An Arizona Subcontractor Agreement outlines the task details between a contractor and hired workers, subcontractors, who are not employees but rather additional resources to complete a job.
yoThe agreement documents job requirements and important information, such as] the names of the individuals and companies involved, the payment terms, the scope of the job, and the delivery terms. Once signed, it is legally binding and protects both parties.
Typically, the contract allows the subcontractor to receive payment when their work is complete rather than waiting for the entire project to finish.
A general contractor is the head of a construction or building project, and a subcontractor is someone the general contractor hires to perform a specific task.
In Arizona, subcontractors typically perform specialties like drywall, concrete, or plumbing work that requires a license or special training.
