Description

The Building Contract for Alterations and Additions in King is a legal agreement between a contractor and an owner outlining the terms for a construction project. It begins with a detailed scope of work, specifying labor and materials required. The work site is clearly defined, and the contractor is authorized to conduct necessary excavation and grading. The contractor is responsible for obtaining required permits, with associated costs borne by the project. Soil conditions are notably excluded from the contractor's responsibilities unless specified by the owner. The contract necessitates the owner to provide title and boundary surveys prior to construction. It also allows for changes to the project's scope through written change orders, with the owner agreeing to cover any additional costs incurred. Payment structures can be based on a cost-plus or fixed fee arrangement, along with stipulated late payment penalties. Finally, the contractor's warranty is limited to one year for workmanship defects, while material warranties are assigned to the owner. This contract is essential for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in construction projects, ensuring clarity and legal adherence throughout the renovation or addition process.
