Here are just a few things you should know
about our expectations and procedures
while working with CUI!
- Due to the unreliability of fax machines, we cannot guarantee payment of draws submitted by fax. If you choose to fax your
draws, we recommend calling to verify our receipt of your fax. We cannot be responsible for payment of your draw
otherwise.
- Draws are due on Friday by 3:00 PM for work completed up to that point. Draws submitted for work that is not complete will
be denied. Payment will be made the following Friday.
- Checks are available on Friday after 12:00 Noon. If you would like to have your check mailed as soon as they are available,
please contact the office at (615) 352-2269 or by email. If we do not hear from you, checks will be held in the office for pick
up. Unclaimed checks are mailed the following Monday at 12:00 Noon.
- Draws must include the following components:
Approved Change Order Amount
Adjusted Contract Amount
Amount Paid to Date
Draw Amount
Balance Remaining
You may use your own form if it includes all of these items, otherwise please use our draw form in addition to, or instead
of, your invoice. If your invoice is for a one time payment, a draw form is not necessary.
- Draws received in the office with errors will be returned. If your correction is not received within the necessary time frame,
it will be processed the following week.
- Change Orders must receive approval prior to the work being completed. Keep in mind that Change Orders submitted
after you have completed extra work may not be paid. If you are submitting more than one Change Order or have more
than one Change Order on a contract, please include a Change Order Summary.
- Construction Unlimited, Inc. expects all subcontractors to clean up after themselves. In addition to cleaning any dust,
remnants or results of that day's work, we expect all trash, food wrappers, etc to be removed from the site when you leave
each day. If we need to provide someone to clean up after your work, we will pass this cost off as a deduction on
payments you request, at a rate of $30/hour. Our clients have to live in our work areas, so please be respectful of that.
- There is no smoking within 25 feet of all Construction Unlimited, Inc. work sites. Please do not leave cigarette butts around
job sites.
- Please carefully review the "Work Attire" section in the contract. Professionalism includes "dress code", we define
appropriate dress as
No Cut-Offs
No Open-Toed Shoes
- Many of our clients and their neighbors have small children, so we expect your professionalism to extend to keeping
profanity to a minimum.
- Our workday begins at 7:00 AM and ends at 3:30 PM. CUI does not include lunches or breaks as "time worked".
- Insurance Requirements: All Subcontractors are required to carry Liability and Worker's Compensation Insurance. We
cannot use you if you are not current and the only exception to this is SOLE PROPRIETORSHIPS. Please contact the office if
you are unclear on your requirements.
- For safety reasons, no subcontractors are allowed to work ALONE on any job site. There must always be at least two persons
present. In the event of a SOLE PROPRIETOR who has signed the Affidavit, you must be accompanied by a CUI employee.
- When using the internet to submit draws and change orders, please "copy and paste" the form into an email. When using
your invoices, you can either "copy and paste" or send it as an attachment. Additionally, you can print the forms directly
from the site and submit them. Again, we do not recommend using Faxing as a delivery method. For submission addresses,
please visit the LINKS page.
- Many of the above items are covered in your contract with CUI. Please review your contracts carefully, as they are legally
binding documents.
