The Sample of Cost Plus Contract for Construction in Franklin is a legal document that outlines the terms of engagement between a contractor and an owner for a construction project. This contract specifies that the contractor will cover all labor and materials necessary to construct a residence, detailed in attached plans and specifications. Key features of the contract include the contractor's responsibility for obtaining necessary permits, limitations on the contractor's liability regarding soil conditions, and provisions for changes in the scope of work, which must be executed in writing. The contract allows for two types of payment structures: a cost-plus method, where the owner pays the actual costs plus a fee, or a fixed fee arrangement. Additionally, it addresses late payments, warranties, and requires the owner to provide necessary surveying and title documentation before construction begins. This form is especially useful for attorneys and legal assistants involved in drafting or reviewing construction agreements, as well as for owners seeking clear guidelines on their obligations and rights. Partners and associates can use this contract to ensure compliance with local regulations and protect against potential liabilities.
