A New Mexico subcontractor agreement is a legal work agreement that occurs between the prime contractor of a project and a subcontractor. A subcontractor usually works within a specialty (such as masonry or painting) and is hired to complete a portion of the prime contractor’s project. In some instances, the subcontractor may be hired by another subcontractor who has been authorized to hire their own workers. The agreement must clearly describe how the subcontractor will be compensated and the date by which they will be expected to have completed their work.
