Most building work is delivered by subcontractors, yet weak coordination between them is a leading cause of delay, poor quality and disputes. This course covers the practical management of nominated and domestic subcontractors, from appointment and interfaces to payment and performance. It is grounded in African building projects where a main contractor must knit many trades into one programme.
Contracts managers, site agents, project managers and quantity surveyors coordinating subcontractors on building projects.
