Order of backtracking problem in field discovery

Slightly confused about situations where a problem is discovered in field. Not so much who is responsible, but more so the order of event in order to report the problem. If a subcontractor discovers an issue, is the process of it getting back to the owner governed by the hierarchy of trades, or would sub tell the contractor who then would immediately tell the owner for the quickest notification, and it's the owner who is left with the choice of who to notify next?

Hope that question is clear!

 

Thanks,

 

Aaron

  Sub finds and issue>Goes and tell the GC ONLY. GC has 7 days to bring this up to the architect(it used to be like 18 days in the 2007 version) The GC/ARCH/owner then proceed with a change order or construction change directive (outlined in section 7 of the A201) .
