Description

The Construction Contract document outlines the agreement between a contractor and the owner for building a residence in Washington. It specifies the scope of work, including labor and materials needed for the project, and details about the work site. A notable feature is the requirement for the contractor to apply for necessary permits, which underscores the legal obligation involved in construction without a permit. The contract also addresses soil conditions, ensuring the owner is responsible for any additional site work needed due to unforeseen soil issues. Insurance coverage for general liabilities and worker's compensation is mandated to protect both parties. Changes to the work scope must be formalized through written change orders to manage project adjustments effectively. Additionally, late payment terms and warranty details are provided, protecting the contractor's rights while limiting liability for materials beyond one year. This form is particularly useful for attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants engaged in construction projects, as it ensures compliance with local regulations and protects both parties involved in the contract.

Ultimately, the responsibility for obtaining the necessary permits lies with the homeowner. If your contractor skips this step, you could end up facing the consequences, including fines, penalties, or even being forced to undo the work.
