How are subcontractors managed effectively on construction projects?

Subcontractor management: (1) Selection - prequalification, competitive bidding, evaluation of capability and price, (2) Contracting - clear scope, flow-down of prime contract requirements, payment terms, (3) Coordination - schedule integration, coordination meetings, work area assignments, (4) Performance monitoring - quality inspections, schedule tracking, safety compliance, (5) Payment - timely processing based on progress, retainage management, (6) Issue resolution - early identification, problem-solving approach. Subcontractors perform 70-90% of work on most projects; their success is project success. Clear communication and fair treatment essential.
