(✔ = included by default in every Contracting Genius agreement)

| #   | Must-Have Clause                      | Typical Industry Standard                                                   | How Contracting Genius Raises the Bar                                                                                                          |
| --- | ------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| 1   | Detailed Scope of Work ✔              | Broad description of fixtures & labor.                                      | Line-item scope down to grout line width, fixture SKUs, and ADA clearances—signed off in the client portal before work begins.                 |
| 2   | Materials & Products Spec ✔           | “Builder-grade or equivalent” wording allows swaps.                         | Locked-in brand/model numbers with QR codes to manufacturer specs; any substitution requires written client approval plus a 3% invoice credit. |
| 3   | Project Schedule & Milestones ✔       | Single completion date, no interim targets.                                 | Gantt chart with daily milestones and auto-alerts; $100/day goodwill credit if we miss a milestone without written change order.               |
| 4   | Draw / Payment Schedule ✔             | 30–50 % up-front, balance on completion.                                    | Five micro-draws tied to verifiable milestone photos; no payment >20 % until fixture set—protecting your cash flow.                            |
| 5   | Change-Order Procedure ✔              | Time-and-materials with mark-ups up to 25 %.                                | Flat 10 % admin fee cap and 24-hour e-signature workflow so surprises don’t stall the job.                                                     |
| 6   | Warranty & Guarantee ✔                | 1-year labor, pass-through product warranties.                              | Lifetime labor warranty plus “360-Degree Satisfaction Guarantee”: we fix or pay third-party to fix within 10 days.                             |
| 7   | Code Compliance & Permits ✔           | Contractor “will obtain required permits.”                                  | Permit numbers, inspector name, and pass/fail reports uploaded to client portal; we cover re-inspection fees if a phase fails.                 |
| 8   | Site Protection & Clean-Up ✔          | Dumpster & broom-sweep clause.                                              | HEPA-filtered negative-air containment, daily photo cleanup log, and professional post-construction cleaning at no cost.                       |
| 9   | Insurance & Bonding ✔                 | General liability $1 M / workers’ comp per statute.                         | $5 M aggregate GL, pollution insurance, and performance bond on projects >$10 k—copies furnished with contract.                                |
| 10  | Dispute Resolution ✔                  | Binding arbitration favored by contractor.                                  | Client-choice: mediation, arbitration, or small-claims. We pay filing fees up to $750 if we lose.                                              |
| 11  | Substantial Completion & Punch List ✔ | Punch list due at walk-through; 30 days to correct.                         | Digital punch-list app with 72-hour fix guarantee (or $200/day credit) and 90-day “oops window” for new issues.                                |
| 12  | Termination & Default ✔               | Either party may terminate with 7–14 days’ notice; client liable for costs. | Client may terminate anytime for convenience—pay only work performed plus 5 % close-out fee; we waive the fee if caused by our breach.         |

Why it matters: These enhanced clauses convert legal fine print into tangible protections—covering workmanship for life, guaranteeing schedule adherence, locking material quality, and even crediting you cash when we fall short. That’s how Contracting Genius turns a standard bathroom remodel contract into an iron-clad promise of craftsmanship, transparency, and zero-stress delivery.
