Suitable for a deal with a one man sub-contractor or a large company providing a specialised service. Makes clear the self employed status of the sub-contractor if a sole trader. Allows you to define the work to be done and make sure it gets done. Takes some of the risk out of using an unknown tradesman. Many useful provisions.
The construction sub-contract requires that you attach a specification of work. If you use the same sub-contractor for other projects in future, he will automatically be subject to this agreement. Comes with extensive notes explaining every item and leaving you simply to choose and use.
Key features
This construction sub-contract covers just those areas where you most need legal strength: limiting your liability if things go wrong, payment provisions, the specification, no posting bad publicity on social networks. Of course, with the wide Net Lawman experience of the real World, there are yet more helpful points too.

My biggest concern was the security of on-line payment to a company I hadn't dealt with before. I googled how to check if a site is safe & then checked the site and I'm pleased to say it's completely legit.
I have purchased the sub-contractor contract/agreement and it does exactly what it says on the tin - a really easy to understand and amend form covering everything I thought it should and some stuff I didn't even think of.
I have no hesitation in recommending this company and its products. fast, hassle free excellent service. Thank you.
