If you have already invested the time and/or attorneys’ fees into preparing a contract form for your business, and your only concern is to ensure that your contract form complies with all rules after January 1, 2006, then I am excited to tell you about an arrangement that I have reached with David Barnier, a construction litigation attorney and the brilliance behind the “Ask Dave” feature at our website and in our newsletter.

One of David’s practice areas involves the drafting and modification of his clients’ form contracts, which, he explains, comes after a discussion of each individual client’s business and which incorporates his own substantial litigation experience. David typically charges his clients by the hour for both the review of existing contracts as well as his efforts in determining and incorporating the appropriate modifications.

We've made arrangements with David to provide a "Contract Tune-Up" for you, at a very special price, that will include the following:

Updating your contract by incorporating the new 2006 requirements into your contract
As mentioned above, there are many, many new requirements going into effect on January 1, 2006. Miss just one of these requirements and you risk discipline by the license board.

Customized review and improvement of your contract
David will speak with you to analyze problems that you have had in the past and to prepare terms that address these problems for your future contracts. David will also draw upon his own construction litigation experience to supplement your existing contract with additional terms and/or contract language that he believes will further strengthen your ability to be timely paid and to avoid liability when an issue arises on a job.

Recommendations for changes based upon his review
Once David has identified the areas that need to be addressed, he will recommend changes and will discuss with you each of these changes as well as explain why these changes will improve your contract.

Incorporation of the agreed changes into your contract
If you have a word processing version of your contract that you can email to David, he will incorporate the agreed changes into your contract and provide you with an updated word processing document. If your contract is only available in hard copy, David will give you the option of making these changes yourself or having David re-draft your entire contract (with an additional fee according to the clerical time necessary to re-draft the contract).

David will provide an initial review of your current contract 100% free with NO strings attached

David will review your contract and discuss with you the types of changes that he believes are appropriate, and he will quote you TheContractorsGroup "Contract Tune-Up Special" price (see below) for the steps that he recommends.
As any of you who have spoken with David in the past know, he is always more than willing to answer your questions and to ensure that you understand the benefits and rationale behind the steps that he recommends.

TheContractorsGroup "Contract Tune-Up" Special price

Assuming that you are coming to David with an existing contract form that will require only the newly required language plus the “tweaks” and additions that David recommends after speaking with you regarding your specific business, then your price for this "Contract Tune-Up" Special, David’s  analysis and his efforts in revising the word processing version of the contract form, will be only $500.

If, for whatever reason, David determines that the work needed is unusually large, he may quote you a higher fee for his efforts, however BEFORE you incur any charges he will explain everything that will be done for your contract and he will also explain why your situation is more complex than the typical contract tune-up.

Again, there are no strings attached—you may do what you like with the information that David compiles from his initial review and gives to you and you have no obligation to pay David for his time spent even if you decide to incorporate the recommended changes yourself.

Why wouldn’t you take David up on this wonderful offer when others are paying FULL PRICE?

This is a great opportunity to get your contract reviewed to make sure it's in compliance with 2006 laws. Please don't put this off, do not hesitate to contact David. We expect that he's going to fill up his December and January schedule quickly with both this offer and his separate promotion of this service to other contractors, who will be paying David FULL PRICE at David’s hourly rate for both his consultation and contract preparation. Don't delay, call David today, and be sure to mention "TheContractorsGroup Contract Tune-Up Special"! :)
