An Oklahoma subcontractor agreement outlines the working relationship between contractors and subcontractors. It provides details about the scope of the work on a project, subcontractor requirements (like insurance), when subcontracted work begins and ends, and how and when the contractor will pay the subcontractor.
Sometimes when a contractor accepts a job to improve a piece of real property, they do so without all the skills, equipment, or other resources necessary to complete everything on their own. In this case, the general contractor may find someone, a subcontractor, who can fill trade gaps.
