Which statement is true about subcontracting problems?

Exclusive to new prime contractors
Exclusive to subtrades new to the prime contractor
Limitless to the experience of subcontractors
Common across all contractors

The correct answer is: Exclusive to subtrades new to the prime contractor

The statement that is true about subcontracting problems is that they can be common across all contractors. Subcontracting challenges are not limited to just specific groups of contractors or subcontractors, but can arise for anyone involved in the contracting process. This includes experienced prime contractors and subcontractors alike, regardless of their history or familiarity with one another. Successful subcontracting relies heavily on effective communication, management of relationships, and understanding the skills and capacities of subcontractors. Problems such as scheduling conflicts, quality control issues, or differences in work standards can occur irrespective of the experience level of the contractors involved. Therefore, the nature of subcontracting problems is broadly applicable, affecting all contractors engaged in similar projects.
