Description

The construction contract outlines the responsibilities and obligations of the contractor and owner for building a house in Allegheny. It details the scope of work, which includes all labor and materials necessary for the project, as described by the approved plans. The work site must be specified, allowing for customary excavation and grading, but without requiring additional landscaping unless specified. Essential permits and regulatory approvals are the contractor's responsibility, while soil conditions and any extra site work falls to the owner. Required insurance coverage must be maintained by the contractor, ensuring protection against various risks. Changes to the project scope can occur through written "Change Orders," with the owner liable for any cost increases. Payment terms are set either as a cost-plus or fixed fee, with provisions for late payments and collection costs. Finally, the contractor's warranty is limited to defects in workmanship for one year and assigns any manufacturer material warranties to the owner. This form is especially useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it clarifies roles, expectations, and protective measures, streamlining the construction process.
