Contracting Agreement
Review List

This review list is provided to inform you about this document in question and assist you in its preparation. A contracting agreement need not be any more complicated than this one. In fact, more complexity usually leads to more disputes. In any event, provide the details of your agreement within this framework and you should be off and running. As an owner, simpler contracts tend to create less distrust and other problems. As a contractor, simpler contracts accomplish much of the same and tend to get the project moving because the potential customer is less wary of the agreement.

1. Make multiple copies. Give one to each signatory. Keep one in the related files.
2. Be sure to negotiate progress payments carefully. This is often the “rub” or sensitive point in these kinds of transactions.
