Subcontract the Works

There can be two ways to it...If your contract document states that particular work need to be carried out by so & so nominated contractor then quality supervison and defect libilty etc becomes libility for subcontractor and client...But being a Main contractor u may have to furnish bonds.

If that is not the case then u can have back to back contract with specified contractor...

I persume its absolutely safe as i presenly i am excuting project whereby airconditioning work is being carried out by nominated subcontractor as per clients reuest and contract conditions..

We consider this as client preferred sub-contractor,therefore it is treated as "back-to-back" contract aggreement with sub-contractor, meaning sub-contractor must aggree on whatever clauses in the contract with the company.

In my opinion, I suggest that you should establish an agreement with that subcontractor as a safeguard to your project.



* Define the scope of works which will be subcontracted as equal to the 40% of the total work.

* Define the conditions of contract which will be used.



hope this helps.



Goodluck!

I wouldnt touch that project with a 10-foot pole. In the United States, what you are describing could not be done legally. I question if it is legal in your country as well.



TALK TO A LAWYER (or Solicitor) BEFORE YOU GO ANY FURTHER!



Good Luck!
