Description

The Construction Contract outlines the agreement between a contractor and an owner for the construction of a residential project. It specifies the scope of work, work site, and permits required for the project, as well as addressing soil conditions and insurance responsibilities of the contractor. The contract permits the owner to make changes to the scope of work through written change orders, with adjustments to project costs accordingly. Payment terms are clearly defined, offering options for both cost-plus and fixed-fee arrangements. Additionally, the contract stipulates late payment penalties and warranties for workmanship and materials. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a clear framework for construction agreements, mitigates risks, and ensures compliance with local regulations. Legal professionals can use this form to facilitate negotiations, protect client interests, and enhance clarity in contract terms.
