| Abstract: | Construction work employs an intensive technology and requires the contribution of a variety of trades. Most construction firms obtain business by submitting competitive bids for projects with owner-determined specifications. The site-based nature of production also makes it highly prone to uncertainties in climate and site conditions, and availability of resources in the local environment in which the project is carried out. Use of subcontracting emerges in construction as a popular response to cope with these uncertainties. |
