Does anyone sub to a bigger company?
Do you have to pay a retention?
If I can be nosey what’s your day rate?

I sub and charge £210 per day

I use to sub to a bigger company on build work. Tried to price around 200 a day and yes they took a retention which I never got. Always put that on anyway or made up an extra .

Other sub work I have done was usually priced at a rate they wanted .

Isn’t that the case when subbing you get always the works no one wants to do?

How much retention did they hold?

 

[hammers4spanner]

2.5 % or something like that , but i use to put 5 percent or so back on

£220 a day for me 2.5 % retention which you will struggle to get pain the butt forever chasing payments, keep a detailed diary of each days work and extras get a day work sheet done and back up with pictures on the phone the main contractor will try a wriggle out of paying extras. Cheers kop

I have always found if you sub to someone eventually it will go pear shaped and you will fall out
.
Normally happens when you have a bill of about 25 k lol

It’s 5% retention
Max of £1000 held at the moment.

Subbing can be great on the correct terms/ But very rarely it is
