‘Retainage Laws in the 50 States’ manual from ASA available for subcontractors

‘Retainage Laws in the 50 States’ manual from ASA available for subcontractors


By BD+C Staff | April 5, 2013

A reference manual published by the American Subcontractors Association, Retainage Law in the 50 States, is available for construction subcontractors to understand retainage laws across the U.S. Each state entry in the manual reviews critical factors in retainage law for private and public work, including the retainage rate permitted under law, retainage release milestones, and any options to provide alternative securities in lieu of retainage. The manual also contains a chart summarizing the major elements of retainage law for each state. Subcontractors and specialty trade contractors can learn more about negotiating reduced or zero retainage by participating in ASA’s April 9, 2013, webinar, “Negotiating Retainage.”
