CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS
Lozcon CBI will work with any person or organization on a governmental, commercial or residential project. First we have to determine what our business relationship and whether you want us to completely be in charge of the whole project or a part of it. Working together, we can draw up several different kinds of constrution contracts so we can define exactly how we will be working together, define respsonsibilities, and to determine the distribution of savings or profits of the project, from start to finish.
Construction General Contractor
As a General Contractor, Lozcon will be completely responsible for all aspects of the construction/building process: the pre-building responsibilities such as concept, design, budgeting, permitting, etc. Then when building begins, Lozcon will act as the construction manager to purchase materials, hire subcontractor, schedule work, supervise construction, inspect quality of work, finalize paperwork, etc.
Cost-Plus or Turnkey Construction Contracts
Cost Plus Operation - An owner agrees to pay the cost of the work, including all trade subcontractor work, labor, materials, and equipment, plus an amount for Lozcon’s overhead and profit.
Turn Key Construction - Construction contract in which the price is fixed at the time the contract is signed. Lozcon is completely held responsible for meeting or exceeding the budget.
