An Illinois subcontractor agreement outlines the terms and conditions that govern an agreement between a contractor and a subcontractor they hire. The document should include payment terms, project delivery deadlines, job scope, names of both parties (individual or company), contact information, and work location. Once signed, the contract is legally binding.
