Construction Contract Template for Contractors
ArcSite’s Construction Contract Template is a must-have for general contractors, remodelers, and builders looking to simplify project agreements and protect their business. This free downloadable template covers the essential legal and operational elements you need—from project scope and payment terms to timelines, change orders, and warranties.
The Three Essentials of a Valid Construction Contract
A legally valid construction contract is built on three foundational elements: offer, acceptance, and consideration. The offer outlines the scope of work and terms, acceptance occurs when both parties agree to those terms, and consideration refers to the value exchanged—typically payment for services. ArcSite’s Construction Contract Template is designed with these elements in mind, ensuring your agreements are clear, professional, and enforceable.
A well-structured contract helps set expectations, protects your company legally, and creates a smooth experience for your client. This template helps you:
- Minimize project misunderstandings and costly disputes
- Present a professional, organized proposal to win more jobs
- Clearly outline work responsibilities, materials, and exclusions
- Align estimates, invoices, and payment terms in one package
- Save time on future projects with a repeatable process
