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

In 2026, a business in Texas requested assistance with drafting a subcontractor agreement tailored to their construction projects. The client sought to review their current email contract to ensure it adequately protected their company’s interests and to clarify whether it needed to be signed before work commenced following contract award. This inquiry stemmed from a desire to establish clear terms and conditions that govern their agreements with subcontractors, along with specific payment terms and exclusions. As a result, the client received 11 proposals from qualified lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $500 to $2,200, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of over a week.
