Contratos y EjecuciónPregunta 836 de 1605
A general contractor delegates the plumbing work to a licensed plumbing subcontractor. With respect to the owner, the general contractor generally remains:
a.Liable only if the subcontractor is unlicensed
b.Responsible to the owner for the subcontractor's performance under the prime contract
c.Unable to be paid for any of the work
d.Completely relieved of all responsibility for the plumbing
Explicación
Delegating performance to a subcontractor does not, by itself, relieve the general contractor of its obligations to the owner. The prime contractor remains responsible to the owner for the entire scope, including the subcontracted plumbing, unless the owner agrees to a novation releasing the general. The general's continuing responsibility is independent of whether the sub is licensed, and delegation does not forfeit the general's right to payment for completed work.
