This means I will pull permits for him, I will do the same work and he will have contract with clients and I will work for him. What are my new liabilities? I f something goes wrong will a lawyer go after him as the contractor even if I am the contractor of record at building department. He has contractor liability insurance and each sub including me have liability for our work up to a million
Base on your description the plan places you at significant risk. By pulling the permits you are obligating to be the responsible contractor. I would not count on the builder or subs indemnifying you if you are sued. You should consult an attorney to discuss the specifics of this arragement and discuss methods of mitigating your risk.
Good Luck
