Contractor Or Sub?
I gave a proposal for a job to a general contractor. He accepted my proposal. The contractor then told me I needed to make a contract for him to sign. Now, is it the contractor who is the one to make a contract approving and confirming in writing to what information I gave him in the proposal and other items that he may add on, that I agree to. I have never had this problem in all my years in the business.

Re: Contractor Or Sub?
ERAM, welcome to CT, good to have you, go to the intro page and tell the guys a little about yourself and your business, also complete your profile, as for your question, a sub sends me a estimate or a proposal for a job, if i like it, we both sign it, and off we go. GMOD.

Re: Contractor Or Sub?
welcome to the site ... as a GC, I write the contract for my sub to sign .. guess if I were the sub and a GC offered to let me write the contract my reply would be, "Heck yeah!"

Re: Contractor Or Sub?
How common is this? I have never been asked to write a contract for a sub they write them theselves.
Why would anyone let the other party set the terms. I don't ask the HO to write the contract for me. |

Re: Contractor Or Sub?
I have a subcontractor contract I'd be happy to share. Its 8 pages long so it will make your GC know you're serious. Its the one I use with my subs. Email me at sam@morganfinehomes.com if you want me to send a copy.

Re: Contractor Or Sub?
As a sub, always supply your own contracts. I use standard contracts from NEBS. As a businessman, always use your own contracts.

Re: Contractor Or Sub?
The GC may be testing your business skills with this. Write the contract! Write it fair and equitably! Make sure it is signed in RED ink. That way any judge will know if one is the original or a photocopy!

If you ever attempt to record a document with the county recorder and it is not signed in black ink, they will reject it. |

Re: Contractor Or Sub?
I've never written up a contract for a sub.
I can't imagine any plumber or electrician being too thrilled about that.... |
