This Construction Subcontract template is designed for use in Canadian construction projects where a main contractor needs to delegate specific portions of work to specialized subcontractors. The document incorporates requirements from relevant Canadian federal and provincial legislation, including Construction Acts, prompt payment legislation, and workplace safety regulations. It is particularly useful for complex construction projects requiring specialized work such as electrical, plumbing, HVAC, or structural elements. The agreement includes comprehensive provisions for scope definition, payment terms, quality standards, safety requirements, and risk allocation, while ensuring compliance with Canadian construction industry practices and legal requirements. This template should be customized based on the specific province of operation, project requirements, and the nature of the subcontracted work.
