Subcontractor Management
Our subcontractors represent us on the jobsite. This procedure ensures we select, manage, and hold our subs to the same standard of excellence we hold ourselves.
Procedure Steps
Follow each step in order. If something does not apply to the current situation, note it and move to the next step. If you find a better way, bring it to your group leader so we can improve the procedure for everyone.
Vet all new subcontractors before awarding work. Check references, insurance, licenses, and past project quality.
Provide a clear scope of work document for every subcontract. Ambiguity leads to disputes — clarity leads to quality.
Hold a pre-work meeting with the sub before they start. Review scope, schedule, safety requirements, and quality expectations.
Monitor subcontractor work daily. Do not wait for problems to surface — catch them while they can still be corrected easily.
Address quality or safety issues immediately and directly. Document the conversation and the required correction.
Process subcontractor pay applications within the agreed timeframe. Prompt payment builds loyalty and good partnerships.
Evaluate subcontractor performance at project completion. Document quality, reliability, and professionalism for future reference.
Maintain a preferred subcontractor list. Reward good partners with repeat work. Replace underperformers without hesitation.
