Description

The Construction Contract outlines the agreement between the Contractor and Owner regarding the construction of a residence. It specifies the scope of work, including labor and materials, and the work site details. A key provision emphasizes that obtaining necessary permits is the Contractor's responsibility, which is crucial in Fairfax, where building without a permit can lead to legal consequences. The contract clarifies that the contractor is not liable for soil conditions, which can add expenses for the Owner if issues arise. It includes clauses on insurance, boundaries, and payment terms, detailing both cost-plus and fixed fee agreements. The Owner may request changes to the project scope, but such changes must be documented through written change orders. This contract is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it provides a clear framework for construction agreements, encourages compliance with local regulations, and ensures that both parties understand their rights and responsibilities.
