Document background
The Construction Service Agreement serves as the primary contract document for construction projects in the United States. It is essential when engaging contractors for any significant construction work, whether residential, commercial, or industrial. This agreement typically includes detailed specifications of the work to be performed, pricing structures, payment schedules, project timelines, quality standards, and risk allocation between parties. The document must comply with both federal construction regulations and state-specific requirements, including local building codes and contractor licensing laws. A well-drafted Construction Service Agreement helps prevent disputes by clearly defining expectations and responsibilities while providing mechanisms for handling changes and resolving conflicts.
