Legal Question in Construction Law in Indiana

Re: Vendor payments

At the least, you should always make such payments in the form of a joint check or have the vendor acknowledge in writing that the payment is being made with his permission. Naturally this should count against whatever contract amount you owe him. It is still regarded as payment to the vendor so no other actions would need to be taken.
