Uher, T E (1991) Risks in subcontracting: Subcontract conditions. Construction Management and Economics, 9(6), pp. 495-508. ISSN 01446193
Abstract
The use of non-standard, contractor-prepared subcontract conditions is widespread in the Australian construction industry. Many conditions in such subcontracts are harsh and are viewed by Australian subcontractors as the most critical risk for which they make risk allowances in the bid price.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
