A general contractor (GC) takes responsibility for the entire construction contract, pulls the building permits, and hires the roofing contractor, pumper, licensed electrician, finish carpenter, painter, and other trades. He is also responsible for paying them.
But when the payments fail to filter down to the various craftsmen, they can file mechanics' liens against the homeowner, forcing him to pay twice for the same work.
Put the Construction Contract in Writing
Like any other work for hire, a formal written contract spells out the issues and responsibilities of the individuals involved and protects both parties. The contact should be legally binding and address not only the work to be done and quality of building materials to use, but also the pay schedule.
