Subcontractor Agreements – The Benefits of Subcontractor Agreements
A Subcontractor Agreement or Subcontract Agreement is a valid document letting a Contractor to engage another contractor (“sub”) to do a portion of the process the Contractor originally agreed to perform. This sub-contractor agreement is normally abused after a Contractor has already signed a contract with someone else.
A subcontractor (or “sub”) is the person or business organisation that promises to undertake a portion or all of the obligations of someone else’s original contract. The subcontractor is employed by a general contractor to execute specified work as a piece of the general job. The sub contract agreement in general allows for a specified portion of a contracted job.
Subcontractor Agreements are a very general kind of building agreement. It is critical for both companies to make a well written legal agreement which lays out the work specifics, defines fees and payment, and leaves remedy for non-payment.
Contractors engage sub contractors in order to trim costs and/or to minimize project risks. Many subcontractors are highly expert specialists, and many times will perform with only a single buidling contractor company. Subcontract Agreements allow contractors more practical subcontractor management tools.
Before participating in a Subcontractor Agreement, you need to make some decisions and take some particular actions. There are a few quality guidelines to help general contractors get the most from taking on a subcontractor.
To start with, you need to define the range of the job you will want to have the subcontractor complete. For example, if the job requires drywall to be installed and then tiled, you need two subcontractors. Every task requires its own separate agreement. You can always have the same sub execute both jobs, but you will need a separate subcontractor contract to define each job.
Create a thorough job description. Include drawings and a complete list of the work to be accomplished. The more complete you are with this description, the less likely there will be mistakes or other problems.
Get as as many bids as you can. Contact subs you already know and work with, or you can advertise, or both. Make sure you give each prospective subcontractor a copy of the detailed job description plus worksheets you created. This way they can give you their truly best bid.
Getting The Right Sub Contractor
Be sure you choose your subcontractor on the quality of his work, not just price alone. If you select a subcontracting company that does inferior work, you won’t be getting such a great deal after all. Do your proper due dilligence – get references and follow them up. Actually call up the subcontractor’s customers and ask them not only about their general satisfaction, but about specificsfor example, was the sub polite, did he clean up, did he finish on time, and so forth. Always ask to see a copy of the sub’s valid insurance certificate. The sub should be able to have his insurer provide you with a copy of his policy. Virtually every states require licenses for plumbers, electricians and so on.
