    It depends on the subcontractors contract with the contractor. If the contract says the subcontractor has to wait, then yes.

    So it will always depend on the contract. As a subcontractor, I would insist in timely payments, if I’m required to finance material which is used for the contractor. If the contractor is providing all materials for the work, then it may be suitable to just ask for a retainer.

    Though, read your contracts thoroughly.
    Hope this helps.
