What do you do if subcontractors and suppliers fail to meet your logical reasoning standards?

-Understand why they are not meeting standards. Is it due to inadequate processes, lack of resources, or miscommunication? -Evaluate how their shortcomings affect the project timeline, quality, and overall success. -Regularly review their progress. Provide feedback and adjust the plan as needed. -Review contracts for remedies. Consider penalties, renegotiation, or termination clauses, Seek legal advice if necessary to protect your interests. -Offer training or resources to bridge gaps. -Encourage feedback from all stakeholders to refine standards. -Maintain records for any contractual disputes. -Ensure that their shortcomings do not tarnish your project's reputation.

If subcontractors and suppliers fail to meet logical reasoning standards, first of all record the deficiencies using the quality tools, hold the meetings with subcontractor and supplier to discuss the issues to fix the deficiencies till the satisfaction level. If necessary, it may also involve seeking alternative vendors who can meet the required standards.

One thing I've find helpful, due to many similar situation, beyond the contractual terms, is trying to fully understand the root cause of the problem, next steps will be shown automatically.

Subcontractors and suppliers have to "buy in" to your program concerning budget, schedule and manpower for your project to be successful. If you encounter a lot of pushback, especially before contracting, re-evaluate your goals. Are you being realistic? Have you constructed this building before, and are you using historical data from the past successful projects to assign durations? Communicate with contractors and encourage open book transparency, from both sides. You may have to realign your expectations, or bring different contractors into the mix. If you feel your goals are realistic, stick to them, but understand that you will have to add players to the bidder field. This is a lot of work on your end, but well worth it.

Some important points to note when managing subcontractors are to ensure: 1. the subcontractor’s scope of work who is responsible for supplying. 2. the subcontractor should complies with the project’s safety requirements produces work of acceptable quality works according to the project schedule 3. regular meetings are held with the subcontractor to discuss safety, quality and environmental matters, as well as progress on the project and any delays and claims. 4. subcontractors acknowledge the receipt of drawings and information issued to them. 6. where relevant, the subcontractor supplies shop drawings in accordance with the project schedule, including allowing for obtaining the required approvals from the contractor or the client

The supply chain is completely wrecked in regard to electrical equipment / switchgear. Clever problem solving and figuring out how to phase projects as best as one can is where effort should be focused; not moaning about things you cannot control and acting like a victim. With some GMP customers, we have figured out how to get them operational in new spaces with the power they have and have smart plans to implement other equipment as quickly as possible once more power has been delivered to the facility.

Clearly communicate your logical reasoning standards, expectations, and performance requirements to subcontractors and suppliers from the outset of the project. Ensure that all parties understand the importance of logical reasoning in decision-making and problem-solving processes.

Open dialogue is a powerful tool to address thinking mistakes and lapses in logical reasoning. By engaging in open and honest conversations, we can identify the gaps in understanding, set clear goals and expectations and work together to improve critical thinking skills.This not only builds trust and strengthens relationships but also leads to better outcomes and success in projects and collaborations.

Effective communication is key so after assessing their challenges, looking out for a way forward in making necessary progress is required. Open up their understanding to reasons where certain standards are required and look out for ways to solve the challenges

If subcontractors and suppliers fall short of logical reasoning standards, clarity in communication is key. Have an open conversation about your expectations and offer guidance for improvement. Assess their suitability for the project and explore alternative options if needed. Prioritize collaboration and constructive feedback to ensure alignment and effectiveness in future interactions.

Some expectations are likely not to be met, so to reduce this as much as possible, apart from monitoring which is the next step, you need to set a series of benchmarks (for yourself or openly communicated) on those expectations to help you manage the different self-demands that everyone involved will have

It is important to reset , sit down together and assess your current position in relation to set objectives. Redefine objectives of project clearly highlighting the roles the subcontractors and suppliers are to play. Clearly define timelines they come to on the project life. All these decisions are not to be dictated but rather agreed on together . Keep clear communication lines till the set objectives are attained

Segun lo que he podido pasar en proyectos de construcción; un subcontratista o un proveedor nunca postula y gana un concurso con el fin de incumplir con las expectativas de su cliente. Muchas de las ocasiones se debe a una falta de comunicación entre ambas partes y a una falta de indicadores establecidos entre ambos. Por ejemplo, supongamos que adjudicamos una OC por 300 puertas. El proveedor entusiasmado busca darnos puertas con mejor acabado del que solicitamos, en consecuencia se demora más tiempo. Sin embargo, a nosotros solo nos interesaba que llegase lo antes posible debido a que eran restricción para otras partidas. Si nunca se definió esta expectativa al inicio, lo que ocurrió solo es consecuencia de lo que nunca se planificó.

Identify your gaps, establish reasonable expectations and set Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant and Time-bound (S.M.A.R.T) key performance indicators (KPI) to measure them. Utilize leading indicators to make ongoing improvements and address challenges, using lagging indicators to identify potentially unidentified issues. Use statistics and records, which accurately reflect and support your KPI’s, to monitor and adjust. Review these expectations, the KPI’s, the methods used to measure them, and open dialogue to train stakeholders.

SMART Objectives are to be set for improvement and necessary benchmark set to avoid disagreement and allow everyone to know the right standards to adhere to .

Implement robust monitoring systems to track subcontractor and supplier performance closely. Utilize key performance indicators (KPIs) and regular progress reports to identify any deviations from expected standards promptly. By staying vigilant, you can address issues proactively and ensure alignment with project requirements.

If subcontractors and suppliers don't think things through, monitoring progress helps by catching mistakes early and getting them back on track. This prevents big problems, builds trust and improves performance.

address it by clearly communicating expectations, providing constructive feedback, and working collaboratively to identify and resolve issues. If necessary, I monitor performance closely and seek alternative options to ensure project success.

When did "logical reasoning standards" become a thing in Construction? Have you seen the Bid Forms lately GC's are pushing out these days? "Logical reasoning" really doesn't apply when you're being asked to proved 100+ pricing breakouts and another 100+ "Yes/No" scope items. Trying to get your subs and vendors to accommodate you on multiple bids, most with very short deadlines and most with 50%SD to 100%DD designs with 'boiler-plate' specifications which engineers have taken from other jobs which have no relevance to the project at hand. "Logical reasoning" - lol.

Offer assistance and resources to subcontractors and suppliers to help them meet logical reasoning standards. Collaborate closely to understand their challenges and provide tailored support where needed, such as additional training or access to new technologies. By fostering a supportive environment, you can encourage improvement and strengthen partnerships for future projects.

A detailed review or assessment requires to be carried out to ascertain where things had started going wrong; the gaps may be on either side, starting from the lack of clarity in the SoW entrusted, thro the gaps in the ability for the Contractor / Sub-contractor. - The shortfalls experienced with the sub-contractors would have surfaced at much earlier stage. Identifying and addressing this at an earlier stage will help the recovery easier. - Support is required to be extended to the Contractor by discussions and deliberations weeding out the identified issue. - Specific targets with timelines could be given to the Contractor for acting upon positively to put the project back into the schedule. - Re-evaluation to be done for continuing

First of all try at initial level to stop sun contracting it it still exists then establish clear cut communications b/w the stakeholders. Time to time discuss the progress, Identify the gaps and eliminate it on time, Also RCA should be carried out to work up and followed up continuous till final delivery.

Continuously evaluate and learn from your experiences with subcontractors and suppliers to refine your approach to managing logical reasoning standards in construction projects. Identify lessons learned, implement process improvements, and apply insights to future projects to enhance overall project performance.

Maybe it is better to design based on the local knowledge and materials . Tja you van hire local contractors. Make something mom local asks for training or other parties
