The contractor is new to this state, and has beensubcontracting all of the work out and not performing any self-performed work. The contractor iscriticized because of this by the local general contractors and accused of being a “suitcasecontractor.” The GC would like to self-perform some work, but has not yet established a reliablelocal workforce. The developer has hired an estimating consultant, who reviews the contractor’sestimate and finds that they received competitive bids in all normally self-performed areas, andthe subcontractor prices are consistently lower than are the contractor’s direct estimates. Fivemonths of construction pass and there is a failure with the post-tension cables. It turns out thatthe contractor has…arrow_forward
