How tough is your subcontract?

Answer eight questions from memory - about the contract you're on now, or the last one you signed - and see how it scores against 59 real Australian subcontracts in the Australian Subcontract Index. Can't remember an answer? That tells you something too.

1. How many days until you're paid, as drafted?
2. How long do you get to give notice of a delay or variation claim?
3. If notice is late, what happens to the claim?
4. Are your liquidated damages capped?
5. Must the builder give notice before deducting money (set-off)?
6. How much retention is held?
7. What releases your retention?
8. Can the builder end the job for convenience (no breach needed)?
