NJ Construcion Contractors Protection Matters
 A vendor who
controls the contract also controls the bottom line. That's an accepted fact in
nearly all industries. Buy a set of tires or a kitchen appliance or take your car
to the dealer for service and you'll be handed a document to sign (a contract).
Vendors know that contracts offer protection. What's true for a tire company or
an appliance retailer is just as true for a construction contractor. You need the
same protection. And the best way to get that protection is with an enforceable
contract. Most experienced construction contractors (and every lawyer) will agree:
Work under a contract that protects your interests.
Don't get caught with a defective contract. If a job goes bad, you need a contract
that's as good as gold. If there's a defect anywhere in the construction contract agreement, an attorney
for the other side is sure to find that flaw and hammer away relentlessly. Under
New Jersey law, the contractor, not the home owner, is responsible for every defect
in a home improvement contract. Sign a boilerplate agreement, such as an A.I.A.
form, and there may be no way to collect on the job. File suit and you'll probably
lose -- and end up paying the owner's attorney fees. (New Jersey Statutes § 56:8-19).That's
an expensive lesson in New Jersey construction contract law.
Obviously, Construction Contractors NJ got an advantage in contract negotiations if you're good at drafting contracts:
