Description

The Construction Contract is designed for a construction project in building in Middlesex, outlining essential terms between the contractor and owner. It specifies the scope of work, which includes all necessary labor and materials for constructing the owner’s residence as per agreed plans. Notably, the contractor must obtain all requisite permits at the project's expense, while being exempt from liabilities related to soil conditions at the work site. The contract also mandates the contractor to maintain appropriate insurance coverage and requires the owner to provide a boundary survey and title opinion before construction begins. Changes to the scope of work are permitted, but only through written Change Orders, with costs payable by the owner. Payment structures may be either cost-plus or fixed fee, with late fees outlined for delayed payments. Importantly, the contractor offers a limited warranty on workmanship for one year, while material warranties rely on manufacturers. This contract serves as a vital document for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants involved in construction projects, ensuring clarity of responsibilities and protections for both parties.
