What is a Construction contract agreement?


If you’re planning to build, renovate or reconstruct your house, you will need to enter into a contract for home construction with the building contractor, defining your mutual rights and responsibilities. This agreement contains project specifics, the contractor’s license and insurance details, the requested scope of work, etc. It may also determine the potential lien on the property should the work not be paid in full.


Types of construction contracts


Depending on the payment arrangements determined by parties, there are four basic types of home builders’ contracts:


1. Fixed price (or lump-sum) agreements set the price for the completed job right from the start. Although fixed, the document may also include provisions defining penalties (for example, if the constructor fails to finish the work on schedule).


2. Cost plus construction agreements set the price for the finished work based on building materials and labor with additionally mentioned “plus” (a percentage of the total costs or a fixed fee).


3. Time and material agreements set the price for the work without a “plus,” but the client pays the contractor a daily or hourly rate while they are under contract.


4. Unit-price agreements are standard in bidding, particularly for federal building projects. Both owner and contractor define the price that the contractor charges for a standard unit without any specific extra fees for other units.


The first two types of contract for home construction mentioned are the most popular ones. Let’s take a closer look at them.


Fixed price vs. cost-plus contract benefits


The fixed price agreement benefits owners more than builders, as it determines at the moment the parties seal the deal the exact price the contractor will get after they complete all the work. Builders risk not getting the estimated profits they initially anticipated, as expenses may increase significantly but remain the constructor’s responsibility.


The cost-plus construction deal contains the evaluation of the final project cost; however, it doesn’t determine the final contract price until the contractor completes all the work. Unlike the fixed-price agreement, it separates expenses and sets the profit rate (as a percentage of the final project cost or as a flat amount), so contractors prefer this type of agreement; it is riskier for homeowners.

FAQ

The interest rate is an effective annual yield based upon a nominal rate which is compounded daily. Yields assume no additions or withdrawals made during the guaranteed period.

How did we get here? First, we found the total accrued amount (principal + interest), which is A = P + I. Next, interest amount is expressed as I = Prt. Combining these formulas, we get A = P + Prt, which is simplified as A = P(1 + rt).

A MYGA generally provides a higher rate of interest than comparable products. However, any premium placed in a MYGA will be subject to penalty charges that decline over time and possibly a market value adjustment. Carefully consider your liquidity needs before purchasing a multi-year guaranteed annuity, or MYGA.

A MYGA offers a guaranteed interest rate for a certain number of years. Interest compounds and savings grow tax-deferred. Savings grow faster when interest compounds tax deferred — this is the case with a MYGA until earned interest is withdrawn.

Annuity interest compounds annually unless you withdraw it. Not taking withdrawals will allow your funds to produce more interest each year of the contract.

A taxpayer makes the election by checking box 5a on Schedule A of Form 1040. If you elect to deduct state and local general sales taxes, you can use either your actual expenses or the optional sales tax tables.

A tax deductible expense is any expense that is considered “ordinary, necessary, and reasonable” and that helps a business to generate income. It is usually deducted from the company's income before taxation.
