- 01Your Subcontractor Relationships Are Only as Good as Your Records of ThemYou called the sub back because the last job went fine. You don't remember exactly when the problems started. Just that by week three you were managing around them instead of with them. The history you didn't write down is the decision you're making from memory.
- 02How to Qualify a Subcontractor Before You Put Them on a JobMost contractors qualify a sub by checking their license and calling a reference. That is the minimum, not the qualification. The minimum says they're allowed to work. The qualification says whether they can deliver what this specific job needs.
- 03What to Document After Every Subcontractor Conversation So Nothing Gets DisputedThe documentation discipline for sub conversations is not about preparing for a dispute. It is what prevents disputes from forming. Most disputes with subs begin not with bad faith but with two parties who genuinely remember the conversation differently.
