Subcontract risks by trade
Every trade loses money in a different place. Pick yours for the clauses that cost it most, what to push for in the departures schedule, and the payment rules in your state.
AI risk report, not legal advice. The scanner gives general information about the risks in a document. It is not a lawyer, does not know your circumstances, and can be wrong. For decisions with legal consequences, get advice from a construction lawyer.
