Description

The Construction Contract outlined above serves as a formal agreement between a contractor and an owner for a construction project under the 'cost plus' type of construction contracts prevalent in Mecklenburg. This contract details the scope of work, the work site, and the responsibilities of both parties, including the contractor's obligation to secure necessary permits and insurance. It highlights that the owner is responsible for additional expenses arising from soil conditions and allows for changes to the project's scope through a written 'Change Order.' A key feature of this contract is the payment structure, where the owner agrees to pay the actual costs incurred by the contractor for materials plus a specified fee for services rendered. This contract is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in real estate and construction projects, providing them with a clear blueprint for contractual obligations and financial agreements. By using this contract, parties can ensure compliance with local regulations and have a framework for resolving potential disputes over scope changes or payment issues.
