Unless you specifically spell out a different time period in a contract, Utah law permits contract and warranty claims to be filed within six years of the date of completion (or abandonment) of the improvement.
On public projects in California, for example, state law caps retainage at 5% prior to completion and acceptance of the project. These laws also set a deadline for the payment of retainage, though the timeline is typically based on the payment to the contractor's hiring party.
A Fixed Bid project is billed using a flat amount, regardless of the number of hours worked. This flat amount can be applied to the project as a whole, or to each week or month of the project.
Planning to do construction work in Utah? You'll need to get a contractor's license. In addition to protecting your business, a Utah general contractor's license can boost your profit potential by helping you land bigger jobs. Without a license, you're limited to projects valued at less than $3,000.
RMO License One of the most common, and often easiest ways that people without any prior experience can gain access to a contractor license is by utilizing either an “RMO” or “RME.”
Before submitting your license application, double-check you have all the requirements by completing the Pre-Application Checklist. The General Contractors License Guide website says the Utah Division of Occupational and Professional License can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks to process your application.
