Description

The Construction Contract is a formal agreement between a Contractor and an Owner for the construction of a project in Oregon, applicable within New York. The contract details the scope of work, ensuring all labor and materials required for the project are covered according to the specified plans. A key feature is the assignment of responsibilities, where the Contractor must acquire necessary permits, while the Owner is advised on soil conditions, thus clarifying liability. The Contractor’s obligation to maintain insurance is highlighted, safeguarding against potential risks during the project. Changes to the scope of work can occur through written Change Orders, affecting project costs. The payment structure can either follow a cost-plus model or a fixed fee, depending on what is agreed upon. The contract also outlines late payment charges and warranty terms for workmanship within a year. This construction contract is particularly useful for attorneys and paralegals who draft and review agreements, partners and owners coordinating construction projects, as well as legal assistants supporting documentation and compliance efforts.
