Write into the contract which laws apply and how disputes will be resolved. Include space for signatures.

This contract provides general conditions and rights, responsibilities, and relationships of the owner, contractor, construction manager, and architect when the construction manager is an adviser.

Owner duties and responsibilities that have arisen in typical disputes include: Providing financing for the project. Providing site surveys. Securing and paying for easements. Warranting the plans and specifications. Warranting owner furnished materials. Disclosing superior knowledge.

Structure payments on a per-project basis, and require the contractor to submit invoices. Avoid salary payments, hourly payments, or any guaranteed “retainer” that is not tracked to performance. Specify the conditions for termination of the relationship—and do not make the arrangement terminable at will.
