A Subcontractor Agreement or Subcontract Agreement

lets a contractor to hire a third party to perform part of the work.This

sub-contractor agreement is usually employed after a Contractor has

already agreed to a contract with someone else. A subcontractor

(or "sub") is the individual or business organisation that promises to

accept a portion or all of the responsibilities of someone else's

original contract. The subcontractor is employed by a general contractor

to execute specified work as a piece of the broad project. The sub

contract agreement by and large allows for a specialized portion of a

contracted job.Subcontractor Agreements are a very routine kind

of construction agreement. It is critical for both companies to have a

written legal contract which outlines the scope of work, determines fees

and payment, and leaves remedy for non-payment.Contractors employ

sub contractors in order to trim costs or to minimize project risks. This

way the customer gets better service than would have been supplied by the

contractor, with less risk. Many subcontractors are extremely practiced

specialists, and frequently will perform with only a single buidling

contractor company. Subcontract Agreements provide contractors improved

subcontractor management tools.

Before agreeing to a Subcontractor Agreement, the parties need to make

certaina few decisions and take some specific actions. There are a few

great guidelines to help contractors get the most out of employing a

subcontractor.To start with, you will need to define the range of

the work you will need to have the subcontractor accomplish. For

instance, if the job requires drywall to be installed and then tiled, you

will need two separate subcontractors. Every task requires its own

individual agreement. Of course you could have the same sub do both jobs,

but you will need a separate subcontractor contract to specifically lay

out each job.Second, create a thorough job description. Include

drawings as needed and a thorough listing of the work to be completed.

The more complete the description, the fewer the problems.Get as as

many bids as you cangather. Get hold of subs you already know and work

with, or advertise, or both. Make sure you give each likely subcontractor

a copy of the detailed job description plus drawings you created. In that

way they can give you their truly best bid.Getting The Right

Subcontractor Pick your subcontractor on the quality of his work,

not just price alone. If you choose a subcontracting company that does

below-standard work, you won't be getting such a good deal after all.

Follow up on references. Actually call up the subcontractor's clients and

ask them not only about their general satisfaction, but about specificsas

well. Ask to see a valid insurance certificate. Construction carries

considerable risk. The sub must be properly covered. The sub's insurer

should be able to provide a copy of the policy. You can give

improved service and add value by using subs. A solid Subcontractor

Agreement will ensure that both you and your sub are properly

protected.-----sub contractor agreement
