Description
 
Stop "eating" the costs of bad designs, hidden conditions, and job surprises. Set ground rules that assign those costs to the rightful party ahead of time. For less than the cost of an hour with a lawyer you'll learn the exclusions to put in your agreements, why your insurance company may pay for your legal defense, how to avoid liability for injuries to your sub and his employees or damages they cause, how to collect on lawsuits you win, and much more.

The Contractor's Legal Kit offers builders and remodelers a systematic approach to running a more successful and profitable construction company. From your first meeting with the client to collecting the last check, this guide helps you establish the ground rules that govern your legal and business relationship with the owner. It shows you, step by step, how to use written documents to avoid most construction disputes and to successfully resolve those that are unavoidable. You'll find in-depth coverage of:

  • Fixed-Price Contracts
  • Cost-Plus Contracts
  • Change Orders
  • Subcontracts
  • Arbitration and Mediation
  • Settling Lawsuits
  • Liens and Lien Releases
  • Design-Build Agreements
  • Payment Schedules and Invoices
  • Express and Implied Warranties
  • Customer Relations
  • And Much More
