Sub-subcontractor: On very large or complex projects, a subcontractor may hire a sub-subcontractor to complete an even more specialized part of the contract scope.

So can a subcontractor hire another subcontractor? Whether subcontractors may hire subcontractors depends on the terms of the general contracting agreement. Even if it's possible, it may not be ideal. General contractors should be aware that sometimes too many cooks spoil the soup.

Defining the Scope It defines what will and will not be included in the construction process. A well-defined scope ensures that all parties, including the client, contractor, and subcontractors, have a common understanding of the project's objectives and limitations.

A scope of work will set the foundation for a construction contract. It should clearly outline the expectations of a general contractor or subcontractor. If a scope of work is not clearly defined it can lead to miscommunication, disputes, and project delays.

A scope of work is a document that outlines the rights and obligations of you, your client and any subcontractors you use. It brings everyone together on the same page before you begin a project. The fate of your general contracting business could depend on how well each project's scope of work outlines the job.

The proper scope definition in the subcontract agreement is the key to successful subcontractor management. When a subcontract has well-defined scope statements, the parties can avoid unnecessary arguments about who will handle certain items.

Subcontracting firms might bid for work running school canteens, providing manpower to clean hospitals or even to HVAC systems in large buildings. These sectors are often catered for by larger companies providing subcontracting services to other businesses rather than being lone workers operating on their own.
