What Does an On Your Lot Construction Contract Include?
Understanding your construction contract is essential before breaking ground on your on-your-lot custom home. All State Homes, Tampa Bay's On Your Lot Builder since 1955, believes in complete transparency — and that starts with a clearly written contract that protects both parties throughout the construction process.
As a second-generation family-owned company with over 70 years of homebuilding experience in West Central Florida, All State Homes has refined their contract process to be fair, comprehensive, and easy to understand.
Here's what a typical All State Homes on-your-lot construction contract covers:
**Scope of Work:** A detailed description of the home to be constructed, including the specific floor plan, square footage, and all included standard specifications. This section ensures both parties agree on exactly what is being built.
**Included and Excluded Items:** The contract clearly distinguishes what is included in the base price versus what is excluded (such as lot purchase, certain site preparation items, or owner-selected specialty items).
**Specifications and Allowances:** Standard material specifications are listed, along with any allowance amounts provided for owner-selected items like flooring, fixtures, and appliances.
**Change Order Process:** The contract outlines how changes to the scope of work are handled after signing, including pricing and timeline impacts.
**Draw Schedule:** Payment milestones tied to construction phases are documented, aligning with the lender's disbursement process.
**Timeline:** A projected construction schedule with key milestones is included, along with provisions for timeline extensions due to weather, permitting delays, or material availability.
**Warranty:** All State Homes' workmanship warranty terms are clearly stated, covering what is warranted and for how long.
