Subcontractor Management
Subcontractor management encompasses the hiring and oversight of subcontractors to carry out work on behalf of a client. In regard to commercial construction in Birmingham, AL, it is frequently the responsibility of general contractors to handle this crucial task efficiently and effectively.
What is the subcontractor management process?
At Valenti Construction, we prioritize the production of high-quality deliverables from every subcontractor we work with. Our dedicated focus ensures that each subcontractor consistently delivers top-notch results.
The subcontractor management process consists of four main phases:
- Pre-award: This is the initial phase where potential subcontractors are evaluated and selected for the project.
- Award: Once the subcontractors are chosen, contracts and agreements are finalized to formalize the working relationship.
- Post-award: During this phase, the general contractor monitors the subcontractors’ performance, ensures adherence to project requirements, and handles any issues that may arise.
- Close-out: The final phase involves evaluating the subcontractors’ overall performance, settling any outstanding payments, and completing necessary documentation to conclude the subcontractor’s involvement in the project.
Pre-Qualify Subcontractors
We believe in the significance of effective subcontractor management, which begins in the pre-award phase. Before we coordinate subcontractors on the commercial construction job site, it is crucial to ensure that we are partnering with the right subcontractors from the very start.
Valenti Construction has a list of subcontractors we know and trust, but we continue to make sure we are working with the right person for the job. When interviewing new subcontractors, we take the vetting process very seriously.
Set Up Reliable Communication
Effective communication between general contractors and subcontractors is essential for the success of any construction project. By keeping everyone informed and fostering collaboration, communication plays a pivotal role in achieving project success.
Facilitating communication is a key aspect of subcontractor management. It is important for subcontractors to have a designated point of contact for different types of requests, such as safety, quality, project schedule, and more. This ensures clear channels of communication and effective coordination throughout the project.
Put Contract Details In Writing
Our proficient subcontractor managers understand the significance of documenting important commitments. By obtaining written agreements, the potential pitfalls of relying solely on verbal agreements are mitigated. Written commitments within subcontractor agreements hold more weight legally and provide a stronger foundation in case of disputes or legal proceedings.
Pay Attention To Payment Terms
Our Valenti team helps establish timelines, manage lead times, and identify cost-saving opportunities and value engineering. With these, we also assist in the payment management of subcontractors so that everything stays within reason and within budget as best as possible.
