The two agreements
What each agreement says
Both agreements are written in plain words, and both are yours to read with a lawyer before you sign. Neither one commits you to the other.
The design agreement
The scope of design, the fee, the schedule for drawings, what you receive and how you may use it.
The build agreement
The price and its scope, allowances, the schedule, how changes are written, payment stages and what we repair after handover.
