Estimating & Workflow
Subcontractor
A separate crew or company hired for part of the job, such as a gutter or drywall crew. Their work still belongs in the estimate, and their proof of insurance matters before they start. An unpaid sub can file a lien in most states, so get lien waivers as work is done.
