Non-compliance in Construction Contracts

The worst thing I sometimes see is we see construction companies negotiate a great contract and then they don't comply with it. All of a sudden they take the same concept into that post-contract award phase of like, yeah, okay, negotiate. We've negotiated a good contract. Now we're going to go and, oh, I don't want to appear to be too combative. I don't want to be submitting paperwork even though the contract says that you need to. More often than not, if you're a subcontractor, the main contractor, general contractor, has to submit changes up the line anyway. So, if you don't do the paperwork that you're supposed to do in the contract now, they're not going to be able to pass it up the line, which means that they're going to be in a situation where they're not going to be able to pay you. So, you have to help them by submitting your change as quickly as possible to them, so then they can wrap it up and then submit it to the main clients, so they get paid for it, so they can pay you.
