I. General Information
a. The contractor shall submit material and finish samples for architect’s approval prior to final
installation and/or application.

sections, schedule of doors and windows, reflected ceiling plan, floor framing plans, roof plans and
details, plumbing layout, water line layout with isometric, schedule of finishes; Specifications:
material and construction specifications; legal documents.

II. Legal responsibilities for contractor

a. The contractor’s duty is to construct the project according to the designer’s plans and
specifications, within the time and price specified in the contract. This should be done without
sacrificing either the quality of the work or the safety of the workers. The contractor has complete
responsibility for achieving the quality level required in the documents, and for safety. The
contractor may also be involved in the training of the owner’s personnel in the operation of the
building systems and may provide some maintenance after construction is complete.

b. It is important to note that the contractor’s obligation is to satisfy the minimum requirements of the
drawings and specifications. In the bidding process, the owner asks for the lowest possible price to
perform only those things that are absolutely required by the drawings and specifications. Thus, the
contractor is obligated to satisfy those minimum requirements following the National Building
Codes. Of course, the owner is always free to require additional performance by change order.

c. In the design / bid / build method, the general contractor has a contract only with the owner. The
contractor has no contract with the designer. The general contractor’s responsibility is to comply
with the requirements of the contract with the owner.

III. Legal responsibilities for home owners

a. The owner's failure to understand and perform his duties can seriously affect a project.

b. The owner must clearly state the project objectives, develop a master schedule, and prepare a
budget. Many things must be considered including space requirements, adjacency of functions,
expendability, constraints, and equipment.

c. It is the owner's responsibility to have the property surveyed to identify setbacks, easements,
boundaries, and elevations. In addition the owner must have the site tested and certified for
contaminates. Geotechnical borings are required to determine the structural and drainage
capabilities of the soil.

d. The owner needs not only a design/build general contractor, but also consultants for accounting,
legal and insurance requirements for the project. Engineers are usually selected by, and work for,
 the designer. Once these consultants are selected, the owner must negotiate contracts with each
of them.

e. With the last formal review of the plans and specifications, the owner needs to have a professional
cost estimate prepared to ascertain whether the proposed design will be within the original budget.

f. The owner must be able to pay for the work and make sure the proper insurance coverage’s are in
place before construction begins.  

g. The owner must finalize the scope of the work for each cost allowance and provide a change order
to the contractor reconciling each allowance as quickly as possible.

h. The owner is responsible to insure that the contractor has a safety plan in place at the site.

i. In order to protect himself and to protect his rights under the contractor's bonds, the owner must
have a program that enables him to insure that all subcontractors and suppliers are being paid in a
timely manner by the contractor.
