Commercial Contracts
Commercial contracts are foundational documents for non-residential construction projects in Kiama and its surrounding areas. They meticulously detail the agreements between parties, encompassing their obligations and the project’s scope of work. These contracts vary in type, with some like the fixed-price contract setting a predetermined project cost, while others, such as the cost-plus contract, factor in both the project expenses and an additional fee. Time and materials contracts, which bill based on actual costs of labour and materials, are also prevalent. Each variant has its merits and potential pitfalls. It’s imperative to discern the right fit for your venture, and a seasoned commercial contracts lawyer can guide you in this selection, ensuring all essential elements are aptly incorporated to safeguard your interests.
