FAQ

It is best to give notice in writing to the contractor that unless he comes back and finishes the work, you will terminate him for cause. After this, you can hire another contractor to complete the project (and fix the shoddy work) and you can recover these additional costs for the contractor who walked off the job.

The prime contractor is accountable to the project owner for the project's completion, which obviously includes the work done by subcontractors. Ultimately, subcontractors are responsible for their own mistakes, holding what's called direct liability.

A contractor who provides services in more than one special skill area must be licensed. Specialty contractors who provide only one special skill are not required to have a state license (except residential roofers).

Once you have obtained the names of several contractors, check with the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry, which is the State agency with the authority to license and regulate a substantial portion of the construction industry in Minnesota.

Specify governing law. Identify the working relationship. Clearly define the scope of work. Specify what benefits, if any, the contractor will receive. Assign intellectual property. Include confidentiality clauses. Include a termination clause.

To bid on federal construction contracts, you must apply for a profile on the System for Award Management (SAM). Once you've registered for this centralized online portal at SAM, you can use its search function to find federal construction bidding projects.

Minnesota's statute of repose prohibits suing a contractor for most construction defects after between 10-12 years after the home is substantially completed. First, the statute provides that a claim can be asserted only for causes of action that “accrue” during the 10 years after the home is substantially completed.

If you're trying to break into federal contracting, or you're looking for an easy win, look into religious services contracts. The federal government purchases religious services regularly, and these contracts are easier to win than you think. There are tons of religious opportunities there.

A contractor who provides services in more than one special skill area must be licensed. Specialty contractors who provide only one special skill are not required to have a state license (except residential roofers).
