is the best. Sometimes it pays to let the client know that you are over your head. Honesty in the matter will improve your reputation with the client.

However, if you let them know why you are bringing in the sub-contractor then they are more likely to contract with you again since they know that if the project covers areas out of your expertise, you will find someone who can handle those areas.
