The level of subcontractors’ control over jobsite conditions such as layout, temporary utilities, housekeeping, and nearby opera-tions depends on the subcontractor’s trade. Subcontractors performing demolition, excavation, or foundation work have a high level of site control because they often work alone on the jobsite, without other subcontractors or even the GC present. The level of site control for most subcontractors, however, is low because they work mostly when other subcontractors and the GC are also on the jobsite. It could be argued that even these subcontractors have some control over the site conditions because they could refuse to perform their work until the site was cleaned up, better shared equipment such as ramps and ladders were provided, or a fewer number of trades were working in the same place. The practical reality, however, is that most subcontractors do not want to refuse the directions of the GC, and will compromise their site conditions standards if necessary.
