Description

Changes during construction can only be made through written Change Orders, with financial implications outlined. Payment structures can either be cost-plus or fixed fee, along with penalties for late payments. Ownership warranties on workmanship are limited to one year, while material warranties are transferred from manufacturers. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants by ensuring comprehensive legal compliance and minimizing disputes during construction projects.
