For many years construction contract forms were sold on paper, usually at a hefty price per page. If a change was needed in the printed form, you had to write between the lines or make notes in the margin or attach a separate sheet. That made for messy contracts and more than a few disputes.

Now that nearly everyone in business has a computer and a word processor (like MS Word or WordPad), it makes more sense to buy construction contracts in digital form, either on disk or by download off the Web. You could call this form of contractor software "Generation II" in the development of modern California contractor software. It's clearly a step in the right direction. It's easy to make changes, additions and deletions in a digital form. But there's still a problem: flexibility. You're stuck with whatever boilerplate contract clauses the contract's author considered important. No stock contract covers even a small fraction of the thousands of possibilities that make every construction project unique. Worse, stock contracts seldom explain what each clause means or when each clause should be used. That's still left up to you.

California Construction Contract Writer is "Generation III" in California construction contractor software. CCW isn't a digital form you change with a word processor -- though CCW includes a word processor. CCW isn't a stock contract in portable document format (PDF) – though CCW output can be either RTF or PDF. CCW is best understood as an interview. Answer the questions to write a contract that fits your job precisely.

California Construction Contract Writer helps you select from a library of over a thousand California construction contract clauses. Just answer the interview questions to draft a letter-perfect contract that fits your job perfectly and complies precisely with California law.
