Description
A Cost Plus Contract in California allows the Owner to pay the Contractor for the actual costs of materials plus an additional fee for their services. This straightforward agreement is beneficial for managing construction projects as it adapts to changes in project scope. Key features include a clear delineation of responsibilities regarding permits, site conditions, and insurance requirements. Owners must provide necessary documents like boundary surveys and title opinions before construction begins. Changes to the project must be documented through 'Change Orders,' which may increase overall costs. The Contractor's fee structure can vary, but it typically includes a listed amount beyond material costs. This form is useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in construction law, as it provides a framework for cost management and legal protections in construction contracts.
