Description

The Construction Contract is a legal document outlining the terms and conditions between a Contractor and an Owner for the construction of a residential project in Florida. This contract includes key sections such as the scope of work, work site details, and the necessity for permits and insurance. It specifies that the Contractor is responsible for all labor and materials required for the project, with allowances for changes initiated by the Owner through written 'Change Orders.' The contract also addresses payment structures, which can be based on actual costs or a fixed fee, and stipulates penalties for late payments. Importantly, it limits the Contractor's warranty to defects in workmanship for one year from completion. This document is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a clear structure for legal obligations and rights regarding construction projects, promoting transparency between the involved parties and facilitating effective project management.
