Seattle General Contractors – More than just nuts and bolts

Did you know contracts are just as important for the customer as they are for Seattle General Contractors?

Most people expect to sign a contract when hiring a Seattle General Contractor for construction services.  Most people also think that the contract is between you and the Seattle General Contractors you hired.  That much is true but what most people don’t realize is that the same contract ties you to the sub contractors that work on your project weather it be commercial or residential construction.

Seattle General Contractors should have agreements in place with building partners.

All Seattle General Contractors should have contracts or agreements in place with their sub contractors that protect their clients.  Without an agreement the door is left open for mayhem to ensue if something goes sideways on the project.

Customers that are hiring Seattle General Contractors should in addition to the standard reference check and compatibility concerns also inquire how the Seattle general contractors’ relationship is set up with its subs.  This is important because part of the Seattle General Contractors’ job is to manage the risk of your project.  In order to do this effectively controls need to be placed on the companies the Seattle General Contractor hires on your behalf.  These controls need to be memorialized in an agreement that in a worse case scenario can be defended in court.   Just like the contract you sign with the Seattle General Contractor illuminates and defines the working relationship between you and the Seattle General Contractors, the same is true for the agreement between the Contractor and its subs.
