What to avoid in construction contracts Unclear scope of work and specifications: An ambiguous scope of work can cause misinterpretation. Missing change order procedures: Not having change order procedures is a risk as construction projects rarely go exactly ing to plan.
To write a simple contract, title it clearly, identify all parties and specify terms (services or payments). Include an offer, acceptance, consideration, and intent. Add a signature and date for enforceability. Written contracts reduce disputes and offer better legal security than verbal ones.
The contract should describe, in detail, the products to be used and how the work will be performed, i.e., size, color, who will be doing what work, amounts of materials provided, manufacturer model number, etc. There must be a detailed, written payment schedule in the contract.
