OK, here's a little more background. I have an existing client. This client is in the real estate business, and he is now building a spec house with some investment partners.

When it came time to decide on an integrator for the spec house, my client championed my shop, but it was decided by the investment group that the GC would be the one awarding and managing the job. We were awarded the job, and are now in the contract signing stage.

Yes, I know this is a potential minefield, but I've made the decision to accept the risk.

I've been reading through the standard AIA Contractor-to-Subcontractor contract ([Link: aiad8.prod.acquia-sites.com]), and it actually seems pretty fair.
