Fast Contract Writing
ContractWriter is unquestionably the fastest way to write fully customized construction contracts. Selecting pre-written contract clauses from the comprehensive Checklist, with all the selection tools and visual aids we’ve included, is simply the most efficient method of performing this vital task.
Completely Customizable
ContractWriter is completely customizable and allows you to edit our existing clauses, or add your own unique contract clauses, including adding entire new contract sections, as easily as typing them in or using your mouse.
Fully Automated
ContractWriter is fully automated and completely menu controlled, with all the commands you need to perform every task like Insert New Clause and Save to Hard Disc.
Comprehensive Checklist
A Comprehensive Checklist that reduces accidental omissions by making sure you remember everything. One pass through the Checklist writes the Contract, the Draw Schedule, the Allowance Schedule, and the Warranty. Some programs brag that they don’t have a checklist, but their “random hit” strategy is sure to lead to mistakes by omission.
10 Template Contracts
Includes 10 Template Contracts, including Fixed-Price, Cost-Plus, Design/Build, New Home on Owner’s Lot, and others already setup for you to select and begin using right away. Of course, you’ll probably want to customize our basic contracts with your own additional clauses, but these are a great start.
450 Contract Clauses
More than 450 Contract Clauses, already included in the program, selected from hundreds of builders contracts from across the entire country. We researched and identified the best-worded clauses on every subject that we could find, and you’ll benefit immediately from our hard work. You my view a complete list of all the subjects covered in ContractWriter on the Contract Clauses List.
Automated Draw Schedule
The automated Draw Schedule divides up your Contract Price into draw amounts from the percentages you entered. Letting the program do the math allows you to focus on the draw descriptions and percentages. Of course, you can override the percentages and simply enter the dollar amounts if you wish.
Configuration Settings
The Contract Configuration Settings allows you to select if you want your Draw Schedule, Allowance Schedule and/or the Warranty incorporated into the main contract or if you would prefer to have one or more of these documents created as separate documents.
Lookup / GoTo
The GoTo feature that allows you to jump to any section of the Checklist by selecting it from a pull-down window. Great for editing!
Set Customer Type
The Customer Type feature allows you to change the reference to your customer throughout the entire contract. Your choices are Owner, Buyer, Customer, Lease Holder, Property Manager or Client. This allows you to tailor your contract wording to suit the nature of your relationship with the customer.
Memorize Template
The Memorize Template feature allows you to name and save a checklist configuration. This allows you to configure your own standard contracts and recall them at any time. This is a great time saver when writing the same or similar contracts.
Print Multiple Documents
The Print Multiple Documents feature that allows you to select a group of documents to preview and print together with one command. This makes easy work of printing multi-part contracts that may include a cover sheet, schedules and addendums.
