District of Columbia rules that this document follows
| Prompt payment to subcontractors | The contractor must pay the subcontractor within 7 days after the contractor receives payment from the owner. Late payment carries 1.5% per month.Source: D.C. Code §§ 27-132 to 27-136 |
|---|---|
| Retainage cap on private work | No statutory cap was confirmed — retainage is whatever the subcontract says, and should never exceed what the owner holds from the general contractor |
| Pay-if-paid clauses | Not confirmed — no controlling statute or decision was found, so a clear condition-precedent clause may be enforced |
| Anti-indemnity statute | No construction anti-indemnity statute was confirmed — a broad indemnity may be enforceable, so read the clause closely before signing |
| Subcontractor lien rights | An unpaid subcontractor may record a mechanics lien against the project; the chapter below sets the preliminary-notice and filing deadlines, which run from the subcontractor's last work, not from the general contractor's.Source: D.C. Code §§ 40-301.01 et seq. (mechanics' liens) |
