THE INDUSTRY NORM How Does the “Contract Holder” Ensure Quality, Stability, and Accountabilitly? Wait.... How Does a Company Make Promises for 22 Other Businesses? Subcontracting can be okay, BUT more subs = more risk for you. Here’s why: Less Stability- Presuming all 20+ companies are able to stay in business, fully staff, and manage their finances is a risk. Quality “Guessing-Game” - 20+ companies do not have the same quality standards. Ever. More “Costly Surprises” - More companies = more unclear areas in the scope. This results in less accountability, more change-orders, and the “blame-game”.
