The Construction Contract is a formal agreement between a Contractor and an Owner for the construction of a residential project in Illinois, specifically tailored to comply with regulations from the Oregon Forest Service. Key features include clear identification of the project scope, work site specifications, permitting responsibilities, and liability clauses regarding soil conditions. The contract outlines the Contractor's responsibilities for obtaining necessary permits and maintaining insurance coverage. It includes provisions for change orders, specifying that any modifications to the project require written consent. Payment terms are flexible, accommodating both cost-plus and fixed fee arrangements, while late payment penalties are clearly outlined. The warranty provided by the Contractor is limited to one year for workmanship defects, with no warranty on materials after that period. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a structured template for establishing legal relationships and ensuring compliance with construction laws. It aids in risk management and provides clarity about expectations and responsibilities throughout the construction process.
