The purpose of the manual is to clarify the relationship between a General Contractor and a Subcontractor. It is to set down guidelines on how each will perform on a ongoing basis, along with specifics for each job.
This package includes your new subcontractor manual and a number of forms and contracts that can be used to better define your working agreement with your sub or specialty contractors.
Remember as you proceed through this manual and customize it for your company that these are guidelines only and need to be modified for your particular needs. This manual should be a win-win document for you and your subs. The Subcontractor must make a profit on each job in order to stay in business. It is part of your responsibility to make sure that your subs are treated fairly by your own employees and company but also by the building or homeowner.
After you have read through this entire manual, you will need to customize it for your company use. To customize this booklet for your company, go to EDIT and then to FIND.

After customizing, the manual should be given to the subcontractor for review. When they are done, they should be asked to sign the first two documents in the forms section:
- Subcontractor Acknowledgement: This form is simply an acknowledgement of the basic business relationship.
- General Agreement to Provide Specialty Services to Company: This form creates the contract between the General Contractor and the Subcontractor.
The remaining forms are self-explanatory.

Phil –
Years ago when I made the switch from employees to subs, I purchased this sub manual. I used it as a guide when creating and setting expectations with subs, learning how to best manage 1099s vs W2s. I still refer to this manual, and have used much of it as a “copy and paste” in my 2-page sub agreement I have all subs sign now (policies, best building practices, expectations, and what motivates a sub the most). Completely invaluable purchase I’d highly suggest if you need to hire or currently utilize subs.
