The life of a "subbie" - Part 2

The subbie is, perhaps, the most squeezed piece in this construction jigsaw. Stuffed between the main contractor and client, they're at the end of a long chain, without any real insight into the project or direct access to client funds.

That's why it is important to develop a good, down-to-earth, relationship and straight communication with these guys. And sometimes they'll even share bits of "information" which, pieced together, may start to provide a better picture of the overall state of affairs.

Whatever the reasons, rightly or wrongly, you could easily jump to the conclusion that this is an issue of more serious ramifications. The question is, therefore, when do you pull in the oars and call it a day? It's a tricky question and not one I particularly want to have to address.
