Why do I need a contract?

If, when choosing between a construction company, an individual entrepreneur and an individual as a contractor for the provision of repair services you stopped at the last apartment, do not refuse to conclude a contract, because it has legal force, regardless of the status of signatories his faces.

Many, when starting a repair, are primarily concerned about the cost reduction and acceleration of its implementation, while some issues of the organization of the process remain unresolved.

Before the start of repair work, it rarely occurs to ordinary people to take care of clearly fixing the way to resolve some issues:

• who buys and delivers the necessary building materials to the facility;
• how the accounting of funds spent on the acquisition of materials is carried out;
• how is the acceptance of work;
• What document confirms the fact of payment;
• in which cases the contractor is liable for defects and defects in the repair.

By concluding a competent contract agreement indicating important conditions for you to perform repair work, you will protect yourself from troubles associated with the unwillingness of the contracting party to bear responsibility.

Preferring to “deal with emerging issues as they become available”, apartment owners often face the refusal of work performers to bear responsibility for certain circumstances. For example, for damage caused by negligence to property of the customer or neighbors, failure to ensure the safety of building materials, purchase and use of low-quality materials in work. If there is no contractual relationship between the customer and the contractor, it will be difficult to protect their rights or demand damages.

What conditions should be prescribed?

According to the current legislation, the terms of transactions are divided into material (mandatory for indicating in the text) and additional (prescribed at the request of the parties).

Consider all the basic conditions for a contract for the repair of an apartment concluded between individuals.

Essential conditions

Mandatory conditions include:

Subject of the contract

A clear description (types, volume and content) of the work for which the contract is concluded.

Turnaround time

Dates of the start and end of repairs are required. If the work is carried out in stages, the initial and final dates of each stage are prescribed.

Additional terms

The following points are prescribed in the contract at the request of the customer.

Contractor reporting to the customer

If there is an agreement that the contractor himself buys the necessary building materials, it will be useful to foresee it obligation to provide the customer with the originals of receipts and receipts confirming the expenditure of funds for the acquisition materials.

The cost of work

It does not apply to essential conditions, but it is recommended to indicate prices either in the text of the contract or in the attached estimate. If the contract does not contain an indication of cost, then, in accordance with the law, the average prices set in the region for the performance of similar work are applied.

Acceptance of work performed

It is better to clearly state this condition in the text of the contract, because, according to the law, this process is drawn up as a separate document - an act that is signed by both the customer and the contractor. In the absence of an act, if necessary (for example, in court), it will be impossible to prove the fact that the work was completed and accepted by the customer.

Warranty

According to article No. 724 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, the minimum warranty period for all work performed is 2 years. But no one forbids to indicate the term more than specified by law. A good master can give a guarantee of up to 5 years!

Responsibility of the Parties

The importance of including this condition in the contract requires no explanation. At your discretion, you can specify in which cases liability arises (violation of the terms of the transaction, delay in meeting obligations and etc.), the amount of damages (for example, a fixed amount of money or a percentage of the total price of the contract), establish the amount of the fine or forfeit.

Validity

Many people mistakenly believe that the contract is valid only within the prescribed term. This is not true. The contract clearly indicates the date of completion, but if the repair was not completed by this day, the contract continues act on previous terms (with delay in performance) until all obligations under it are fully fulfilled by both by the parties.

Dispute Resolution

It is important to indicate how to resolve contentious issues.

Grounds and termination procedure

It happens that the parties cannot continue cooperation for one reason or another. For this, it is necessary to provide for the termination of the contract.

Final Provisions and Signing

In the conclusion, all previously not described circumstances, methods of amending the contract and the list of accompanying documentation are prescribed.

The law prescribes to conclude contracts between individuals at a transaction price of more than 10,000 (ten thousand) rubles in simple written form, not involving certification by a notary or other way.

Handwritten signing is a sufficient confirmation that the transaction was concluded legally competently.

Estimate

If the list of work performed is extensive, it makes sense to draw up a detailed estimate indicating their types and cost. It is attached to the contract and certified by the signatures of the customer and contractor. After signing the estimate, the set price can no longer be changed unilaterally.

The estimate should be as detailed as possible, indicating the types of work, their quantity, cost per unit of measurement and total cost!

And here is what the completed estimate should look like:

Acceptance certificate

It is useful to approve a sample certificate of acceptance of work. This document is required to confirm that certain work has been performed by the contractor and accepted by the customer. You can also register in the act separate item with receipt text for receiving money by the contractor. If the work is accepted by the customer without comment and he is ready to pay their cost to the contractor, the fact of acceptance of work and the fact of transferring money to the contractor will be confirmed by one document.

How to amend the contract and estimate?

It often happens that in the repair process there are works that were not originally planned or vice versa, something no longer needs to be done. In this regard, the composition of work, the total cost and even the timing of their implementation are changing.

All changes should be documented using supplementary agreement, which indicates the new cost of repairs, deadlines and approves the new edition of the estimate. There can be several agreements: as many as are needed in the repair process.
