Contract Clauses That Cost Contractors Money

Construction contracts can shift significant risk to contractors, often through clauses that are easy to overlook.

You will examine provisions that may create unexpected costs or limit your ability to recover them, including indemnity, pay-when-paid language, notice requirements, no-damages-for-delay clauses, warranty obligations, termination, insurance and flow-down provisions. Learn what to look for before signing and when a clause may require clarification, negotiation or additional pricing.
