A HANDBOOK FOR SUCCESS
TOP 5 TECHNIQUES FOR SUCCESSFULLY MANAGING YOUR SUBCONTRACTORS
1
ESTIMATE WITH CONFIDENCE
A successful project always starts with a solid estimate. You may not know if a particular scope of work will be self-performed or subbed out when creating the estimate, so gather enough detail so you can pivot successfully if necessary.
- If you’re getting vendor quotes, take the time to evaluate their past performance and adjust the numbers accordingly.
- Leverage data collected on past projects, including vendor issues and change orders (both by volume and type).
- Be sure to close out any errors and gaps in scope across the different bids, then you can enter the final bid review with confidence.
Use detailed estimates and past data to ensure accuracy from the start.
