The Sub-Contractor Manual is designed to assist General Contractors by clarifying the working relationship between them and their subcontractors. The package includes an manual describing company policies, standards and payment procedures. After appropriately customizing for your company, this manual can be given to every subcontractor you work with, describing clearly your commitment to them and what you expect from their commitment to you. Forms are included: an acknowledgement of the policies and commitments outlined in the handbook, an overall working agreement, a proposal for specialty services, an agreement to meet the provisions of the Drug-Free Workplace Act of 1988 and a Change Order form, an Insurance Verification Form for use on each job, and a Potential Backcharge Notice.

The Subcontractor Manual is a word-processing document, making it easy to customize with your company name and specific policies. It is available as a download or on CD. If you wish, you can also order a sample printed manual for reference. (Some forms require the free Adobe Acrobat reader, download available at www.adobe.com)

By setting guidelines on how the General and Sub-contractor will perform their services, both parties know what to expect. The manual is a win-win document for both parties.
