Certainteed Develop a "Supersub" Trade Contractor Homebuilding Process Approach

The supersub trade contractor program examines the effects of radically changing the structure of the present homebuilding process. The central concept of this change is to replace the large number of small- to medium-sized trade contractors who serve individual homebuilders with a smaller number of supersub trade contractors serving each homebuilder. Supersub trade contractors could provide the labor, and possibly the material, for a combination of activities on a house construction project.
