Q: PA subcontractor setting modular homes in NJ? Need contract with contractor?
We are a subcontractor from PA setting modular homes in NJ. We are hired by the builder or manufacturer. We do not deal with the homeowner in any way. Is there a law in NJ stating that we need to have a contract with start/end dates and rescission clause? All my research shows the contractor should have a subcontractor agreement to protect them but I cannot find anything pertaining to contracts that we would create. We do not do any home improvements and that is the only contract I have found. Thanks.
Edit: I am not asking about what I can or cannot do. I am very familiar with the job. I am just asking if there is such a thing as a contract that the subcontractor has the contractor sign. I have only seen subcontractor agreements that the contractor has us sign once a year.
A: You need to meet with a lawyer and have the lawyer review the laws with you and of course a lawyer will charge you for this. Not only do you have to worry about state laws but also local township ordinances on what you are allowed and not allowed to do.
