The construction industry holds a very important position in the economy of Nigeria and can be regarded as the driver of economic development. Subcontractors executes some of the works that makes a contract, therefore, the success or failure of construction projects are partly determined by the performance of subcontractors. The study examines the impact of subcontracting system on project delivery. Primary data were obtained through questionnaires administered on Professionals in Contracting and Consultancy Firms in Lagos State. Secondary data were collected through review of relevant literature and Contract documents. Thirty questionnaires were retrieved out of a sample of Fifty-five professionals selected from the register of the Nigerian Institute of Quantity Surveyors (NIQS) Lagos chapter and Nigerian Institute of Builders (NIOB) Lagos chapter using Simple Random Sampling techniques. Data obtained from the survey were analyzed using the measure of central tendency and weighted Average method of data analysis. The result revealed that high technical skill, devotion and competence of subcontractor has a significant effect on the overall success of a project and the effect of low productivity are cost overrun and extension of project duration. Hence, the study concluded that the involvement of highly specialized subcontractor in construction project enhance the quality and standard of project delivery.
