??Subcontractor? means a general contractor or specialty contractor as defined by chapter 18.27 or 19.28 RCW, or who is otherwise required to be registered or licensed by law, who contracts for the improvement of real property with someone other than the owner of the property or their common law agent.?

The main difference lies in who isemploying the person. If a worker is employed by a company directly, they are an independent contractor. If the worker is hired to perform a specific task for a general contractor, they are a subcontractor.

There are three universally recognised types of sub-contractors in the construction industry. These are domestic subcontractors, nominated subcontractors and named subcontractors. However, there exists a thin distinguishing line between the named and the nominated sub-contractor.

A subcontractor is a person, team, or business that is slated to do a certain part of all of another's project or contract. Often, a subcontractor has a certain field of expertise or task that they specialize in and which is what they are hired for.

An MOU is typically drawn up between a general contractor and subcontractor or a project owner. An MOU between two construction companies is frequently used to begin the relationship and set the tone between contractors before the issuing of a formal contract.

Construction Contractors Must Be Registered. Washington State requires all construction contractors to register with L&I. State law also requires construction contractors to be bonded and insured to protect the public. Once registered, contractors can bid, advertise, and perform construction work.
