Duration: 1/2 Day

Instructor: Blake Wentz

Subcontractors represent a significant portion of most mechanical contracts, and the performance of your subcontractors is a direct reflection of your own performance in the eyes of an owner, construction manager, or general contractor. On many projects the on-site foreman becomes so absorbed by his own specific work activities that he loses sight of the fact that the subcontractor’s work is also a part of their company’s contract. The project foreman’s effective daily on-site management of subcontractors is required to ensure a successful quality project that is completed on time and within budget. This session will include the following subcontractor management topics: thoroughly understanding the subcontractor’s scope of work, managing change orders, proper communication, developing strong relationships, managing safety, coordination, documentation.
