The level of site control for GCs is very high because they are explicitly tasked with monitoring and coordinating the work of the subcontractors. GCs alone can direct the overall work of the subcontractors, including site layout, housekeeping, and the pace of construction (notwithstanding the fact that direction that conflicts with the subcontract or with custom and practice can result in change orders or claims). Furthermore, GCs frequently provide equipment and facilities that are shared by subcontractors, such as ladders, scaffolding, ramps, and dumpsters.
