I think the solution is hiring a Project Manager also, and finding labor only contractors, I have no problem working for labor only contracts, but if my guys show up, and materials are not there, they have to pay the whole day if they cancel, or pay the hours of waiting for materials to arrive, there is no way I'm paying for the owner/clients short comings.Also I am reading that his subs don't have enough crew or skill to run more than a few jobs, that's why he is looking for more subs.To the OP, you might need to get a good superintendent for your needs, there is nothing better than in-house crew, however, it is a lot of work to manage it, as all the profit risk falls on you, that means, if you estimate a job at 800 hours, and it consumes 1000 hours, then you will at least lose 200 hrs * rate/hr.  

Not to mention Weymouth goes through Superintendents roughly every three years the past 15.

I am a superintendent in Dallas and have built new apartments for over 35 years.

Looking at this 12 plex deal that has 1 unit being used for the superintendent.

We are both currently Senior Construction Superintendents in the oil field. 

However, I am a masonry contractor and my business partner is a general contractor superintendent. 

Originally posted by @Jeff Greenberg:The lost rent should go as concession and negative against the revenues.Jeff: We treat the superintendent's rent as salary payed in-kind and thus deduct it as an actual expense and not as lost revenue.  

My father was a building superintendent (fancy name for a janitor) for many, many years.   

If they are illegal, or more importantly if you think they are, they may not be.My last job was a contractor/translator where it was pretty much me, my boss the superintendent, and about 45 non English speaking workers doing a 22 story high rise.

i'm a big fan of getting a GC license, i really wanted to get one, the problem is/was to get the license you need to show years of experience in different field of construction signed of by someone with some sort of superintendent license.
