Your contract documents provide a roadmap to help guide your project from conception to collecting the final check. The new and revised Contractor’s Legal Kit forms are the best I’ve seen geared for the home builder and remodeler.

– Mike Hartrich, Contractor and Founder of the Santa Cruz Construction Guild

It’s all about expectations in this business and the new and revised Contractor’s Legal Kit forms do the best job I’ve seen of defining in writing the expectations between me, the builder and my customer. With 50 years of experience building and remodeling, I’d recommend you buy these agreements and forms before vague misunderstandings with the owner bring you another headache and cause you to lose another dollar.

– Sandy Charney, General Contractor

Gary’s combined experience as a lawyer and a general contractor and The Contractor’s Legal Kit forms offer my company solid expertise so I can navigate the complicated business waters of construction agreements with ease. These agreements have been the foundation of countless successful construction contracts executed by our company for over the past 20 years. Each contract has been well received by our clients. They are detailed, easy for us to work with and offer the understandable, plain language wording and transparency our customers appreciate. The Contractor’s Legal Kit has provided our company with the confidence needed to approach both normal projects and even the most complicated construction projects that have come our way.

I've been a licensed contractor since 1996 and it was my good fortune to obtain the original Contractor's Legal Kit back then when the contracting world was new to me and quite intimidating. Gary's simple, easy to access templates were a must then and have been essential for my business ever since. The revised and new Contractor's Legal Kit construction agreements, forms and information on the Resource tab of this site should be required reading for newcomers to the industry. Their detailed scope and thoroughness will provide even the most seasoned builder like me with over 30 years of trades experience with a wealth of new ideas and insights into construction agreements and structuring the important contractual relationship with my customers. The fact that Gary's both a building contractor as well as an attorney allows for the material at hand to be extremely practical and easy to understand. One is never lost in too much legal jargon, yet at the same time all legal bases are well covered.
