Display subcontractor relationships on project views

Product Suggestion

Introduce clearer visibility of subcontractor relationships within project views, allowing users to quickly identify when a contractor is operating as a subcontractor and who they are subcontracting for.

This functionality could display subcontractor relationships directly within:

• Project dashboards

• Contractor lists

• Project contact views

• Onsite/expected attendance views

• Contractor profile project sections

For example, the system could show:

• “ABC Electrical Ltd – Subcontractor to XYZ Construction”

• Parent contractor relationships

• Grouped contractor hierarchies

• Expandable subcontractor structures within projects

This would provide users with clearer operational visibility of contractor structures without needing to manually open multiple records or investigate relationships separately.

Problem Statement

Currently, subcontractor relationships may not be immediately visible within project views, making it difficult for users to quickly understand:

• Which contractors are principal contractors

• Which companies are subcontracting

• Who subcontractors are working under

This can create confusion on larger projects involving multiple contractor layers and may require users to manually cross-reference records to understand contractor relationships.

Suggested Improvement

Add visible subcontractor relationship indicators within project and contractor views, clearly showing:

• Which contractors are subcontractors

• Which principal contractor they are linked to

• Relevant contractor hierarchy information

Potential Benefits

• Improved visibility of contractor relationships

• Faster understanding of project structures

• Reduced need to open multiple records

• Improved operational oversight on large projects

• Better contractor management and accountability

• Clearer reporting and onsite visibility for project teams
