At P&H Construction Associates, we take pride in our subcontractors. They are specialists in their trade, and it is their expertise that makes our project team complete. No architect, engineer, or builder can ever know everything there is to know about every trade. Our subcontractors are specialists in their field, and as such they are an invaluable source of information – we make it a point to listen closely to their advice and ideas. We recognize that our success depends on our subcontractors!

When choosing our subcontractors we must evaluate many things. Do they provide fair pricing in accurate and complete bids? What is the level of their expertise? Do they employ competent workers and have enough manpower and the necessary equipment for the job? Will they be available at the particular time that their trade is required on a given project? Do they appreciate the importance of a schedule and will they work as a team to achieve it?

It goes without saying that each subcontractor must be properly insured, and licensed or registered when required. For certain projects they may have to be capable of providing payment and performance bonds for their work. We look for subcontractors who work well with our customers and design professionals, and who are creative in coming up with solutions to any problems that may arise.

There are all types and sizes of subcontractors: A one man company may be perfect for all the electric work on a small project, while another job may require a crew of twelve to complete the work in time. Our expertise is fitting the right subcontractor to the job.

On Construction Management Projects, our pool of subcontractors work with us in pre-construction phases of project planning to provide detailed budget analysis, to identify potential cost saving ideas, to uncover possible construction sequence problems and coordination problems with other trades, and to search for possible code compliance issues in the design. By utilizing their hands-on-knowledge we are able to solve most problems on paper before construction commences, and avoid the problems that plague so many construction projects.
