How a Construction Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Subcontractor Agreement in California

In 2022, a business in California posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a subcontractor agreement for a residential construction project. The client required a comprehensive contract that could be applied to various trades involved in the home-building process, as they were preparing to hire subcontractors to support their construction efforts. This agreement was crucial for managing the relationships and expectations with the various contractors involved. As a result, the client received three proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $695 to $1,500, all submitted to meet the client’s requested deadline of less than one week.
