Common examples of vagueness in this regard are formulations such as „contractual documents. all exhibits, appendices, supplements and all other documents used as contract amendments” and the common practice of including attachments in the project manual, but omitting those attachments from the list of what constitutes the contract documents. Such inaccuracies should be avoided. Construction insurance covers materials, risks, natural disasters and employees. Performance bonds, specific types of cover and all-risk insurance should be clearly defined in the contract in order to protect both parties and avoid disputes. Because contractual documents are often the basis of every claim. Although not always included, this document gives the contractor the official mandate to perform any task and deliver any material that will be included in the construction project. It is an organizational document that provides a systematic way to organize all the information in the different sections of the contract. The work plan is very important for both parties.

Because a project cannot be carried out without a proper plan. A project calendar displays the site deployment date, start and end milestones, project duration, and other useful information. Tasks are listed and grouped under specific levels of work breakdown structure, such as civil, electrical, and mechanical work, in a project schedule. This document informs contractors about what to do and how to build the structure. Construction drawings are a collaboration between the architect, the client and the contractor. Ideally, this is the most recent version of the drawings. This is a contractual document that states that all personnel and equipment associated with a construction project are insured against loss or damage. Through insurance, all risks associated with personnel and equipment in a construction project are transferred to a third party. The choice of the type of construction contract depends on the scope of services and the risk appetite of the owner.

The client and the contractor must conclude the contract by means of signatures attested before the start of the work. In practice, the administrative effort of compiling all the necessary documents can be overtaken by the desire to start construction. In such circumstances, it becomes more difficult to resolve disputes regarding content. In some cases, courts had to interpret an implied contract if the contract was not signed. Construction „contract documents” are written documents that define roles, responsibilities and „work” under the construction contract and are legally binding on the parties (owner and contractor). The individual documents that constitute the „contractual documents” of the design are defined (in the standard EJCDC and AEOI documents) in the owner-contractor agreement (in EJCDC® C-520 (2013), see Article 9). A solid scope of work is crucial to the tendering process and the construction process. This document defines the scope of work to be used to determine the amount of work required to complete the project. It is very important that the person preparing the contractual requirements and other „Department 00” documents fully understands the implications of what constitutes „contractual documents” and what is not; Failure to properly name the contractual documents can constitute a significant contractual error. This is usually an addition or change to the „Terms and Conditions” section.

This document describes in detail the clauses and conditions specific to each task or project. For example, if certain instructions apply only to a task or part of the build, they will be included in this document. This is a technical requirement to complete, perform and execute tasks or to include questions in a construction project. It gives intelligence to the drawings of a construction. Building a strong contract is one of the first steps to the success of your project, no matter what you`re building or the client you`re working for. A full-fledged construction contract can contain up to 10 documents that specify various aspects of the work. Successful entrepreneurs learn to use them all. The agreement can be a standard document, as provided by AIA or ConsensusDocs, or customized according to the requirements of a particular project. The form depends on how the contract payment is configured. MasterFormat is a universal method of organizing such documents, a publication published by CSI, the Construction Specification Institute. It is generally used for institutional and commercial construction projects and is generally not used in housing projects. A paid nomenclature is a mandatory contractual document whose rate and amount column is filled in by a contractor.

A bill of materials consists of a list of work to be performed under the contract with the quantities seized for each item and created according to the standard method of measuring construction work (Seeley and Winfield, 2005) A contractual agreement defines the agreement between the customer and the contractor in which the parties are specified and their responsibilities in the construction process are defined. It is the essential document to which other contractual documents are attached or to which reference is made. A standard document such as AEOI contacts can be used for the agreement. Contractual documents contain both written and graphic elements. Below are some of the common types of contract documents that should be included. All contracts must contain a set of drawings that apply to the work to be performed […].
