Construction Contract FAQ

Q. Is there a difference between a construction contract and a contractor's agreement?

A. No, they are merely different names for the same type of document. Both a construction contract and a contractor's agreement refer to an agreement that occurs between an owner of real property and any type of contractor or subcontractor, such as a painter, plumber, carpenter, etc. So while you may both see and hear these different names being used, they are nevertheless both referring to a contract or an agreement between a property owner and a contractor for some type of construction job.

Q. What is a construction contract?

A. A construction contract is a binding contract that is made between an owner of real estate (such as a house or commercial building), and a contractor or subcontractor. An agreement such as this lists all of the relevant parties, a description of the job that will be performed, terms of payment, start and end dates, and various other clauses that pertain to this type of agreement.
