Who is responsible for making corrections to completed work as per the subcontract?

1. The general contractor

2. The property owner

3. The subcontractor responsible for the correction

4. The architect overseeing the project

The correct answer is: The subcontractor responsible for the correction

The subcontractor responsible for the correction is tasked with addressing any deficiencies or required modifications in their work as outlined in the subcontract agreement. This responsibility typically arises because the subcontractor is expected to adhere to specific standards and quality control measures in their work. When the initial work is completed, if deficiencies are identified—whether due to errors, omissions, or not meeting the specified standards—the subcontractor is obliged to rectify these issues. This ensures that the project meets the requirements set forth in the contract and adheres to local building codes and regulations. While the general contractor, property owner, and architect may play significant roles in the oversight, management, and evaluation of the work, the responsibility for making the specific corrections typically falls directly on the subcontractor. This clarity of responsibility is essential to maintain efficient workflow and accountability on the construction site.
