Tradesperson/General Contractor Agreement

Protect your projects with a clear written agreement when hiring tradespeople, fabricators, installers, or contractors on behalf of a client.

This customizable Microsoft Word template is based on the working agreement I use in my own interior design business when partnering with outside labor. It is designed to help you document the scope of work, payment terms, responsibilities, project expectations, and other important details before work begins.

Use it as a starting point when hiring professionals such as:

• Tile installers
• Drapery fabricators and installers
• Custom furniture makers
• Millwork and cabinetry professionals
• Electricians
• Plumbers
• General contractors
• Other tradespeople and specialty vendors

The file is delivered as an editable Microsoft Word document, so you can customize it for your business and each individual project. You can also upload and edit the document in Google Docs if you prefer.

A well-written agreement helps create clearer expectations from the beginning and gives you a more professional process when coordinating outside labor for your clients.

Please note: This template is provided for educational purposes and should be reviewed by your attorney to ensure it is appropriate for your business, services, and local requirements.
