Having a valid contract helps protect your business. If there’s a dispute with a job or a customer, this document serves as a witness that terms were set and agreed upon ahead of time. Contracts should adequately address the "big three" — scope, price, and time.
When you become a BCA member, you'll have access to our contract formation service, which will provide you with custom contracts that meet all compliance standards for your business. These contracts can be used for any upcoming projects to protect yourself and your business from liability. We'll also give you access to an attorney who can provide you with legal advice and answer any questions you have.
We have found this service especially beneficial to contractors in California and Texas. All contractors in the state of California must have a contract. Statutes are governed by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB), and your contract must include the organization's mandatory disclosures and guidelines. We are proud to help California construction contractors create CSLB-compliant contracts.
Contractors in the state of Texas have also benefitted from our contract formation services. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR) requires contractors such as Electricians and HVAC contractors to have certain provisions in their contracts such as their license number, trade name, phone number, and other requirements. Plumbers in Texas are governed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners (TSBPE) and also have similar requirements.
Although General Contractors in Texas aren't required to have a license, they can benefit from our Residential Building Contract which includes a state-mandated 2 page disclosure for all of their jobs. Roofing contractors in Texas can also benefit from our contracts which includes certain provisions designed to protect their business.
