General Contractor Subcontractor Agreement

The presentation of the subcontracting agreement contains a section on the definition of the payments that the subcontractor receives. Payments depend on the amount of work.

Subcontracting agreements can also be drawn up by contractors, subcontractors or architects. Regardless of the format or author of the agreement, the following general and typical provisions should be included in most subcontracts, in order to avoid any dispute over what the parties have wanted or intend to do. However, the rule in New York is not as clear if the two agreements are not fully in line with the integrated main contract. .
