The Contract - Get it in Writing!
After you have selected the Builder that has offered the best value (NOT the lowest price), it’s time to sign a Contract. Your Builder should present you with a detailed Contract that covers every aspect of construction.
It should be:
- fairly written
- protect both you and the builder from the possibility of any miscommunication or misunderstandings.
He will also suggest that you take it with you, review it, have your lawyer review it, adjust if required, and then sign the Contract. If you have picked the right Builder the Contract will get signed, be put away and never need to be looked at again!
