ServicesSubcontracting and completion of projects for other contractors
Your programme.
Our package.
Agreed scopes of work inside projects led by a general or main contractor: whole phases, single packages, finishing and installation works, delivered by our crews and supervision to your programme and your site rules. Including the completion of works someone else left unfinished.

What it is
A subcontract is a promise about one part of a building, kept inside someone else's programme.
Under a subcontract we take responsibility for a defined scope within a project you lead: a structural phase, the envelope, the finishes, or a single installation package. We bring the labour, the teams, the supervision and the execution, coordinate our own workforce and any specialists we engage, and fit the work into your sequence. We also complete works another subcontractor left behind, after an inspection and a written record of the condition we found.
What you get
Six things you
hold in your hand
Not promises. Each of these is a person, a document or a report you receive, and can point to if it is missing.
A package foreman
One lead for the package who takes sequence from your site management and answers for our scope.
Method statement and risk assessment
How the package will be built and made safe, submitted before we start and kept current.
A package programme
Keyed to your master programme, with the interfaces to other trades marked.
Daily records, weekly progress
Labour, plant and progress recorded daily; a weekly summary against the package programme.
Stage quality records
Inspections and sign-offs at each hold point, so nothing is covered up unchecked.
A package handover
The scope handed back inspected, snagged and documented, with as-built information where it applies.

Fit
When to choose it
- You hold the main contract and need one scope done properly.
- A phase is behind and needs a team that can finish it.
- You want a package priced and carried by one party, not a crew to direct.
- A previous subcontractor has left and the work has to be completed.
Used for
Typical packages
- Residential block structure or finishes
- Office fit-out packages
- Industrial building envelopes
- Hotel interior finishing
- Public building packages under a main contractor
- Completion of stalled sites
Questions
Asked before
signing
The situations clients ask about before a subcontract. Anything else, ask directly.
Lump sum or re-measurable?
Whichever your documents support. Where quantities are firm we price a lump sum; where they are not, we re-measure against agreed rates. The subcontract states which applies to each part.
Can you start on a site that is already running?
Yes. We need the induction, the attendances and a look at the interfaces with the trades already there. A running site with a clear sequence is easier than an empty one without.
Who coordinates with the other trades?
Your site management sets the sequence. Our foreman works within it and raises clashes early, in writing, rather than building around them and arguing later.
Will you take over another subcontractor's unfinished work?
Yes, after an inspection and a written record of the condition we found. Our responsibility runs from that record forward, so what came before stays where it belongs.
Do you bring your own subcontractors?
For specialist parts of a package, yes, named in advance and under our responsibility. Regulated installations go through licensed installers we coordinate.
What if the programme slips for reasons outside our package?
We record it, agree revised dates with you, and deal with the time and cost effects through the procedure the subcontract sets, not through a dispute at the end.
