Description

The Construction Contract form designed for use in Philadelphia outlines the agreement between the contractor and the owner regarding project execution based on a cost-plus model. Key features include a detailed scope of work, requirements for permits, and provisions related to site conditions and insurance. This contract ensures that contractors apply for necessary regulatory approvals and outlines their financial responsibilities, particularly regarding additional site work due to unforeseen soil conditions. The form stipulates that any changes in the project scope must be documented through written change orders, which may affect project costs. The contractor's fee can be calculated on a cost-plus basis, allowing for actual material costs plus predetermined service fees, or a fixed fee arrangement. Timely payment provisions are also included, with penalties for late payments. Additionally, limited warranties on workmanship are provided, ensuring accountability for defects within one year post-construction. This contract is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants who need to structure construction agreements and manage project cost expectations while ensuring compliance with local regulations.
