Description

The Construction Contract is a legal document designed for use in San Diego, outlining the agreement between a Contractor and an Owner regarding the construction of a residence. Key features include the scope of work, work site details, permit obligations, and insurance requirements, ensuring both parties understand their responsibilities. This contract specifies that the Contractor will apply for necessary permits at the Owner's expense and clarifies the handling of soil conditions at the work site, placing responsibility on the Owner for any additional site work needed. It allows for changes in the project scope through formal written change orders, along with detailing payment structures, which can either be cost-plus or fixed fee arrangements. The contract also includes provisions for late payments, including a penalty, and outlines the warranty terms for workmanship. This form is particularly valuable for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants as it provides a clear framework for construction projects, helping to mitigate potential disputes and set clear expectations among parties involved.
