The decision to terminate a subcontractor is never made lightly. There is often significant operational and financial impact involved. Depending on why the subcontractor is in the process of default, it is possible to take actions that avoid termination and allow for the completion of the work. In some situations, finishing the scope of work with that subcontractor is not possible, for either performance or customer relationship reasons. Then you must turn your focus toward how to take decisive action to keep your project on track, facilitate the takeover and completion of that scope of work, and mitigate the almost inevitable unfavorable financial consequences that are about to occur. This session will add techniques to your repertoire as you “Choose Your Own Adventure” through the various scenarios a subcontractor default can take.
