T A contract that doesn 9t anticipate and resolve the most likely disputes is an accident waiting to happen. Most cboilerplate d contracts are just that 3 anything but flexible. Don 9t be fooled. For construc- tion contractors, one size does not fit all. No pre-printed form will fit your job precisely. Generic fill-in-the-blank forms loaded with content that doesn 9t apply may look legally adequate, but usually won 9t fulfill the specific requirements of your state. (Each state has their own unique set of requirements.) Most store-bought contracts are designed to protect either the property owner or the design professional (architect or engineer).

Doing business on a handshake or on notes scrib- bled on the back of an enve- lope is worse 3 likely to end up on the desk of an attorney or in a complaint to the state board.
