How do you manage subcontractors to ensure they meet project standards and deadlines?
Managing subcontractors involves clear communication, setting expectations, and regular monitoring. I ensure that all project requirements are clearly communicated to them from the outset. This includes quality standards, timelines, safety protocols, etc.
I also set up regular progress meetings to monitor their work against these agreed upon standards and deadlines. If there’s any deviation, immediate corrective action is taken.
Moreover, maintaining a good relationship with subcontractors is crucial. By fostering an environment of mutual respect and open dialogue, it becomes easier to address issues as they arise and keep the project on track.
