If the subcontractor is a domestic one (so not nominated or under the control of the Employer) the Contractor will not be entitled to an EOT as a subcontractor will be treated as the Contractor in the main contract.
For a good student or junior practitioner guide try evaluating Contract Claims by Davison and Mullen, http://eu.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1405159200.html
