Description

The construction contract outlines the responsibilities of the contractor and owner in the process of building a house in Chicago. Key features of the form include a detailed scope of work, outlining the construction project based on provided plans and specifications. It specifies the work site for the project and mandates that the contractor obtain necessary permits, with associated costs borne by the project. The contract also stipulates that the contractor is not responsible for soil conditions at the site, placing that obligation on the owner. Additionally, it defines insurance obligations for the contractor, requiring coverage for general liability and workers compensation. Changes in the scope of work can be made via written 'Change Orders,' which may incur extra costs. The contract specifies payment structures, including options for cost-plus and fixed-fee agreements, and introduces penalties for late payments, including collection costs. Lastly, a limited warranty for workmanship is provided for a period of one year. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in real estate and construction law, as it offers a clear framework for contractual obligations, risk management, and cost structures inherent in home building projects.
