Subcontractor Agreement

SUBCONTRACTOR AGREEMENT CONTRACT

Agreement Introduction

This Subcontractor Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into as of [contract_date], stated at the bottom of this agreement, by and between:

Main Contractor:
Lewbuild Ltd, having its principal place of business at 24 Lutton Grove, Peterborough, England, PE3 7DY (“Main Contractor”),

and

Subcontractor:
[subcontractor_name], having its principal place of business at [subcontractor_address] (“Subcontractor”) as stated at the bottom of this agreement.

Collectively referred to as “the Parties” and individually as a “Party.”

 

Purpose and Intent

This Agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which the Subcontractor agrees to provide certain services, labor, materials, and/or equipment in connection with the project(s) managed by the Main Contractor.

 

The intent of this Agreement is to define the scope of the Subcontractor’s responsibilities, ensure compliance with applicable standards and regulations, and outline the rights, obligations, and liabilities of both Parties in the performance of the work.

 

Nature of the Relationship

The Subcontractor is engaged as an independent contractor in business on their own account, to provide the Services described in this Agreement and any Project Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement creates a relationship of employer and employee, partnership, joint venture, or agency between the Parties. Subject to the applicable Project Agreement and the Subcontractor’s obligations under this Agreement, the Subcontractor determines how the Services are delivered. The Subcontractor is not entitled to any benefit associated with employment, including but not limited to holiday pay, sick pay, pension auto-enrolment, or redundancy payments, and is responsible for their own tax and National Insurance obligations, subject to the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) where applicable (see Payment Terms).

 

Right of Substitution

Subject to Lewbuild’s prior written approval (not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed), the Subcontractor may engage another suitably qualified, insured, and vetted individual or business to perform the Services in their place. Approval will be assessed against the same qualification, insurance, and compliance standards required of the Subcontractor under this Agreement, and may be withheld where a proposed substitute does not meet those standards. The Subcontractor remains responsible for the performance of, and for payment to, any approved substitute.

 

No Exclusivity

This Agreement does not require the Subcontractor to work exclusively for Lewbuild. The Subcontractor is free to provide services to other clients, provided this does not create a conflict of interest with an active Project Agreement and does not compromise the Subcontractor’s ability to deliver the Services.

General Terms

Before commencement of work, Subcontractors must register for an account and complete

 

Lewbuild’s onboarding process:

• Account Registration: https://lewbuild.co.uk/account/
• Subcontractor Agreement Form (document submission)
• Subcontractor Induction Online Course

 

The onboarding form requires the following, submitted via file upload:

• Full Name, Address, Date of Birth (where the Subcontractor is an individual/sole trader), Email & Phone Number
• Valid Proof of Identity (Photo of passport or driver’s license)
• Proof of Address (Utility bill, bank statement, or similar)
• Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR), VAT registration number (if applicable), and Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) registration status
• CSCS Card Number and proof of CSCS Card (Photograph or scanned copy)
• Proof of Driving License (if driving duties are applicable)
• Public Liability Insurance Certificate, and Employers’ Liability Insurance Certificate where the Subcontractor has their own employees (PDF of policy document or equivalent)
• Bank or Payment Details (for invoicing and payment)

This information will also be used to verify the Subcontractor’s CIS registration status with HMRC (see Payment Terms).

Verification and Approval
All submitted documentation will be subject to review. The subcontractor may not commence work until all required documents have been verified and approved by the Main Contractor.

Ongoing Compliance
Subcontractors must ensure that all submitted documents remain valid for the duration of their engagement. It is the subcontractor’s responsibility to notify the Main Contractor of any changes or renewals.

Failure to Submit or Update Documents
Failure to provide the required documentation or to keep it up-to-date may result in suspension of work, withholding of payments, or termination of the agreement.

Confidentiality of Submitted Information
All documentation and personal information submitted will be handled in accordance with data protection and privacy laws and will be used solely for verification and administrative purposes.

Project Terms

Engagement with Project Management Systems
Subcontractors are required to engage with the Main Contractor’s designated project management systems and digital platforms throughout the duration of each project. This includes accessing, updating, and maintaining task-related data as reasonably required for project coordination.

The designated project management portal can be accessed here:

https://lewbuild.co.uk/employees/project-manager/

Administrative Processes
Subcontractors are expected to follow Lewbuild’s reasonable administrative processes as required, including those relating to site attendance recording, health and safety, and equipment handling, as set out in Lewbuild’s Administrative Procedures Guide (provided separately and updated by Lewbuild from time to time). 

 

The Administrative Procedures Guide is provided for operational guidance; it does not form part of this Agreement, and nothing in it requires the Subcontractor to be present on site at fixed hours, except as reasonably necessary to deliver the Services under the applicable Project Agreement.

Communication Responsibilities
Subcontractors must respond to communications (e.g., emails, messages, system notifications) from project managers and coordinators in a timely and professional manner.

Reasonable expectations for response times will be communicated and must be adhered to unless prior notice is given.

 

Progress Updates and Reporting
Regular updates must be provided to project managers, particularly at key stages or milestones.

Subcontractors must actively update the completion status of assigned tasks or stages via the project management platform when prompted.

 

Site Documentation Requirements
Pre-Start Evidence Photography: Subcontractors must capture and document pre-start conditions of the work site or assigned tasks.

 

Post-Completion Evidence Photography: Clear photos of completed works must be taken to document outcomes and verify task completion.

 

All photos must be uploaded to the designated cloud storage folders associated with the specific project (as instructed by the Main Contractor).

 

Submission of Expenditures and Receipts
All project-related expenditures must be submitted promptly using the approved form at: https://lewbuild.co.uk/employees/expenses/

 

Original receipts and itemized breakdowns must be provided to ensure approval and reimbursement.

 

Failure to Comply
Failure to fulfill the above project-specific obligations may result in payment delays, non-approval of expenses, or disciplinary action including removal from current or future projects.

 

Per-Project Contractual Commitment

In addition to this overarching Subcontractor Agreement, the Subcontractor shall be required to enter into a Project Agreement Contract for each individual project they are assigned to. This project-specific contract will outline detailed scope, timelines, deliverables, and any special conditions applicable to that particular assignment.

 

Execution of the Project Agreement is a mandatory condition of participation in any project. The Subcontractor’s engagement on a project will not commence until the relevant Project Agreement has been duly signed and returned.

 

All obligations and provisions set forth in this Subcontractor Agreement shall continue to apply to each project undertaken, and shall be supplemented, not replaced, by the individual Project Agreement.

 

In the event of any inconsistency between this Subcontractor Agreement and a Project Agreement, the terms of the Project Agreement shall prevail only where explicitly stated.

Site Rules

Site Induction Requirements
All subcontractors may be required to complete a site-specific induction before commencing work. The induction will cover health and safety procedures, emergency protocols, and specific site requirements.

 

Site Attendance
Subcontractors are expected to follow Lewbuild’s reasonable administrative processes for recording attendance on site, in accordance with the Administrative Procedures Guide, for health, safety, and security purposes.

 

Permitted Working Hours
Work may be required to be carried out only during a site’s approved working hours, as communicated by the Main Contractor or site manager. Overtime or out-of-hours work requires prior written approval.

 

PPE and Safety Compliance
The appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) must be worn at all times in accordance with site safety policies. Failure to wear required PPE may result in removal from site.

 

Restricted Access and Zone Compliance
Subcontractors must remain within authorized work areas. Entry to restricted or controlled zones is prohibited unless permission is granted by site supervision.

 

Onsite Speed Limits
All vehicle movements on site must comply with posted speed limits and traffic management plans. Unsafe driving or speeding may result in access being revoked.

 

Emergency Evacuation and Response Protocols
Subcontractors must familiarize themselves with the site’s emergency procedures, including evacuation routes, muster points, and roles during an emergency event.

 

Conduct and Behavior Expectations
Professional conduct is expected at all times. Abusive language, harassment, bullying, or unsafe behavior will not be tolerated and may lead to removal from site and termination of engagement.

 

Clean-Up and Housekeeping
Subcontractors are responsible for maintaining cleanliness in their work areas. All waste, debris, and tools must be properly cleared at the end of each workday.

 

Zero-Tolerance Drug & Alcohol Policy
We operate a strict zero-tolerance policy regarding drugs and alcohol. Any individual found under the influence or in possession of illegal substances will be immediately removed from site and reported.

 

Removal from Site and Consequential Liability

If a Subcontractor is removed or barred from a worksite—whether by the Main Contractor, the site owner, the client, or any third-party principal—due to conduct, non-compliance, or failure to adhere to site rules, contractual terms, safety requirements, or professional standards, the Subcontractor shall be held liable for all resulting losses and damages incurred by the Main Contractor.

These may include, but are not limited to:

 

• Loss of Earnings: Any direct or indirect income lost due to disruption or inability to complete contractual obligations.
• Reputational Damage: Detriment to the Main Contractor’s reputation with clients, third parties, or regulatory bodies.
• Loss of Current or Future Contracts: Termination, suspension, or non-renewal of existing or future project agreements.
• Costs of Replacement: Any expenses related to sourcing, onboarding, or mobilizing a replacement subcontractor.
• Delay Penalties or Liquidated Damages: Penalties levied by clients or site controllers due to project delays arising from the Subcontractor’s actions.
• Legal or Administrative Costs: Any legal fees, administrative expenses, or fines that result from the incident.

The Main Contractor reserves the right to recover such damages via deductions from outstanding payments or by invoicing the Subcontractor directly. This clause is in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights the Main Contractor may have under this Agreement or under law.

Customer Engagement Rules

Uniform and Clear Identification
All subcontractors must wear appropriate uniforms or workwear and carry visible identification confirming their status as an independent subcontractor, rather than a Lewbuild employee. This helps maintain a professional appearance and ensures clear recognition by clients and site personnel.

Professionalism Onsite
Subcontractors are expected to conduct themselves with the highest level of professionalism while on site. This includes courteous behavior, respect for clients, coworkers, and other trades, and compliance with all site protocols.

 

No Direct Client Communication Without Approval
Subcontractors must not engage in direct communication with clients regarding project matters unless specifically authorized by the Main Contractor. All queries or issues must be relayed through the designated project manager or supervisor.

 

Prohibition of Self-Promotion or Solicitation
Subcontractors are strictly prohibited from soliciting additional work, promoting their own services, or distributing personal or business marketing materials while on a Main Contractor’s site or project.

 

Confidentiality and Information Control
Any information relating to the client, project, or Main Contractor that is obtained through the course of the subcontractor’s work must be treated as confidential. Subcontractors must not share, disclose, or misuse confidential information without prior written consent.

Terms for Corrections

Right to Remedy Own Work
Subcontractors shall be given the first opportunity to correct any defects or non-compliant work they have carried out, provided they are willing and able to do so within the required timeframe.

 

Defect Notification Format
Defects or issues will be formally communicated to the subcontractor in writing, detailing the nature of the defect, the required corrective action, and the timeframe for rectification. Notifications may include photographic evidence or site reports where applicable.

 

Rectification Period
Subcontractors must complete all corrective works within the specified rectification period stated in the defect notice. If no specific period is stated, a reasonable timeframe will be determined based on the nature and urgency of the issue.

 

Access and Availability for Rework
Subcontractors are required to make themselves or their representatives available to carry out rectification work as needed. They must coordinate access to the site and ensure that rework does not cause disruption to other trades or site operations.

 

Refusal to Rectify and Back Charge Rights
If a subcontractor refuses, fails, or is unable to rectify the defect within the agreed timeframe, the Main Contractor reserves the right to carry out the work themselves or engage a third party to do so. All associated costs will be back charged to the subcontractor, and may be deducted from outstanding payments.

 

Pattern of Defects as Breach of Contract
A recurring pattern of defects, repeated quality issues, or consistent failure to meet project standards may be considered a material breach of contract. In such cases, the Main Contractor reserves the right to terminate the subcontractor’s engagement and seek damages for any resulting losses.

 

Subcontractor Liability for Defective Work

If the Subcontractor fails to perform work in accordance with the required standards, specifications, or contractual obligations, and such failure necessitates correction or rework by the Main Contractor or a third party, the Subcontractor shall be held liable for all associated costs and losses incurred by the Main Contractor. 

 

These may include, but are not limited to:

• Labour, materials, and equipment costs related to the corrective work;
• Supervision, project management, or coordination overhead;
• Site access, re-mobilisation, or delay costs;
• Administrative and inspection costs;
• Any consequential damages, including penalties from clients or loss of profit.

The Main Contractor shall have the right to recover such costs through one or more of the following means:

• Deduction from any unpaid amounts due to the Subcontractor;
• Withholding of future payments until full recovery;
• Issuance of an invoice to the Subcontractor for the amount recoverable;
• Legal recovery or debt collection procedures if necessary.

This clause applies regardless of whether the Subcontractor was offered the opportunity to rectify the work but failed to do so, refused, or was otherwise unavailable.

Equipment Terms

Ownership and Responsibility for Equipment
All equipment, tools, and machinery provided by the Subcontractor remain their property and are their sole responsibility unless otherwise agreed in writing. Any equipment provided by the Main Contractor must be used only for its intended purpose and with care.

 

Equipment Issue and Return Process
Where Lewbuild issues equipment to the Subcontractor for use on a project, the Subcontractor shall follow Lewbuild’s equipment issue and return process, including recording the condition of equipment at issue and return, as set out in the Administrative Procedures Guide.

 

Secure Storage of Tools and Equipment
Subcontractors are responsible for the safe and secure storage of their own tools and equipment on site. The Main Contractor accepts no liability for loss or damage to any subcontractor property left unsecured or unattended.

Operator Licensing and Training
All personnel operating machinery or specialized equipment must hold valid licenses and certifications as required by law and site policy. Subcontractors must ensure their workers are trained and competent to operate all equipment used on site.

 

No Equipment Sharing Without Approval
Subcontractor equipment must not be loaned, shared, or operated by others on site without prior written approval from the Main Contractor or site supervisor.

 

Maintenance and Operational Safety
All equipment used on site must be properly maintained and in safe working order. Subcontractors are responsible for ensuring regular servicing, safety checks, and appropriate repairs are carried out as needed.

 

Testing and Tagging Requirements
All electrical equipment must comply with current testing and tagging regulations. Subcontractors must ensure all items brought on site are tested, tagged, and compliant with site and legal standards.

 

Liability for Damaged, Lost or Stolen Equipment
Subcontractors bear full responsibility for any of their equipment lost, stolen, or damaged while on site. If the loss or damage impacts project progress or results in additional costs to the Main Contractor, the Subcontractor may be held liable for related expenses.

 

Additionally, if any equipment owned by the Main Contractor is lost, stolen, or damaged while under the care or control of the Subcontractor, the Subcontractor will be responsible for all associated repair or replacement costs.

Vehicle Terms

Vehicle Insurances
All vehicles used on site, whether owned by the Subcontractor or the Main Contractor, must be fully insured in accordance with relevant laws and project requirements. Subcontractors are responsible for maintaining valid insurance coverage for their own vehicles. The Main Contractor will maintain insurance for vehicles they own. Proof of insurance must be provided upon request.

 

Vehicle Condition and Maintenance
Subcontractors are responsible for ensuring that their vehicles are maintained in a safe, roadworthy condition, complying with all legal and project-specific standards. The Main Contractor ensures that their vehicles are similarly maintained. Regular inspections and servicing schedules must be adhered to by both parties.

 

Vehicle Breakdown Cover
Subcontractors must arrange and maintain appropriate breakdown cover for their vehicles used on site. The Main Contractor will provide breakdown cover for vehicles they own. Prompt reporting of any breakdowns that affect project operations is required.

 

Designated Parking
Vehicles must be parked only in designated areas specified by the Main Contractor. Subcontractors must ensure their drivers comply with parking rules to avoid site congestion or safety hazards. The Main Contractor will manage parking arrangements for their own vehicles.

 

Vehicle Usage Terms
Vehicles are to be used solely for project-related activities unless otherwise authorized. Subcontractors are responsible for ensuring their vehicles are operated by qualified and authorized personnel. The Main Contractor will similarly manage the use of their vehicles.

 

Environmental Compliance (Leaks/Idling)
All vehicles must comply with environmental standards regarding emissions, idling time, and fluid leaks. Subcontractors must promptly address any issues with their vehicles to prevent environmental harm. The Main Contractor will enforce the same standards for their vehicles and expect subcontractors to report any non-compliance observed.

 

Fuel Allowances & Payments
Fuel costs for Subcontractor-owned vehicles are the responsibility of the Subcontractor unless otherwise agreed in the contract. The Main Contractor will cover fuel expenses for their own vehicles. Proper fuel records and receipts may be required for reimbursement or auditing purposes.

 

Liability for Damaged, Lost or Stolen Vehicles
Subcontractors are responsible for any damage, loss, or theft of their vehicles while on site. If such incidents cause project delays or additional costs, subcontractors may be held liable for related expenses.

 

Likewise, if a Main Contractor-owned vehicle is damaged, lost, or stolen while under the control or care of the Subcontractor, the Subcontractor will be responsible for all repair or replacement costs incurred by the Main Contractor.

Dispute Resolution

Notice of Dispute and Written Submission
Any party identifying a dispute related to the contract or project must provide written notice to the other party within 7 days of becoming aware of the issue. The notice must include a clear description of the dispute, relevant facts, and any supporting documentation.

Informal Negotiation Requirement
Upon receipt of the dispute notice, both parties agree to engage in informal negotiations in good faith to resolve the matter promptly. This negotiation period shall last no longer than 30 days unless mutually agreed otherwise.

 

Management Review
If a dispute is not resolved through informal negotiation, either Party may request that senior representatives of each Party review the matter before the dispute is escalated to mediation.

 

Escalation to Mediation
If the dispute cannot be resolved through informal negotiation, the parties will escalate the matter to mediation. A mutually agreed mediator shall be appointed within 60 days after the negotiation period expires. Both parties agree to participate in mediation in good faith with the objective of reaching a mutually acceptable solution.

 

Final Binding Resolution (Arbitration or Litigation)
If mediation fails to resolve the dispute, the parties agree that the dispute will be finally resolved by arbitration or litigation according to the rules agreed upon in the contract. The decision of the arbitrator or court shall be final and binding on both parties.

 

Continued Performance During Dispute
Notwithstanding the existence of a dispute, both parties shall continue to perform their contractual obligations without delay, except for the disputed matters under negotiation or resolution. This ensures ongoing project progress is maintained to the greatest extent possible.

Payment Terms

Invoicing
The Subcontractor shall submit invoices for Services performed by email to accounts@lewbuild.co.uk. Invoices must include the Subcontractor’s business name and address, VAT/company registration details (where applicable), bank details, a unique invoice number, and the project or Project Agreement to which the invoice relates. The Subcontractor may invoice at a frequency appropriate to the engagement (for example, weekly, fortnightly, or on completion of agreed milestones), as set out in the applicable Project Agreement.

 

Submission of Expenses
Expense claims are separate from invoices for Services and must be submitted using Lewbuild’s designated expenses form at https://lewbuild.co.uk/employees/expenses/, together with an image of the original receipt.

Tax Responsibilities
Each Party is responsible for their own tax obligations arising from payments under this Agreement. Where the Construction Industry Scheme (CIS) applies, Lewbuild will verify the Subcontractor’s CIS registration status with HMRC and apply the appropriate deduction (or pay gross, where the Subcontractor holds verified gross payment status) from the labour element of approved invoices. The Subcontractor is responsible for their own VAT registration and reporting obligations (where applicable) and for providing a valid UTR at onboarding.

In case of conflict, the priority of documents shall be:

1. Subcontractor Agreement.
2. Project Agreement.
