FAQs about software for subcontractors in the construction industry answered

A subcontractor is an independent company that, within the framework of a subcontracting agreement, undertakes specific services for a larger construction project. They are usually commissioned by the general contractor to carry out individual trades such as electrical work, structural work, or interior finishing. The term "subcontracting agreement" describes the contractual relationship between the client and the subcontractor. The subcontractor is responsible for the professional execution of the work and for the quality, deadlines, and documentation of their services.

Subcontractors and sub-subcontractors are practically the same thing – both provide services on behalf of a general contractor or another company. The term "subcontractor" is often used colloquially or across industries, while "subcontractor" is more common in the construction context.

The contract also specifies how additional services, change orders, or plan modifications are handled.
