Engineer & Construction companies working on a projectNov 05, 2023

Hello

What do you think of a Board hiring a construction company to work on a project but then they hired a subcontractor? the contractor is overseeing the subcontractor. Why??? To me that doesn’t make sense. Shouldn’t the engineer company oversee the construction company? Why do we need two construction companies unless someone isn’t insured properly. They didn’t hire a huge engineer company so that could be the case. They assessed the damage etc but that’s it. I’m also assuming its also cheaper. The two Construction companies working together are going to agree with anything that’s done but if the engineer company oversees it then it’s fair and a neutral.
