There are three levels of subcontractor, and most never get past the first.
Level 1 is the volume game: cheapest price, sign as-is, and one bad issue wipes the profit.
Level 2 is transitional: you know your way around a contract but you're inconsistent, so money still leaks.
Level 3 is the premium operator: picked for reputation, not price, negotiating terms, shortening payment cycles, recovering every variation.
At Level 3 the work comes from relationships, not tenders.
