Subbing out work, advice needed please?

[David Hammond]

I’m glad to see you’re giving it some thought 👍

I don’t have any specific terms, I think its difficult to have set terms with so many variables.

However, here’s what I find works.

Communication – If your not sure, run it past the fitters, ask the fitters how they want the job supplying

Help them out – Try and make their life easier, put things in order to make their life easier

VISUAL – Give them a visual, number of times I’ve been handed a box of bits and told to fit it.

We tend to hand all of this to the fitters in a document, confirming everything that was discussed and agreed, contact details for site, ours of there’s a snag, Risk assessment of required.

The grey area I don’t like is if the fitter did the measurements and they happen to be wrong.

I like to think what subbies we do use, appreciate us making their life, and the job easier. If they still cock it up, they’re probably not very good.

Good advice and just at the right time for me.

I have a job i think i will have to sub out. i just don’t have the time at the moment and the weather is not the best to be working days on the trot out in the freezing cold. 🤧
