Current Projects of the Committee
Preventing and Managing the Risk of a Subcontractor Default
The following best practices are designed to inform your risk management strategy. They are not a substitute for a tailored strategy reviewed by your risk management, pre-construction, and operations leaders, along with business partners (brokers, attorneys, consultants, etc.). While these practices have proven helpful, not all will apply to every situation. Each contractor must independently determine what is relevant and appropriate for their specific circumstances.
