Principal contractor with domestic sub-contractor and supplier. The expression domestic does not necessarily infer housing, although housing contracts can be carried out in this manner. A domestic sub-contractor is a contractor who is appointed by the principal contractor. The client has no relationship with a domestic sub-contractor, unless he interferes with his selection such that the appointment becomes nominated. This type of appointment has become very common. 

Because the client has instructed him to use a firm which was not of his choice, the main contractor could claim damages in the form of loss and/or expenses from his client. Where the principal contractor has brought in his own domestic sub-contractor, then he is responsible for his actions. That is the main reason domestic subcontracts have become popular. The client must decide upon which trade will become the main contractor. In building matters, it is usual for the main contractor to be a firm who can carry out the most substantial works, and this will be a general building firm. Some general building firms carry their own mechanical and electrical departments, which reduce the need for sub-contractors. 

The survey instrument, drafted by the principal investigator and the survey contractor, went through 15 drafts and three rounds of peer review at the NIH. The instrument was pretested in 20 interviews for length (under 15 minutes) and clarity. The instrument was translated and back-translated by separate translators into Spanish, Mandarin and Cantonese Chinese, Vietnamese, and Korean. The instrument received approval from the Human Studies Committee at the University of Louisville. All interviewees gave oral consent at the beginning of the interview.

The current composition of the AR TD program and its focus is summarized in Table 5. Here we indicate the various contractors and the study areas emphasized in the various projects. It can be seen that the principal focus of the program is on the major areas of concern related to synfuel combustion, viz NO emissions and soot formation. The program is balanced with bo h analytical and experimental studies, with the principal experimental activities taking place in bench-scale apparatus. Several of the studies will also include measurements performed in environments relative to industrial combustor and commercial-scale burners. 

The arguments presented above suggest describing the two principal routes, Shell and Texaco, which differ in the gasification process, rather than listing all individual contractor design approaches. Figure 115 shows the classical sequence of process steps for both cases. 

Contractors - lenders interests extend beyond just the identity of the principal contractors. They will consider their reputation and financial strength in assessing whether there is any risk of default in relation to any function which is material to the project s success ... 

On another contract, in this case the principal was a university, all the inspection was to be handled by the general contractor, including that of the laying of "dairy brick" pavers. The specification was absolutely clear, including a requirement that the brick be laid in a furan resin bed a minimum of Vg in. thick, placed over a hot asphalt membrane. The finished floor was to have no greater variation in elevation between adjacent brick than %2 in. This was a tight specification, and one that would require slow and careful work to follow-but one that would assure a beautiful showplace floor. 

An old landfill 30 feet deep is to be densified for future construction. When it was originally placed, the landfill materials, principally construction debris and industrial wastes, were in five foot thick layers separated by a foot of soil, which the original contractor s report described as loam.

At the same time, Hercules was forced to cut back on another of its major product lines, those of its aerospace products group. During the 1980s it had been a principal contractor for the Defense Department s rocket motor systems. The group s products came to include those for the Trident If and SCAM missiles, and the Trident IV and Delta 11 Space Launch Programs. In 1989 Hercules had to post a 96 million loss for taking 327 million overcharges on these products. Then the explosion of the Trident IV in 1991 led to further losses. Finally, in 1995, Hercules sold off its aerospace business. ...
