Question About Contracts And Forms


Good morning all. I am new here. I have been doing a ton of reading, great stuff so far.

Anyway, I am in the process of setting up my company as a remodeling contractor. I have done most everything with the exception of putting together a legal package of forms and contracts. I am curious how all of you went about this. Did you go to your attorney? What are your thoughts on buying a package of forms? I found a website that promotes such a package and was curiouss if anyone was familiar with them. They ar ABCA Forms . com


Any and all advice is appreciated.

Shawn

Re: Question About Contracts And Forms


1st of all -
Where are you located
Are you doing Residential or commercial
Are you acting as a GC?
Any Employees?

Glad to help
I've been in the residential remodeling business for 24 years.

Re: Question About Contracts And Forms


I am located in Oregon. We are focusing on Residential remodeling. We will be the GC. Currently no employees, but intend to.

I have been in and around the industry for around 18 years. I even ran my own business around 10 years ago. I was moderately succesfull, but really had no idea how to operate a business. Since then I have worked for a company in a slightly unrelated field. Through that opportunity, my understanding of business has grown substantially. Anyway, were I am getting hung up is on where to get proper documentation, to protect myself, my business and my customers.

Thanks again for any help.

Shawn

We use easy to read, plain english Contract and forms. Best for you and your clients. Forget all the solicitors.
