What is a Subcontractor Performance Evaluation Form?
A Subcontractor Performance Evaluation form is like a report card that a business uses to evaluate the subcontractors you've hired to do a specific job or task, if they did those according to the plans, within the budget, following the timeline, or just if overall they're easy to work with. It's used to "rate" their performance and professionalism.
It includes the basic but important parts like checking their quality of work, their timeliness, how they communicate between and across teams, if they followed all the safety protocols, and lastly but most importantly, if they followed through the agreed budget.
An evaluation form helps businesses determine whether they want to hire this same subcontractor again, or not. And for the subcontractor's side, they get to have feedback on things they should improve on.

How can a Subcontractor Performance Review improve project outcomes?
No matter the size of a project, all contractors and subcontractors rely on each other to some extent to deliver a successful project and finished asset.
This is great in some ways, because it allows deeper specialisation and better overall performance. It enables every contractor to focus on what they are great at. The downside to the interconnectedness of the industries is that the poor performance or low quality work of one subcontractor effects other parties on the job - and reflects poorly on the entire project.
In order to mitigate this problem, clients, contractors and subcontractors conduct and document performance evaluations. These evaluations, which take the form of a subcontractor performance evaluation form (specifically designed for subcontractors) helps to reward good work, penalise bad work, and ensure that the level of work being achieved across projects is to a high standard and that every party is accountable for their performance.
While not a 'perfect' method of scoring and rating (there must be conscious effort to avoid any biases), the performance evaluation is a powerful measuring stick, and a pattern of poor performance evaluations is a strong predictor of future performance.
What does Subcontractor Performance Evaluation Form typically include?
There's not a legally mandated or strict template to follow for a Subcontractor Performance Evaluation Form, because it depends on the company policies and preferences, what works for them or the subcontractors, for as long as it follows the local guidelines or management standards a business follows or aligns with the best practices, then everything checks out.
These are the common elements in a Subcontractor Performance Evaluation Form:
- A set of criteria for the subcontractor performance (their quality of work, timeliness, if standard protocols were followed, cost control, communication, etc)
- A rating system, depending on the company policies or whichever works for any of the parties involved
- A checklist if health and safety laws are being followed. It depends on the company and the type of industry/project which specific laws are being highlighted.
How can these subcontractor performance reviews prevent delays and cost overruns?
If you're paid to do a certain job, then you should follow through with the hiring party's budget and timeline.
Subcontractor evaluations prevent delays and cost overruns by making sure that the people that were hired to do the job, make sure they actually do a good job.
Here are how evaluations prevent delays and extra costs:
- It helps catch problems early on, like a subcontractor constantly missing deadlines and doing poor-quality workmanship. Conducting regular evaluations will be able to help you spot issues before your project gets even more delayed and at an expensive cost.
- If the subcontractors know that their work is being rated, then they're going to follow through with their jobs. It keeps them in check, not to scare them, but also a way to increase their good reputation in the industry.
- An evaluation also serves as proof or like a draft record of their performance, based on the hiring party's POV. It makes sure that work has to be done right for the first time, as much as possible, and not the second time.
