[RE-wrenches] Contract Examples

[William Miller]

Alex:

This is all about reducing risk.  I include sections specifying that 
additional charges may apply if:

-We are required to appear at a planning commission, historical 
preservation or other committee or create additional documents to respond 
to special requirements.
-We hit bedrock or unmarked private utilities while boring or trenching.
-The customer changes the design.
-The roof has hidden defects.
-The Enphase or other communication medium does not work.
-The materials are delayed due to no fault of mine.

Good luck!

William
