Description

The Construction Contract is a legal agreement designed for use in coordinating construction projects within San Bernardino, specifically tailored for contractors and owners involved in residential construction. Key features include a comprehensive scope of work outlining all labor and materials, a designated work site, and clear responsibility for obtaining necessary permits. The contract states that the contractor is not liable for soil conditions at the work site and emphasizes the importance of owner diligence in determining site requirements. Additionally, it covers insurance obligations, including general liability and worker's compensation, and highlights the need for boundary surveys and title opinions before construction begins. Owners can make changes to the scope of work through formal 'Change Orders,' with contractor compensation structured either as a cost-plus arrangement or fixed fee. Late payments incur fees, and warranties are limited to one year for workmanship defects. This contract is beneficial for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, as it provides a structured framework for project management and legal compliance while protecting the interests of all parties involved.
