new startup - contract questions
(OP)
Hi, folks.
I've started my new company and have my first job on the books - hooray! I've been looking for contract templates and have plowed through the EJCDC website, but I'm balking a bit at the prices. I'll be doing simple, small jobs, lots of residential work straight for the owner, and a bit of commercial work as a sub. Based on this, any thoughts on which of the multitudes of contracts on the site would I need, or is there another (ie less expensive with better explanations) site I could look at as well?
thanks,
Linnea

Not only do you need your own contract, but you also need to be careful about reviewing contracts provided by others. Owners and others often want you to sign their contracts.
I have attached two documents. The first is a "sanitized" contract that I use. The second is a booklet on reviewing contracts. Hopefully these will help.

I just noticed it does not look like you require a client signature. Do you not require this?

Actually, at 6.5 point, it is getting close to illegally to fine for some applications in some states.
