Subs
Argue GC Can't Change Legal Rules on T&M Payments
ALEXANDRIA, VA. - When a construction subcontractor
agrees to perform work on a time-and-material basis, it makes a promise

invoices for those, including an agreed-upon mark-up, as the job
progresses, the American Subcontractors Association, based here, points

"wasteful."
