I'm wondering whether it is common to have a signed contract for planned work with a customer before work is done, I would assume so?
I would assume the contract would layout the specifics of the work to be done (i.e.- rough in wiring for house being constructed or electrical for kitchen remodel), and layout terms for payment upon completion (net 30, etc).
Also, I would assume there's a contingency for change orders requested during work being done (maybe T&M?)?
I would assume that there's some sort of "approval" that is signed after completion of work, so that customer doesn't come back to you and say you didn't do something that they assumed you were going to do?
I'm wondering if there's a "template" that could be created where you fill in the blanks of these particulars...
Of course I would involve an attorney in this process.
I'm just wondering how all of you typically do this.
I'm mostly referring to jobs I do which is residential and smaller commercial (i.e.- lighting upgrade)?
Thanks!
