Domestic Sub Contractors



This is the most common type of sub contractors that you can see in any type of construction project. Domestic sub contractors can be identified as the sub contractors who are directly working under the main contractor. The contractual relationship is in between Main Contractor and domestic sub contractor.

Selection of domestic sub contractors is according to sole discretion of the main contractor. Therefore main contractor should hold the risk and responsibility for all the activities carried out by the domestic sub contractors.

There are many advantages of having domestic sub contractors over other types of sub contractors. Because most of the time main contractor select his domestic sub contractors based on their past experience. As well as main contractor have the flexibility to choice sub contractors by considering in terms of cost which maximise his profit.

Also main contractor have  well control over the domestic sub contractors due to durect contractual relationship.

  1. When you build with ICF construction, you get two benefits regarding how energy efficient your home is. You can't let air in through the walls because it is very well sealed. For another thing, there aren't any thermal bridges between the two continuous insulating layers on each side because they're all one. Because the building envelope is tiny, there is a lot less heat loss. An ICF system that comes from the store may not be enough to meet the needs of a high-performance house, like a Passive House. If you live in a cold place, like Canada or the northern parts of the United States, you might have trouble meeting insulating standards and other laws. If you live in a cold place, you might want to look into WestPeak ICF's products, which have an R-value of up to R-48.
