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

In 2023, a business in Montana sought assistance in drafting a subcontractor agreement as they were engaged as subcontractors for a larger project. The client aimed to ensure that the contract included a detailed scope of work, stipulated payment terms aligned with the accepted estimate, and provisions addressing potential changes in material costs. Additionally, they wanted to incorporate a clause that would allow them to halt production if payment was not made in a timely manner for completed work. As a result, the client received six proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $450 to $1,200, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of less than a week.
