A Maryland subcontractor agreement is a contract that guarantees work for a subcontractor and defines conditions under which their services must be executed. The agreement covers the subcontractor’s responsibilities including whether they are obligated to operate using their own equipment and materials. It also includes provisions that provide legal protection in situations where either the contractor or subcontractor fails to adhere to the terms established in the document. Once the agreement is made, the subcontractor will be required to satisfy their expected duties by the predetermined completion date.
