Subcontractors
A construction project is usually awarded to a contractor. The primary duties of the contractor
include cost and time estimation .The sub constructors were subcontracted to perform the
following operations:
 Estimation of the cost of the work.
 Provision of subcontracted services like plumbing among others (Ismailos and Touchie
2017).
In the construction work of that was under supervision, the selection of the subcontractors that
were on the site was guided by the following criteria.
In order to ensure that the sub-contractor met the job requirements, the following criteria were
used:
 The chosen subcontractor had requisite financial strength to maintain flow of cash
 Had enough experienced staff for site supervision
 Had standard workmanship as stipulated in the job requirements
 Programme adherence

2017). The selection of the materials for the construction sought the assistance of the experts
including civil engineers, architects, among others. In order to ensure that all the required
materials were available for the construction, quantity surveyor assistance was considered very

were made.
Question 3
Construction sites are known to be some of the easy targets for thieves that are opportunistic.
Considering the high value for the equipment and plants, any thief with an access to the site can
easily have quick profits. Considering the location of the project, the access to the site was
determined after identification of the threats which included: Theft, Vandalism as well as
terrorism(Gusakova et al 2017). The construction site has been designed to have only one point
for accessibility on the Eastward area which is facing the adjacent main road. Biometric system
has been used with the details of the individuals accessing the site. Only those individual whose
details are in the database will have access to the sites. The visitors are to be issued with
‘Visitors Card’
