Construction contracts are one of the types of complex contracts. Because besides the basic contents of a contract. It also contains professional content in the field of construction. Therefore, there are some basic notes that homeowners need to pay attention to. When deciding to sign a construction contract.
Content of Contract
The first difficulty for the parties is determining the content of the Contract. To understand the complexity of determining the content of the contract, the homeowner needs to visualize it. "How many main items and how many sub-items are needed for a construction project?" If you do not accurately determine the content of work to be performed. It is very easy to incur unexpected costs and conflicts between both parties during the appraisal process.
Project acceptance
To ensure acceptance is carried out clearly and avoid disputes. It is necessary to clearly agree on the following criteria:
– Quality and standards of projects, items or jobs, completed products.
– Who are the members of the acceptance test and are required to sign the Acceptance Minutes? The work is considered strictly accepted when all parties confirm their agreement to accept the work. And there are no requests for correction or repair for any items or work.
Work-related deadlines
Clearly and logically stipulate time terms to ensure the project is completed within the required time limit. Avoid project extensions or abandonments during implementation. We offers some deadline issues that need attention:
– Time limit for completing the work (project). This is the first important deadline to pay attention to and establish strict contract terms. An appropriate time should be set to ensure the project does not delay progress.
– Time limit for completing the correction of errors, repairing the project, and completing it without meeting requirements. A maximum time limit should be specified to complete the remediation and repair work.
– To ensure the identification of violations as well as limit deadlines. Then you should agree on strict notification terms such as: Address, receiving unit or representative, form of notification,...
Penalty for violation, unilateral termination of contract.
In construction activities, the work content is quite broad. So the violations arising from that are also very different. There are violations that can cause serious consequences. But there are also violations that do not have much impact on the violated party. Therefore, it is necessary to identify two basic types of violations: minor violations (can require remediation or prior warning). And serious violations (penalties, compensation and can be grounds for unilateral termination of the Contract). Handling violations due to failure to complete the project on time (after extension). Or the quality of the work does not meet the requirements.
Above are the notes that Nam Trung suggests so that customers can prepare both financially and psychologically for the initial steps of building a house. There are also arising issues such as methods of managing supplies, construction materials, etc. Ensuring that both parties properly and fully carry out their signed obligations.
