What should a general contractor's written contract include?
Scope of work, a detailed estimate for labor and materials, start and completion dates, exclusions, payment terms and a rule that every change is approved in writing with its cost. A 25% deposit with later payments tied to milestones is a normal structure, and a request for most of the money before work starts is a warning sign. Our guide to choosing a general contractor in Williston, ND has the full checklist, including how to check a contractor's North Dakota license and insurance certificates.
