Contract template library by business model

What it is

CATALOG_TEMPLATES ships complete markdown contract bodies, each tagged with a business model and a plain-English description of its liability, warranty and payment shape. Picking one saves a tenant-owned copy into contract_templates at version 1, which the builder then edits freely. A preview renders the body with sample data so it reads like a real contract, not raw placeholders.

Also called: contract templates · starting point contracts · contract presets · sample construction contract

Signature

The library modal: three business-model cards with badges, the amber 'starting points, not legal advice' banner pinned at the top, and the preview pane rendering a real-looking contract. Component: ContractTemplateLibrary.tsx. Sample data — no customer information appears here.

How it works

1Settings → Intake & Contract → Browse template library.
2Each card shows the business model badge, a one-line summary, and a paragraph on liability/warranty/payment shape.
3Preview body renders the whole contract with sample values (Jordan & Taylor Sample, $52,400.00) through the real contract renderer.
4Use this template opens a branded confirmation, then saves a tenant copy and makes it the default.
5Previously-signed contracts are untouched — they keep their frozen copy.

Why we built it

The catalog deliberately lives in TypeScript, not a database table: 'Storing them in SQL migrations is gnarly to write, gnarly to update, and gnarly to review. Living in TypeScript means template changes go through the same code-review path as any other change to the platform — the right gate for legal-adjacent content.' The header is equally blunt about limits: 'IMPORTANT — these templates are STARTING POINTS, not legal advice. Each tenant's copy must be reviewed by a licensed attorney in the applicable jurisdiction before use with customers.'

The problem

Builders operating without any written agreement at all
Using a turnkey GC contract while actually only supplying a kit and coordinating an installer (or vice versa)
Not knowing what a contract for your liability profile should even contain

Sound familiar?

“don't have a real contract, just a quote and a handshake”“my contract was written for a different kind of job”“borrowed a contract off the internet and it doesn't match how I work”“need a post frame building contract template”

What you get

A complete, model-appropriate contract in place the same day

Preview shows what the customer will actually read before you commit

Your copy is yours — edit any clause without touching anyone else's

What's inside

Three liability models to start from

The library's three starting points map to the three ways post-frame builders actually run: supply-and-coordinate, self-perform turnkey, or design-build using subs.

Private contract presets only your company can see

A builder's own verbatim legal text can be loaded into the library as a preset that no other company on the platform can see or use.

Not-legal-advice warnings you can't miss

Every surface that hands you a contract body says, in the same words, that it's a starting point and needs a lawyer in your state.
