Description

The construction contract form outlines a Cost Plus contract type specifically for the Wake area, detailing the agreement between the contractor and the owner. Key features include a scope of work, where contractors must provide all necessary labor and materials according to specified plans. The document emphasizes the importance of obtaining permits, assessing soil conditions, and maintaining insurance throughout the construction process. Changes to the scope of work can be made via written Change Orders, with owners agreeing to cover any increased costs. The Contractor's fee can be structured either as a cost plus arrangement, where the owner pays actual costs plus a set fee, or as a fixed fee for the complete project. This form serves multiple target audiences effectively, offering versatility for attorneys to facilitate negotiations and clarify obligations, partners to evaluate project costs, owners to understand their responsibilities, associates to manage documentation, and paralegals and legal assistants to assist in file preparation and reviews. Utilizing clear and concise language, the contract ensures that all parties are informed of their rights, responsibilities, and the financial implications involved in the construction project.
