| Abstract | Because of the increased project complexity and the highly competitive nature of theconstruction industry, a construction project often is executed by severalsubcontractors. Hence, effectively managing the numerous subcontractors involved ina construction project becomes a crucial challenge for the general contractor inensuring timely project completion with acceptable quality.Managing subcontractors does not simply involve asking them to allocate resources(labor, material, and machinery/equipment) into the jobsite whenever an activity isscheduled, and then pushing them to speed up the work without a clear consciousnessof schedule risk. Factors (or uncertainties) such as weather, labor, site conditions,material delivery, and equipment breakdown can influence the time performance ofsubcontractors, affecting total project duration.But almost General Contractor is leak of management sub-contractor and it causedmany difficulties and conflicts during performance, management of projects.The most difficulty of sub-contractor management is deviation scope of work betweensub-contractors, controlling schedule and interfacing between subcontractors.In managing project subcontractors, a general contractor must determine the items ofwork to be subcontracted, select subcontractors, set subcontract agreements, andcontrol the subcontractors duringconstruction. |
