The course book explains everything you need to include (and avoid) in either your contract with an owner, a general contractor or a subcontractor. The course book addresses the complete panorama of contract clauses and terms, including dispute resolution clauses, preliminary lien notices to preserve your lien rights, punchlists, warranties, insurance, oral and written change orders, pass through claims, commencement/completion dates, liquidated damages, limitations on liability, unforeseen site conditions, delays and more. Don't use somebody else's contract without appending your own standard modifications. Don't blindly use "industry" contract forms. Have your own contract, which accurately reflects the best way for you to run the project and assure yourself of getting paid at the end of the job.
