FAQ
1. What is a subcontractor?
A subcontractor is a person or business engaged by a contractor to perform specific tasks or provide specialised services within a larger project. While the contractor oversees the overall job and maintains collaboration with the client, subcontractors are often brought in for their expertise or to augment the workforce. They can be individual professionals, such as plumbers or electricians, or large organisations. Subcontractors are responsible for their own documentation and expense management while working with minimal supervision, ensuring their work aligns with the contract standards. In the construction industry, there are three types of subcontractors: nominated subcontractors, chosen by the client to uphold cost and quality; domestic subcontractors, directly appointed by the main contractor; and named subcontractors, selected by the client when nominations are restricted. This structure enhances effective collaboration between contractors and subcontractors, ensuring high-quality results in every construction project.
2. What is a supplier?
A supplier is a crucial business partner that sources and provides essential goods, materials, or services necessary for subcontractors and other organisations to operate effectively. Suppliers can be individuals, companies, or organisations that lease or sell products, such as construction materials, equipment, or specialised services. By ensuring that subcontractors receive the right items at suitable prices, suppliers play a vital role in maintaining operational efficiency within the construction industry. In construction, effective collaboration between suppliers and subcontractors is key to ensuring that projects are completed on time and within budget.
3. Why is collaboration important in construction?
Collaboration is essential in construction, driving increased productivity, reduced risks, and greater profits. Every project involves a range of stakeholders, including contractors, subcontractors, and suppliers, who must collaborate effectively to achieve shared goals. Strong collaboration ensures that all parties are informed about progress and responsibilities, significantly enhancing the likelihood of meeting deadlines and staying within budget. By fostering open communication, teams can avoid misunderstandings, minimise waste, and boost overall morale. Effective collaboration also builds trust among subcontractors and suppliers, leading to improved cooperation and productivity on the job site. Additionally, collaboration is crucial for maintaining safety, allowing teams to quickly identify and address potential hazards. Ultimately, successful construction projects depend on robust collaboration among all involved and subcontractors, emphasising collective problem-solving and cooperation to create mutual benefits for contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and all stakeholders.

Sydney Contracting Engineers prioritises local companies to empower the workforce and enhance community impact. Local firms provide vital knowledge of building codes, helping us avoid costly errors, while their established relationships with suppliers lead to better pricing and tailored solutions. Proximity improves communication for quick issue resolution and smooth project coordination. Additionally, local firms are committed to quality and bring expertise in regional materials, ensuring durability and sustainability. This approach fosters economic growth and aligns our projects with community needs.

We believe in the power of collaboration. By joining our network, you will become part of a community where your contributions are valued and recognised, fostering a collaborative working environment.
13. What qualifications do I need to join the network?
In New South Wales, contractors and subcontractors must hold a valid license to perform residential building work valued over $5,000, including labor and materials. Different types of licenses are available based on the specific work required. A Subcontractor and contractor license permits individuals to contract and advertise for work, limited to the types specified on their license card. Additionally, an endorsed contractor license is granted to those who not only apply for a contractor license but also possess the necessary qualifications and experience to serve as a qualified supervisor.
14. What insurances are required for contractors and subcontractors?
Subcontractors are typically required to have specific insurances to ensure compliance and protection for all parties involved. The most essential insurance is public liability, which covers property damage and personal injury resulting from business activities, including legal costs, employee claims, and third-party injuries. Additionally, subcontractors should carry Professional Indemnity insurance where applicable, protecting them against legal liability related to the advice and services they provide. Importantly, Workers’ Compensation insurance is also essential, as it offers a safety net for subcontractors and employees who may become injured or ill due to work. Under Australian law, employers must have this insurance to cover their workers in case of work-related sickness or injury. Together, these insurances create a comprehensive safety framework for subcontractors and the client.
15. What is the purpose of Subcontractor’s Statement?
The purpose of a Subcontractor’s Statement is to provide assurance that all relevant financial obligations related to workers compensation, payroll tax, and employee remuneration have been met by the subcontractor for the work performed under the contract. It confirms that all workers compensation insurance premiums and payroll taxes have been paid, and that all remuneration to employees has been settled. This statement is crucial for relieving the principal contractor of liability for these costs, as stipulated in various legislative provisions, including the Workers Compensation Act and the Payroll Tax Act.
16. How are payments handled for subcontractors?
We prioritise timely and fair payments. As a subcontractor with us, you can expect punctual compensation for your services, ensuring your financial stability.
17. Why is it important for subcontractors to submit invoices promptly?
It is important for subcontractors to submit invoices promptly to facilitate accurate and timely billing by the main contractor. Timely invoices reduce the likelihood of disputes over charges and payment terms, minimising misunderstandings. Additionally, this practice ensures that the payment process complies with legal regulations and confirms that payments are made only for services rendered. Prompt submissions also provide a clear breakdown of what is owed, making receivable tracking and management more efficient.
18. How can subcontractors ensure compliance for tax invoices?
Subcontractors can ensure compliance for tax invoices by including specific information mandated by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). For taxable sales under $1,000, invoices must clearly state that they are tax invoices, include the seller’s identity and Australian Business Number (ABN), the invoice date, a brief description of the items sold (including quantity and price), any GST amount payable (which can be shown separately or as a statement if included in the total), and indicate whether each sale is taxable. For sales of $1,000 or more, the invoice must also include the buyer’s identity or ABN. By adhering to these guidelines, subcontractors can ensure their invoices meet compliance standards.
19. Can I join as a sole trader or do I need to have a registered business?
Both sole traders and registered businesses are welcome to join as a Subcontractor. You will need to provide relevant Subcontractor information such as your ABN, ACN, and GST registration status.
