We just started a construction company focusing on building ADU and residential remodeling. We're interested in having a set of contracts that's enforceable but also flexible per job. Can you let me know how much we need to budget for contract setup as a small business?
Note that the Home Improvement Contract statute (Bus. & Prof. Code § 7159) has numerous specific requirements for such residential projects. That increases the complexity of your prime contracts with your clients. Are you looking for prime contracts or subcontracts or both? I have forms for both types of contracts, so the cost depends primarily upon any customization that you want to apply. Feel free to email (tjulander@ostergar.com) if you'd like to discuss.
