[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What did your contract with the design build firm say? Are they bonded?

Did it explicitly include the work the sub did in the price? [/quote]

Not OP but had a similar situation with an addition we did in Alexandria 6 years ago.

Contract very clearly included the scope of work performed by the sub. The draw (check) was made payable to the DB firm. It was cashed .They farmed the work out and stiffed the guy.

The sub is a decent guy and I hated seeing him get worked, but his beef is with the DB firm, not us. DB firm ignored all correspondance from everybody.

We were 98% done and walked away with their punch list still wide open. The DB firm failed to send us about $31,000 worth of invoices that we would have paid for if they actually sent them (caveats notwithstanding). Basically they dragged their feet on $2,000 of punch work and never got paid for $31,000. I'm a lawyer, and they knew it, so I'm guessing they stayed in their lane and either took the hit on the chin or factored the loss in the bid.[/quote]
