A Massachusetts subcontractor agreement is used by a contractor to appoint a subcontractor to complete part of a larger project. Hiring a subcontractor can be highly beneficial as they offer an advanced set of skills dedicated to the performance of a singular field. Through this process, the primary contractor can prevent issues which can arise when a service is performed by someone less trained in a particular discipline. Using the skills of a subcontractor may also be needed to simply expedite the completion time of a project. This agreement should be drafted to outline the operating terms and other details relevant to the contractor-subcontractor relationship.
