Three-part agreement: estimate, initialed waiver, warranty

A single signing flow that stacks the approved estimate's specs, a thirteen-clause waiver initialed one section at a time, and a full craftsmanship warranty.

What it is

One template body in three parts. Part 1 injects the estimate line-item table, subtotal, tax, total and payment schedule plus the statutory lien and late-payment blocks. Part 2 is the Client Waiver & Agreement — thirteen numbered clauses (Materials, Site Preparation, Landscape, Stamped Plans & Permits, Utilities, Marketing & Media Use, Change Orders, Contract & Cancellation, Insurance, Liability Waiver, Labor Force, Building Process, Construction Method), each carrying its own 'Client Initials' line, closed by an acknowledgment and signature. Part 3 is the comprehensive warranty: 10-year limited labor warranty, materials via manufacturer warranties with the builder as liaison, lifetime structural design warranty on engineer-stamped plans, the claims process and the exclusions.

How it works
  1. 1The customer signs all three parts in one flow, at one URL.
  2. 2Part 1's numbers are dynamic, injected from the estimate snapshot via the {{estimate.*}} tokens.
  3. 3Part 2's thirteen numbered headings are auto-detected as required sections; each 'Client Initials: ______' line becomes a drawn-initial slot.
  4. 4Part 3 renders as document text with no initials required.
  5. 5The preset can be saved per building type and customised from there.
Why we built it

The catalog comment describes it as taken 'Verbatim from the client's PDFs… Three stacked parts the customer signs in one flow', and notes that 'The 13 "Client Initials" lines are recognized at sign-time (numbered H3s under Part 2) and replaced with drawn-initial pads.' The clauses themselves encode hard-won operational lessons — rock and hard-ground excavation costs, ground movement, a $500 change-order administration surcharge inside 90 days, and a communication policy routing everything through the project manager rather than the crew.

The problem
  • Normal material characteristics treated as defects
  • Site conditions and ground movement with no agreed allocation of cost
  • Customers instructing crews directly and causing delays
  • Warranty scope and exclusions undefined until a claim arrives
