Description

The Construction Contract outlines the agreement between the Contractor and the Owner regarding the project of building a residence. A key feature is the clear delineation of the scope of work, which specifies the materials and labor the Contractor will provide. The contract stipulates the work site and requires the Contractor to obtain necessary permits, with permit costs being the Owner's responsibility. It addresses potential soil conditions by clarifying that any additional expenses for excavation or grading due to soil issues will fall on the Owner. Insurance responsibilities are defined, with the Contractor required to hold various insurance types. The agreement allows for changes to the scope of work through written 'Change Orders', with the Owner responsible for any resulting cost increases. The payment structure includes options for either cost-plus or a fixed fee for the Contractor’s services. Late payment penalties are prescribed, along with the Contractor’s warranty on workmanship. This form is useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, providing them with a standard framework to facilitate construction projects while safeguarding their interests.
