A subcontractor is responsible for completing specific tasks or projects assigned by a general contractor, adhering to the agreed-upon schedule and budget. They must ensure the quality of their work meets industry standards and complies with relevant regulations. Additionally, subcontractors are typically accountable for managing their own workforce, materials, and equipment while maintaining clear communication with the general contractor to address any issues or changes that arise during the project. Lastly, they must handle their own financial obligations, including payments to their employees and suppliers.
A subcontractor can hire another subcontractor but can only put a lien on the property if the original subcontractor isn't paid. The lien can also be placed if the second subcontractor was not paid because of the original subcontractor was not paid. The replacement of the second subcontractor is not grounds for a lien.
a nominated subcontractor, with various provisions for obtaining indemnities by the subcontractor (or Employer) but under the main contractor responsibility and coordination, or ** another contractor, which FIDIC provides the incumbent Main Contractor is required to give site access, etc, etc to but coordinated by the Employer My own understanding, very simply put is that a nominated subcontractor is actually a "normal" subcontract between Main Contractor and Subcontractor, BUT that the nominated subcontractor is selected by the Employer and price agreed with the Employer directly. That would mean that the Main Contractor has the accountability for the subcontractor, notwithstanding any indemnities. The Consultant has stated today that in their opinion: ** the nominated subcontractor is selected by the Employer and signs a contract direct with the Employer ** the Employer will secure assurances, bonds / performance sureties and warranties direct with the subcontractor, and ** that the Main Contractor DOES NOT sign a subcontract with the subcontractor ** that the main Contractor will not be held liable for certain specified warranties My understanding is that the Main Contractor still should sign a subcontract with the nominated subcontractor and assumes the responsibilities of a Main Contractor over the Subcontractor - though the Employer states that the Main Contractor has no liability specified warranty issues and quality (only). I would believe the Main Contractor still has a number of responsibilities in respect of the subcontractor and their general performance. The Consultant assures they have checked FIDIC and it is normal for the Employer to sign a subcontract direct with the Nominated Subcontractor. I would believe in that case it is not a "Nominated Subcontract", but instead a direct supplementary contract between the Employer and their Contractor (secondary contractor) Can you kindly advise quite simply, the contractual position of a nominated subcontract under FIDIC ...... ie does the Employer sign the contract / subcontract with the Nominated Subcontractor, or is it a subcontract between Main Contractor and Nominated Subcontractor with the normal (in general terms) obligations by the Main Contractor for the Subcontractor, to the Employer.
Sub contractors must firstly assess the workplace ensuring that it is safe and up to the standards of the Health and safety work act 1974. Once assessed they can then enquire about the roles and responsibilities of their forth comming job.

To "liabilitise" a subcontractor typically involves formalizing the subcontractor's responsibilities and obligations within a contract. This includes clearly defining the scope of work, deliverables, and timelines, along with specifying liability clauses that outline accountability for any damages or losses incurred. Additionally, it's important to include indemnification provisions to protect the primary contractor from potential claims arising from the subcontractor's actions. Proper insurance coverage should also be mandated to ensure adequate financial protection for all parties involved.
this is a waiver of lien by contractor, subcontractor, or supplier.
I'll find a subcontractor to finish the job.
Subcontractor default insurance and bonds both provide financial protection against subcontractor defaults, but they work in different ways. Subcontractor default insurance reimburses the general contractor for costs incurred due to a subcontractor default, while bonds guarantee that the subcontractor will fulfill their obligations. Bonds require a third-party surety to pay if the subcontractor defaults, while insurance is a direct reimbursement to the general contractor.

A nominated subcontractor is chosen by the client or architect, and the main contractor is not liable for the performance of the nominated subcontractor. In contrast, a selected subcontractor is chosen by the main contractor, who remains liable for the selected subcontractor's performance.
