Total contract price: {{total}}


Payment schedule:

**Balance:** upon glass installation, final inspection, and walk-through approval

04Payment Terms

req

Deposit at signing; milestone at tile completion; balance on substantial completion and walk-through approval. Payment due within 3 business days of each invoice.


Invoices are due upon receipt. Payments more than ten (10) calendar days past due accrue a service charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid balance, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. {{contractor_name}} reserves the right to stop work and preserve lien rights if any progress payment is not received within five (5) business days of the due date. All retained mechanic's lien, stop notice, and bond rights under applicable state law are preserved.

05Exclusions

reqai rewritable

The following items are specifically NOT included in the contract price and are the responsibility of {{client_name}} unless added by written Change Order:


Permits, plan-review fees, and jurisdictional inspection fees unless explicitly itemized above

Repair or remediation of pre-existing code violations discovered during the work

Asbestos, lead paint, mold, or other hazardous material abatement

Structural engineering, architectural drawings, or third-party design services

Finish selections, fixtures, or appliances not listed in the itemized scope

Work on concealed systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing) beyond the points of connection identified

Post-completion cleaning beyond construction broom-clean

06Assumptions

reqai rewritable

This proposal is based on the following assumptions. If any assumption is incorrect, the contract price and schedule are subject to adjustment by Change Order:


Site access is available during normal working hours (7am–5pm, Monday–Saturday)

Adequate parking is available within 100 feet of the work area

Electrical power and potable water are available on-site at no cost to contractor

Existing structural elements, waste lines, water supply, and electrical service are in serviceable condition unless noted

{{client_name}} will remove personal property, artwork, and valuables from the work area prior to start

Work is based on a single mobilization; re-mobilization required due to delays outside contractor's control will be billed at current rates

Existing drain stack and supply lines are accessible and code-compliant; corroded lines replaced at T&M

Floor joists are structurally sound; any sister joist or sistering work billed at T&M if discovered

Owner-supplied tile and glass selection approved prior to deposit; frameless glass template occurs after tile is complete

07Change Order Process

req

Any modification to the scope, specifications, materials, or schedule set forth in this agreement must be authorized in writing as a Change Order signed by both parties before the work is performed. Each Change Order will describe the modified scope, any adjustment to the contract price, and any impact on the schedule. Verbal instructions do not modify this agreement. Additional time and cost associated with unforeseen conditions — including but not limited to concealed rot, asbestos, mold, faulty prior installation, unmarked utilities, or code-required upgrades triggered by the work — will be documented as a Change Order and billed at the rates stated in this proposal or at {{contractor_name}}'s then-current published labor rates, whichever is in effect at the time the condition is discovered.

08Warranty

reqai rewritable

{{contractor_name}} warrants the workmanship of the installed work for a period of one (1) year from the date of substantial completion. Manufacturer warranties on materials and equipment pass through to {{client_name}} as provided by the manufacturer and are the exclusive source of any material warranty.

To make a warranty claim, {{client_name}} must notify {{contractor_name}} in writing within thirty (30) days of discovering the alleged defect and allow reasonable access to inspect and repair.

09Validity & Acceptance

req

This proposal is valid for 30 days from the proposal date ({{proposal_date}}). Pricing is subject to change after that date due to material market fluctuations and scheduling availability. Acceptance requires signature below and receipt of the deposit amount stated in Payment Terms.
