A 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 subcontractor for termite treatment on a Hollywood Florida home put a lien on the house when the contractor was paid in full but will not pay the subcontractor?

Not likely. There is no privity of contract between the homeowner and the subcontractor. The homeowner had an agreement with the general contractor, and that's the only person they have a duty to pay. The subcontractor can only pursue payment from the general contractor - to put a lien on the home would be to punish an innocent party - the homeowner. This is between the subcontractor and the general contractor, and there's no reason to bring the homeowner into this, since the homeowner doesn't owe the subcontractor anything.


Why is a subcontract or subcontractor called subk?

Because in the government, a CO stands for a Commanding Officer. They used KO (instead of CO because of confusion) for a Contracting Officer. That is why SubK stands for Subcontract Agreement.


What insurance obligations does a contractor have to his subcontractors?

In theory when a PRIME contractor hires a SUBCONTRACTOR, and the SUBCONTRACTOR causes a loss, damage, injury, etc., then the SUBCONTRACTOR's insurance should pay the expenses related to that loss. If the PRIME contractor causes the loss, then the PRIME contractor's insurance will pay for the loss. If the SUBCONTRACTOR does not have insurance (lapsed, fake certificates, etc.), then the PRIME contractor's insurance will have to pay for the loss even when caused by the SUBCONTRACTOR. In the real world, all parties get sued after a damage or injury loss. Later they sort out which party or parties were at fault. Most Prime-Contracts now contain language that makes the PRIME CONTRACTOR indemnify and holdharmless the owner, meaning pay for their costs also. Likewise, most SUB-CONTRACTS now contain a language that makes the SUBCONTRACTOR indemnify and holdharmless the other parties. These are important and tricky legal concepts and should not be taken causually. Proffessional advice is always recommended. Some insurance companies will try to deny coverage if the PRIME contractor did not have an "indemnity/holdharmless" agreement in the sub-contract.


as a subcontractor can the person i sub from deduct money from my last check for workers comp?

If you are paid a wage or a salary for temporary work, the employer must deduct ALL taxes, social security and workers comp. If you are a subcontractor paid on a 1099, (which means YOU will pay all the taxes, etc) then no deductions are taken from your compensation. So it depends on the agreement you have with the contractor. He cannot, however, just take out workers comp and nothing else.


A subcontracting landscaper damaged my car in the course of his work I am a renter in a condominium Who do I approach to cover my losses the subcontractor directly Property Management or Landlord?

These are the players: The Board, the Property Manager, the Vendor (landscape-subcontractor), the Unit Owner (landlord) and You. The association's board would prefer to deal with the landlord. The vendor (subcontractor) has an agreement with the board via the management company. Develop your case for damage -- descriptions, photos, and so forth, and present it to your landlord with a copy to the property manager. Volunteer to work directly with the property manager to affect payment for damage repair once your landlord has presented your case to the board.


Can a subcontractor be sued by the homeowner if he violated the mgl 93a?

It depends on who you hired. Typically you enter into a contract with a General Contractor. Your contractor then hires his own subcontrators in an agreement which you are not a party. The General Contrator is responsible for all the work performed whether by him or by a subcontrator he chose to do the work. It his job to supervise the work perdormed by his sub contrators. Your claim is against the General Contrator that you hired, not against the subcontractors that he hired as you have no agreement with that subcontrator and you have no way of knowing what the terms of the agreement between the General and the Sub was.


Service Agreement?

Get StartedThe Service Agreement documents the terms of the sale of services by one company (the "Service Provider") to another company or an individual (the "Service Recipient"). This document should not be used if the Service Provider is an individual. Work for Hire, Consulting Agreement, or Subcontractor Agreement documents can be used for that purpose. This document only deals with services purchased from a business, and therefore, does not address issues related to independent contractor status.The basic elements of an agreement to purchase services are:Identification of the parties.A description of the services to be performed.The dates or scheduled dates for performance of the services.Any conditions or limitations placed on either of the parties or warranties related to the performance of services.Payment terms.


Agreement Construction Contract?

When it comes to contracts, many people think in layman terms. However, the problem with thinking this way is that the law clearly conflicts with many layman terms. For example, many people hold the assumption that a contract may only be written and can never be communicated in an oral fashion. This is simply erroneous. Likewise, for more complex concepts, such as promissory estoppel, people may also hold assumptions. This article will discuss in depth agreement construction contracts and how they differ from typical contracts. When creating construction contracts, it is important to first understand the structure of how such contracts are created. Typically there are three levels so to speak. One company, say A, has a major project that needs to be completed. The middle company, B, will submit a bid to A to manage and complete the project. If B wins, then A will pay B to complete the project. The middle company, B, will then typically go out and find smaller companies to do various smaller projects to complete the overarching projects. B then would award small contracts to C and other companies. To participate in this bidding process, C companies would submit bids to B for the project. The key point is that C would have to submit legitimate bids to B, in order to be considered for the project. Filing a bid with the intention to renegotiate later is never acceptable within the bidding process for an agreement construction contract. In a situation where a subcontractor submits a bid with intentions to renegotiate, a court will likely apply the doctrine of promissory estoppel to that situation. The court will likely rule that a subcontractor’s oral bid is an irrevocable offer, at least until the general contract has been awarded the prime contract. Courts typically apply the doctrine of promissory estoppel as a way to ensure the subcontractor does not raise its bid. One case in which courts applied the doctrine of promissory estoppel to a situation dealing with an agreement construction contract was Arango v. Success. In this case, a subcontractor submitted a bid for $34,000 and then later backed out. The subcontractor claimed the bid was less than it should have been. The court did not rule in favor of the subcontractor and forced the subcontractor to fulfill its original obligations. Overall, it is important to understand promissory estoppel can be applied to situations dealing with agreement construction contracts.
