a valid PO reference, approved invoices are typically paid within our standard terms. If you have questions about a specific payment, reach out to our accounts payable team at ap.
