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
