Michigan rules that this document follows
| Prompt payment to subcontractors | No private-project prompt-payment statute was confirmed — the subcontract's own payment terms are the only deadline, so write a real one |
|---|---|
| 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 | Michigan enforces a clear contingent-payment clause.Source: Christman Co. v. Anthony S. Brown Dev. Co., 210 Mich. App. 416, 533 N.W.2d 838 (1995) |
| Anti-indemnity statute | An indemnity clause in a construction contract is void to the extent it makes the subcontractor answer for the indemnitee's own negligence, whether sole or partial; indemnity for the subcontractor's own share of fault is still allowed.Source: Mich. Comp. Laws § 691.991 |
| 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: Mich. Comp. Laws §§ 570.1101–570.1305 (Construction Lien Act) |
