Avoiding the Risk of Subcontractor Default

 

Learn best practice procedures for prequalifying subcontractors and managing subcontractor default risk.

Like a chain, a construction team is no stronger than its weakest link. In these uncertain times of increased demand for construction, stretched backlogs, labor shortages, and cost escalations, the risk of subcontractor default is at an all-time high. Subcontractor default is the weak link that can turn an otherwise successful project into an utter failure overnight.

This presentation will help people responsible for entering into and administering subcontracts to recognize the causes and telltale signs of high-risk subcontractors early in the constructive process. In some cases, default can be avoided by simply subcontracting with a different subcontractor. In other cases, proactive measures can be taken to avoid or mitigate the effect of terminating a high-risk subcontractor. This topic will explore some of the options available to general contractors, construction managers, and upper-tier subcontractors to avoid the project-destroying effect of subcontractor default.
