Safety and Compliance: Ensure the subcontractor is responsible for their safety and adheres to safety protocols, WHS laws and Australian construction standards, promoting a secure and law-abiding work environment.
 
Safeguards Your Business: The agreement makes the subcontractor liable for any damage they cause, claims by the client relating to their work and puts a limit on how much the subcontractor can sue you for if something goes wrong.
 
Termination: Need to terminate due to the contractor failing to comply with the agreement? You can engage a third party to finish the works and deduct this cost from any money owing to the subcontractor.
 
Client relationship: The agreement prohibits the subcontractor from taking your clients or employees for a set period during and after the agreement end.
