Home Improvement Contractor - Licensed Contractors

What documents are you entitled to from your hired general contractor?

We need all documents pertaining to a house fire, everyone the contractor talked to, bills paid, permits paid for, who they subcontracted with etc. Are we entiled to everything they have in their files?

  1. If you entered into a Lump Sum Contract, based on a Lump Sum Bid, I don't think you're entitled to any more than the Contractor wants to tell/provide to you. You might be entitled to a list of subcontractors.
  2. Depends. Are you involved in litigation? If you are, you can probably get them through a subpoena. If not, they don't have to do anything, unless there was a clause in your agreement that requires them to. Consider narrowing your request to a list of subcontractors and call them yourself. Your more likely to get their cooperation.
