Construction contract is a common phenomenon in modern legal relations. Its essence lies in the fact that two parties, called the contractor and the customer, enter into a mutually beneficial deal. The contract provides that the contractor performs a certain amount of construction work paid by the customer.
The contract specifies the terms, conditions, procedure for performing work, drawing up technical documentation and other important details. The contractor does all this in full, that is, for example, builds or restores a house. Such work is his responsibility. The customer, in turn, provides the construction site. It also remains the coordination of the estimate and design documentation and the acceptance of the object after the completion of construction work.
Construction may involve multiple contractors. The scope of work specified in the contract is subject to execution. The contractor must comply with this requirement within the established time frame. Such an agreement is also possible, in which the customer and the general contractor enter into an agreement, and the latter entrusts the execution of work to other entities not specified in the original documents. Thus, the general contractor caninvolve someone to perform a certain type of work, but this should in no way affect the final result specified in the contract.
Immediately before the conclusion of the contract, the parties consider the conditions and documentation. The customer side must provide a sketch of the object, a project, a plan of the building site and a building permit. The contractor considers all this and, in turn, provides a license for review if it works legally.
Contract is a rather complex transaction in terms of its meaning. It must be taken into account that both the construction contractor and the customer are at risk. If the object is very serious and requires special responsibility from both parties, then there should be no missteps at all. Naturally, it is very important to prescribe even the smallest details in the contract so as not to fall into the trap and not become a victim of scammers.
The occurrence of negative situations after the conclusion of a work contract is not uncommon. It so happened that an unscrupulous contractor and a group of scammers took the money transferred to the account and disappeared to no one knows where. The persons responsible for this were often not found at all, the schemes were complex and thoughtful. Another turn of events is also possible. For example, the construction of a national facility was assigned to a reckless contractor who missed deadlines and/or made many mistakes.
In fact, both the general contractor and his subordinate can be dishonest. In practice, there are caseswhen the customer was dishonest, did not pay the agreed amount or demanded additional work. In such cases, without a lawsuit, cases are completed very rarely. An experienced contractor understands this even without any help from a lawyer.
It can be concluded that the conclusion of a contract requires increased vigilance from both parties. It is better to use a good lawyer and make inquiries about the opposite side than to bitterly pay with your own strength, nerves and money later. It is also necessary to know all the subtleties of state policy in the field of contracting and the norms of relevant legislative acts.
