Need Help Writing Contract
need help on writing contract
hi all sorry if i've over-posted this inquiry, i'm new to forum and it seems a little tough for me to navigate. Could anyone give me advice or point me in the right direction where I might find good advice on writing a job contract? it's for a small job- about 600 sq ft of old wood flooring needs removed and replaced with new tiles. I think it should be simple as I don't want to scare customers away with too many BIG words they cant understand. Also I've heard talk of what's called a "change order" being added so that your not screwed if you open up a project and there's more costly problems than originally anticipated. Does anyone have experience with this? also does anyone have advice as to what forms, are simple easy and cost effective? input on any or all these ?'s would be appreciated. thanks |

You may try here first. No matter what you do, run whatever you want by your lawyer first. A poorly worded contract can end up costing you. Big time.

Re: Need Help Writing Contract
Hey Strat, do you know what a change order is? Where is he hearing this? Are they usefull? Any answer you could give me would be helpful...
 At least I would hope since you are the occasional GC and this guy is a fulltime GC...
