Because of the increased project complexity and the highly competitive nature of the construction industry, a construction project often is executed by many subcontractors. Hence, effectively managing the numerous subcontractors involved in a construction project becomes a crucial challenge for the main contractor in ensuring timely project completion with acceptable quality.

Managing subcontractors does not simply involve asking them to allocate resources (labour, material, and machinery/equipment) into the project whenever an activity is scheduled, and then pushing them to speed up the work without a clear consciousness of schedule risk.

Factors (or uncertainties) such as weather, labour, site conditions, material delivery, and equipment breakdown can influence the time performance of subcontractors, affecting total project duration, and cost.
