You priced the job in a text message, the client added a bathroom fan halfway through, and now there is nothing in writing that says what the job was or what the fan cost.
Tick the box above to continue. The button stays off until you do.
Five forms for one job, in the order a job actually happens. A fixed-price bid proposal with a 14-row scope-of-work grid and an allowances table. A scope-exclusions schedule with 18 pre-written lines to tick, because every argument you have ever had was about something nobody wrote down. A payment schedule tied to visible milestones. A change order form that prices the money AND the time, with a running log so the current contract price is always one glance away. A conditional waiver and release on progress payment, written to take effect only when the money actually clears. 478 fill-in blanks. It is not scoped to any state: contract law, home improvement contract rules, deposit caps and lien waiver forms are set state by state and sometimes city by city, so every one of those figures is a blank for you to fill from your own. One section shows California's published rules as a worked example of the questions to ask about yours. No regulation is cited anywhere in these files, because none governs a bid.

What lands in your inbox
You fill in the document itself and hand it on. The checklist is there so you do not leave a blank in it. Everything else is reference. Every file is a PDF you can type into on screen, or print and write on, so you need nothing else to use it.
The rest of the set
Businesses like yours usually start with these. It is where a trade starts, not a complete legal inventory of everything it could ever be asked for — no list on any website is that. Every line below says where it came from.

Questions
Five forms in the order a job happens: a fixed-price bid proposal with a scope-of-work grid and allowances table, a scope-exclusions schedule, a payment schedule tied to visible milestones, a change order form with a running log, and a conditional waiver and release on progress payment. 478 fill-in blanks across 13 sections.
Because time is the one that gets given away. The form prices cost and schedule separately: three days of added work mid-job is often two weeks of schedule, and if the completion date is not moved on the change order it has not moved. The log carries the running contract price after every change.
Eighteen pre-written lines to tick, the ones jobs actually argue about: permits and inspection fees, hazardous material, conditions found behind walls, dry rot found after demolition, code upgrades not described, owner-supplied fixtures, weather delays and anything not written in the scope. You add your own lines at the bottom.
Check first. In a number of states the waiver form is set by statute. The bundle's waiver is general-purpose and takes effect only when the payment actually clears; if your state prescribes a form, the document tells you to use that one and keep this for your records.

Exclusions
Before you buy
When the law behind this document moves, or a clause keeps causing an argument, we rewrite it and the new version lands in your account. You do not pay again. That applies to everyone who buys, member or not, for as long as we sell this document.
The files are yours the moment payment clears, so we do not give money back just because you no longer want them. You agree to that in the box above the button before you pay, not afterwards in small print.
If a file is the wrong one, will not open, is missing pages, or does not match what this page says, that is on us and we correct it at no cost, member or not. A version fitted to your business is either included with membership or $49 on its own. That promise is the reason the no-refund rule is fair.
Want this document edited to match how your business actually works? A non-member buys one tailored edit for $49, no membership needed, and it comes back within 2 business days. A Simply Current membership is $30/month and every fitted edit is included — it wins on the second edit.
One more time, plainly: this is a blank document and it is scoped to no state. Every state-specific figure in it is left blank for you to fill from your own, and whether what you write in holds is decided by your state's law, often your city's. Check yours before you rely on it.
