Frequently asked questions

Is this a legal contract template?

No. This is a governance framework — the operational controls that manage contractor relationships. It does not replace contract templates, MSAs, or legal agreements. It tells you what to check, verify, and document at each stage.

Does this cover subcontractor management?

Yes. The framework applies to both direct contractors and subcontractors. Section 5 (Workforce & Compliance) specifically addresses sub-tier contractor controls.

Is this specific to construction?

The framework was built for industrial operations — construction, energy services, environmental, and manufacturing. The safety and compliance sections are weighted toward physical work environments.

Who built this?

A former Managing Director with direct oversight of contractor governance across multi-site industrial operations under PE ownership.

Control your contractor risk before it controls you.
