We wouldn't be sourcing and contracting them, they would. We would hold the contract, pay them as PMs and they would pocket the difference. They get the premium of subcontracting with out holding the risk it seems. It might be fine and they were the cheapest but we don't know enough to make a good judgment so we wont be using them.
Good call. The commercial balance behind that arrangement is for them to focus solely on getting the cheapest contractors, leaving you with all the risk. Can't see what benefit there is for you.
