Agreements
What the two agreements say
The retainer agreement
- The scope of phase one and what you receive
- The fee, how it is billed and what is credited toward the build
- The schedule for the drawings
- What you may take with you if you don't build with us
- How either of us can end it
The build agreement
- The drawings and specifications it builds from
- The price, with allowances listed by item and what is left out
- The payment schedule, tied to stages of the work
- How changes are priced and approved
- Permits, insurance certificates and the site plan
- The warranty: its terms, limits and exclusions are in the written warranty
Both agreements are written in plain language, and we go through them with you before you sign. Take them to a lawyer if you like.
