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 Office of Medical Assistance Programs (OMAP) administers the joint state/federal Medical Assistance (also known as Medicaid) program that provides healthcare coverage for more than 3.1 million Pennsylvania residents.

The Medically Needy Only (MNO) program lets you get Medicaid benefits even if your income is higher than Medicaid program guidelines. It works by letting you spend down your income so that you meet Medicaid income limits. The spend-down amount is the amount of income that is over the Medicaid limit.

What is a PA Waiver Program? A waiver program allows states to waive certain Medicaid requirements to provide care and support services to individuals who might otherwise require institutional care.

Generally, services are not subject to sales tax in Pennsylvania with the exception of services that are specifically identified as taxable.

Here are some helpful tips on using Medical Assistance: If you need a new ACCESS card, call: 1-877-395-8930. If you live in Philadelphia, call: 1-215-560-7226. For more information about what is included in these healthcare services along with any limits, please call: 1-800-537-8862, option # 1, # 2, # 3.

To bill Medicaid your doctor must register with DPW as a Medicaid provider, even if your doctor does not treat Medicaid patients on a regular basis.

This is a form of a contract for services. So, the bill is not untimely as the statute of limitations for contract is 4 years. However, if it was covered by insurance, then the doctor may have a problem collecting if the doctor did not submit it in time to the insurance company.

Can my provider ever bill me? Generally, the only time a provider can bill a Medicaid recipient for a service is if the service is not covered by Medicaid, the provider informed the consumer of this ahead of time, and the consumer consented to paying for the non‐covered service out‐of‐pocket.
