Subcontractor Agreement?
Get StartedA Subcontractor Agreement is an agreement between a general contractor (the "General Contractor") and another party who has subcontracted to perform work and services for the General Contractor (the "Subcontractor"). The General Contractor is the party who will contract directly with the owner of the property on which the Subcontractor will be working. Frequently, the General Contractor has portions of the larger project that the General Contractor prefers not to do. Therefore, the General Contractor contracts those portions out to another party, the Subcontractor.If it is available, the Subcontractor may wish to review the Original Contract between the Owner and the General Contractor to be sure that there are no conflicting terms between it and the anticipated Subcontractor Agreement.This agreement allows the parties to describe which services and materials the Subcontractor will provide, specify the price for the work, and assign various rights and liabilities between the parties. Important provisions regarding indemnification, insurance, change orders, unforeseen conditions, defaults, the nature of the parties' relationship and miscellaneous concerns are also included.This agreement should be signed by both parties and becomes effective as of the date inserted at the beginning of the agreement.

Can a business who hires a company for contract work and then helps their employees it has hired go into business in direct competition on same job be held liable?
Depends on the Contract. Alot of subcontractor contracts prevent this. If the Prime contractor has received an estimate from a subcontractor and the subcontractor is working at the site or project under a estimate or purchase order then yes, the Prime contractor can be held liable for all monies under the contract if the subcontractor can prove that the employees were on their payroll and during this project the Prime contractor solicited Sub employees to become independent contractors.
What's the difference between a general contractor and a subcontractor?
A general contractor usually is responsible for the supplying of all material, labor, equipment, (engineering vehicles and tools) and services necessary for the construction of the project. To do this it is common for the general contractor to subcontract part of the work to other persons and companies that specialize in these types of work. These are called subcontractors. General contractors construct the project. Subcontractors supply the equipment/supplies. General contractors conducting work for government agencies are typically referred to as prime contractors. The responsibilities of a prime contractors working under a contract are essentially identical to those outlined above. In many cases, prime contractors will delegate portions of the contract work to subcontractors. ex. if i do home remodeling,baths, kitchens,windows but u also need a concrete patio and i dont do that, i would hire a person who does concrete.he is the subcontractor.

A contractor and his subcontractor are working the same job and the sub damages the contractors equipment whos insurance pays?
The contractor should make a claim upon the sub-contractors insurance and/or bond.

What does Additional insured mean with regard to general liability?
You are the insured. Your landlord or partner or banker may be the additional insured. They have a financial interest in or liability at stake with whatever it is you are insuring. It does not cost you more to name an additional insured. Why didn't you aks your agent this question? Can the person I was working for withold money owed to me because I did not put him under additionaly insured? Not legally unless it was contractually noted. If you did not have a loss you can just add the additional insured now. In a contractor/subcontractor relationship the contractor may request the subcontractor to name him "additional insured". In the event that a liability issue arises and is caused by the work of the subcontracor, the subcontractor's insurance will not only cover any claims made against the sub, but will also provide claims made against the contractor in regards to the sub's negligence. Many insurance companies DO charge a flat fee or a percentage based fee to name an additional insured.
