" That is, all phases of the construction may be done "by or in cooperation with" him/his company. We don't know if "the contractor" refers to an individual or to a contracting company or corporation. The contractor, or someone under his control and supervision, will supply and install the ducts during the construction phase.

  • Actually, it does specify a particular subcontractor: the one who has contracted to provide the deep foundation element , whatever that is.
  • That contractor or his company has full responsibility for directly supplying and installing the ducts, or seeing that they are supplied and installed.

It's a little confusing, because "the contractor" may be a general contractor who subcontracts various phases of the construction to other "[sub]contractors."
That is, all phases of the construction may be done "by or in cooperation with" him/his company.
We don't know if "the contractor" refers to an individual or to a contracting company or corporation.

Thanks,Avangi . Here I think the contrator may be the concrete rather than a organization or person
