California Construction Contracts






What's required in a California Construction Contract?

A heck of a lot.

In 2006 California Construction Law changed and became much more complex. A California construction contract has to be in 10 point type, has to include the name and address of the owner, the contractor, and the lending agent, and the contractor's license number. It has to list the contract price, the downpayment, the estimated start and completion dates, the general liability insurance coverage, a note about how extra charges will be handled and a disclosure for the owner on Mechanic's Lien Waivers. This is just a start of the requirements.
