Time and Materials Contract/Agreement

CaliforniaConstruction ContractLien WaiversMechanics LienPay ApplicationsPreliminary NoticeRetainage

I was recently told that Home Improvement Contractors (i.e., kitchen remodel) are not allowed to provide a Time & Materials contract - that the contract must be a set price and any changes to the scope of work/price must be covered with a Change Order. I'm looking for the statute or ordinance to confirm that it is not legal/permissible for the Licensed Contractor to issue a T&M contract. Can anyone help?

Business and Professions Code 7159 requires there be a "contract price". (BPC 7159(d)(5). Many general contractors do "time and materials", or "Cost-Plus" (the plus being overhead and profit), with a "Guaranteed Maximum Price". If you are in a dispute with someone over an existing T&M contract you should consult with a construction law attorney.
