Description

The Contract contractor building for work over $20,000 in Philadelphia serves as a comprehensive agreement between the contractor and the owner for construction projects meeting this cost threshold. Key features include a detailed scope of work, outlining labor and materials to be provided, and the work site description. The contractor is responsible for obtaining necessary permits, while soil conditions at the site are the owner's responsibility. The contract also necessitates the owner to provide a boundary survey and title opinion prior to construction. Changes to the project can be made through written Change Orders, with costs adjusted accordingly. Payment terms are clearly defined, with options for cost-plus or fixed-fee agreements.
