6 provisions to review in every subcontractor agreement.
Kontractually checks these automatically against your playbook rules.
The three highest-risk areas: back-to-back flow-down (accepting head contract LD exposure on a small scope), Security of Payment Act compliance (missing claim deadlines forfeits statutory rights), and variation approval (verbal instructions that aren't documented lead to payment disputes). Kontractually checks all three against your playbook.
Yes. You can upload both documents separately and review each against the relevant playbook. For back-to-back analysis, reviewing the head contract first helps you understand what the subcontract is flowing down.
State Security of Payment Acts give subcontractors a statutory right to recover progress payments via adjudication. The Acts prescribe the form and timing of payment claims, payment schedule response periods (usually 10-15 business days), and adjudication application windows. Missing any of these timeframes forfeits your rights. Subcontract agreements sometimes attempt to modify these statutory timeframes - not always successfully.
Yes. While construction is the most common use case, professional services subcontracts (IT, consulting, engineering) can also be reviewed. Configure a playbook with the relevant rules for your industry.
Yes. Many head contractors use Kontractually to check their own subcontract templates for consistency and to pre-screen subcontracts before issuing them. This is particularly useful for large projects issuing 10-20 subcontract packages.
