FAQ
Why hire a licensed US attorney instead of using an online template?
Online templates contain unenforceable language and miss critical risk-shifting terms like statutory lien compliance, specific retainage limits, and tailored indemnification.
Can you draft for both residential and commercial projects?
Yes. I customize the legal framework based on the asset class, ensuring commercial compliance or residential consumer-protection adherence.
Does the contract include provisions for change orders?
Yes. It mandates formal, written change orders to prevent contractors from performing unauthorized work and protect owners from surprise charges.
How are mechanics' liens addressed?
The agreement incorporates conditional and unconditional lien waiver requirements tied to progress and final payments.
Which jurisdiction's laws will govern the agreement?
The contract is custom-drafted to adhere to the governing law of whichever US state your project is located in.
Can you incorporate custom milestones and exhibit schedules?
Yes. Standard and Premium tiers allow for detailed exhibits, draw schedules, and technical work scope documents.
