![]() "An oral contract isn't worth the paper it's written on." Attributing statement to Yogi Berra, as cited by the court in Walthal v. Rusk, 172 F.3d 481, 482 (7th Cir. 1999) |
Drafting Project-Specific Design and Construction Contracts There is no good substitute for a carefully prepared and coordinated set of design and construction contracts. Unfortunately, inconsistencies and other weaknesses in a contract are often obvious only after a dispute has arisen. Also, construction projects rarely involve just one contract. Therefore, it is highly important to thoroughly coordinate the rights, duties, and obligations of owners, architects, engineers, interior designers, contractors, subcontractors, and others in all written contracts affecting a project. |
