Description

The Construction Contract format in Georgia is designed to formalize agreements between a contractor and an owner for the construction of a project. It outlines the scope of work, including details about labor, materials, and site specifics. The contractor is responsible for obtaining necessary permits, while the owner must address soil conditions and provide relevant surveys. The contract stipulates insurance requirements and provides a framework for changes through written change orders. Payment can be structured as cost plus or fixed fee, with provisions for late payments. A warranty for workmanship is included, lasting one year. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a clear structure for obligations and expectations, minimizing legal disputes and ensuring compliance with local regulations.
