Subcontracting is a common practice in the construction industry. It helps in reducing the cost of construction projects and also in achieving better results. In this blog, we will discuss the importance of coordination between the Main Contractor and Sub Contractor when it comes to completing construction projects smoothly.
Who is a Subcontractor?
A subcontractor is a person or company who has contracted with the main contractor to provide part of the work on a construction project.
A subcontractor is usually not an employee of the main contract services but rather acts as an independent contractor. This means that the main contractors are responsible for making sure all laws and regulations are followed when working with them and that they fulfil their obligations under these contracts.
The Advantages of having a Subcontractor
A subcontractor can be a great partner for your main contractor. The following are some of the advantages of using a subcontractor:
Reduces risk of the main contractor Decreases cost for the main construction company Increases productivity, flexibility, and quality by allowing smaller companies to compete against bigger ones on their turf (i.e., at home vs abroad). It also allows them to work more efficiently because they are not limited by working hours or have too many people in one place at any given time; this leads to more accurate estimates and faster completion times
