The correct answer is: To perform specialized trades such as plumbing or electrical work

The primary role of a subcontractor in a construction project is to perform specialized trades such as plumbing, electrical work, HVAC, or other specific tasks within the larger project. Subcontractors are typically hired by the general contractor to provide expertise in particular areas that require specific skills and licensing. This allows the general contractor to focus on overall project management and coordination while leveraging the expertise of skilled tradespeople for specialized tasks. In many construction projects, certain jobs require not only specialized knowledge but also compliance with local codes and regulations. Subcontractors often have the necessary training, certifications, and equipment to handle these specialized tasks efficiently and safely, contributing to the successful completion of the project. Their role is integral to ensuring that specific elements of construction meet both quality standards and deadlines.
