FAQ
What is a "draw schedule" and how is it structured?
A draw schedule is a detailed payment plan for a new construction project. Payments (draws) are tied to the completion of specific, verifiable milestones (e.g., foundation poured, framing complete, roof on). This protects both parties' cash flow.
What kind of warranty is typically included in a new build contract?
New build warranties are often multi-tiered. A common structure is a 1-year warranty for labor/materials, a 2-year warranty for systems (HVAC, plumbing), and a 10-year structural warranty. I will draft clauses reflecting the agreed-upon warranty terms.
How does the contract handle unforeseen site conditions?
The Standard and Premium packages include a "concealed or unknown conditions" clause. This clause outlines a fair process for addressing unexpected issues (like rock ledge or poor soil) and documenting any associated costs or time extensions.
