Ep #6: Before You Build, Read the Contract
Hosts: Tim Hill, Daniel Glauser, and Chelsea Scharbach
In this episode, Chelsea sits down with Tim and Daniel to discuss their advice for clients reviewing their first custom homebuilding contract. This conversation provides a framework for understanding contracts by walking through the structure of the Risinger Build contract, laying out the differences between cost-plus and fixed-price contracts, what to expect during the closeout and warranty periods, and who is responsible when things go wrong. The team also gets into the details of the types of insurance involved in a construction project, along with an overview of the Residential Construction Liability Act (RCLA).
Whether you’re only beginning to think about building a home or just about to sign an agreement with a builder, this episode offers valuable insights to help you navigate contracts, expectations, and protections with confidence.
