About this template
What is this template?
This is a full-service building contract where the contractor is responsible for sourcing all market-available materials and supplying all labor. It is not a labor-only contract; the contractor must provide materials of the best kind. It contains specific architect-led enforcement mechanisms including the power to discharge incompetent workmen and certify monthly payment instalments.
When should you use it?
Use this when a project has an appointed architect who will act as the sole arbiter of quality and progress. Use a 'Construction Management Agreement' instead if the owner is hiring separate trades and sourcing materials personally.
