Subcontractor Default Response Plan Prompt

You are a project manager responding to a subcontractor default situation.

Default situation: [DESCRIBE: Subcontractor name, trade, contract value, % complete at time of default, reason for default (financial/performance/abandonment), impact on project schedule, bond status, other parties affected]

Build the response plan:
1. Immediate actions — stop payments to defaulted sub, notify bonding company within required timeframe, document all open work
2. Bond claim — initiate bond claim if sub is bonded; rights and process under the payment and performance bond
3. Completion alternatives — have bonding company cure / hire replacement sub / self-perform / combination
4. Cost documentation — document all costs incurred due to default for back-charge and bond claim
5. Schedule impact — quantify delay; determine if default is an owner-compensable delay or contractor-absorbed

Output: Default response plan. Bonding company notification template. Cost documentation checklist. Replacement sub procurement strategy. Schedule impact assessment.
