Description

The Construction Contract is a legally binding document used for defining the relationship between a Contractor and an Owner in Maryland. It outlines the scope of work, including all labor and materials needed to construct a residence as per the Owner's specifications. The contract specifies the work site, which requires the Owner's approval for any excavation and grading needed. Additionally, the Contractor is responsible for obtaining necessary permits, while the Owner must provide a boundary survey and title opinion before construction begins. The contract also addresses soil conditions, insurance requirements, changes to the scope of work through written change orders, and payment structures—either cost plus or fixed fee. It stipulates penalties for late payments and includes a limited warranty for workmanship issues. This contract is beneficial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a clear framework for construction projects and protects the rights and responsibilities of all parties involved.
