Bring remodeling decisions into a defined project scope
A remodel combines planned construction with decisions that may remain open until finishes are selected or walls are opened. This PDF and DOCX sample helps organize drawings, responsibilities and change questions. It is an attorney-review outline rather than a state-specific home improvement contract.
This is a sample, not legal advice. Have a qualified attorney in your state review any contract before you use it.
Inside the downloadable sample
- Contract documents and project boundaries
- Selections, allowances and owner purchases
- Demolition discoveries and design questions
- Occupied-site plan and trade coordination
- Progress stages and written change orders
- Punch list, closeout records and acceptance
The PDF and editable DOCX contain the sample clauses and blank agreement fields. Microtra does not generate contracts.
How to use the template.
- Index the drawings and room scope before filling out the sample.
- Mark undecided selections and unknown site conditions so they are visible during attorney review.
- Have a qualified attorney in your state prepare the agreement and review project-specific notices or documents.
- Retain the reviewed contract with signed changes, selection approvals and closeout information.
Useful answers.
Is this a state-specific home improvement contract?
No. It is a planning sample. A qualified attorney should identify the agreement, notices and other provisions appropriate to the project and location before it is offered to an owner.
How should an undecided fixture be shown?
Record the selection still to be made and the assumption used in the proposal. Discuss who orders it, when approval is needed and how a different selection changes cost or sequence.
What belongs in a remodel change order?
Describe the revised work, relevant drawings, proposed financial effect and timing implications. Obtain the agreed authorization before the change becomes part of the project.
