The ConsensusDOCS 725 - Agreement Between Subcontractor and Subsubcontractor is the only standard subsubcontract available. Rather than simply using a purchase order or trying to alter a subcontract, the ConsensusDOCS 725 was specifically designed to address the unique characteristics of subsubcontracting. This straightforward, six-page agreement provides an ideal base for the somewhat simpler subsubcontracting relationship. It includes essential provisions addressing issues such as safety, change orders, payment, indemnity and much more. It coordinates important flow-down clauses and incorporates similar terms to upstream agreements. The ConsensusDOCS 725 also contains flexible provisions for the incorporation of exhibits to address scope of work, schedule, insurance and other subjects.
While modified to address the special needs of subsubcontracting, the new subsubcontract document is still based upon the risk allocation philosophy found in the rest of the ConsensusDOCS family. The ConsensusDOCS subsubcontracting agreement, as well as every document in the ConsensusDOCS family, was developed through a collaborative effort of a team of professionals representing every part of the construction process, including designers, owners, contractors, subcontractors and surety professionals. ConsensusDOCS are the only standard contracts written by a coalition of 28 leading industry associations, including AGC.
All project stakeholders affected, directly or indirectly, by subsubcontracting practices would benefit in using the new ConsensusDOCS 725 Standard Subsubcontract Agreement.
