History
Established in 2011.
The idea for MeritHall began in the summer of 2010 during Patrick Beal's tenure as Vice President of Beal Inc, a local Demolition and Asbestos Abatement subcontractor. Patrick frequently encountered difficulties in quickly finding skilled workers with verified histories for upcoming projects. In the construction industry, project labor requirements fluctuate daily due to a variety of - often uncontrollable - factors. Due to changes in weather, the availability of equipment, and the work of others, man-power needs can change dramatically even in the course of a single day.
The cost and time required of a traditional labor search does not allow contractors to fully maximize their overall productivity nor does it allow for workers to maximize their yearly earnings. A tool to quickly and efficiently identify and hire qualified construction personnel did not exist.
