A New Jersey subcontractor agreement establishes the terms of a job between a contractor and a subcontractor.
It covers details including the payment amount and method, insurance, warranties, liability, dispute resolution, and other essential clauses like who provides materials for the job. A subcontractor agreement helps prevent conflicts and protects both parties from legal risks.
Subcontractor Definition
“‘Subcontractor’ means any person providing work or services in connection with the improvement of real property pursuant to a contract with a contractor or pursuant to a contract with a subcontractor in direct privity of contract with a contractor.”
To whom is a New Jersey subcontractor obligated?
The subcontractor’s obligation is to the general contractor, not the property owner. However, a subcontractor can file a lien on the property for unpaid work or materials under the New Jersey Construction Lien Law, N.J.S.A. 2A:44A-1 et seq. This law specifies the rules and procedures for filing, enforcing, discharging, or waiving liens.
