Paying subs

3801 Views 28 Replies 18 Participants Last post by  Calidecks
Ok, I'm new to this and I am swamped with paperwork, some of my subs have finished their jobs and submitted their invoice; however, I'm not sure how to send the Payment, just a check to their billing address? I called and asked for an account to make the transfer, but I'm not sure what's the standard when paying subs. Help?!

I'd use a check....nice hard copy accompaning the lien releases.

(My bank still returns my checks... but even if they don't you can usually print them easily.)

Yeah, just send a cheque to the business address. Some may want to drive out and pick it up but unless they ask, just mail it
Usually I try to be on the job when they finish so I just give them a check then. If I'm not ill send it or they can pick it up. What ever they want

excellent point blacktop!
As long as I have a good working relationship with a builder as soon as I am done with the job they get a invoice faxed to them and they send me a check. Some jobs require a lien release that gets mailed ,faxed or I go pick up check and sign release.

I don't mind waiting....Not that big A deal. So long as I know the deal!!:laughing:
Seriously, just ask them how they want it handled------I usually hand it to them in person---and get those lien waivers---

Almost no one here uses a fax anymore. My painter wanted to fax me an invoice the other day. I haven't had a fax hooked up in over 5 years. Email is king.

I had to run a phone cord from my kitchen to the office the other day to fax some stuff to my insurance. That was my one fax for the year.

With email & a scanner faxes are pretty much obsolete.
Thank you all for the replies. It's helped me a lot!!!
If you really have to send or receive a fax and don't have a fax machine try a service like pamfax.

Guess I am just behind times here :laughing: Builders I do work for all have them yet too. :thumbsup: We still even have horses and buggies here. Circle the wagons at night. Think me might even still pump sunlight in too , although not sure on that one. :jester:

Don't forget to stoke the fire at bedtime.
