The Construction Contract
The construction contract for residential, commercial and public works projects is the foundation of the relationship between every:
- Design Professional,
- General Contractor,
- Subcontractor,
- Developer, and
- Material Supplier.
It is critical that prior to signing a construction contract the parties understand their respective:
- Duties,
- Liabilities and
- Risks
and then negotiate to eliminate or minimize one-sided contract terms.
Do you understand your duties, liabilities and risks you are accepting? No?!?!
It is critical to understand this as relationships deteriorate when a dispute and/or litigation is on the horizon. At this point, it is too late to negotiate favorable terms.
Plumtree Law helps construction contractors
draft and/or negotiate construction contracts to match each construction contractor’s tolerance for risk.
Critical contract clauses include:
- Differing Site Conditions
- Change Orders
- Notice Provisions
- Payment Provisions
- Paid When Paid
- Paid If Paid
- Retention
- Indemnity and Insurance Provisions
- Damages for Delay
- Termination
- Claims and Disputes Procedures
- Alternative Dispute Resolutions
