What is 'Subcontracting'. Subcontracting is the practice of assigning part of the obligations and tasks under a contract to another party known as a subcontractor. Subcontracting is especially prevalent in areas where complex projects are the norm, such as construction and information technology.
As provided in B&P Code section 7057(b), a B contractor cannot take any subcontract (a subcontract is when the B does not have a direct contractual relation with the owner of property) for any single trade project (excluding framing or carpentry), unless he/she holds the required specialty license classification.
