How a Construction Business Hired a Lawyer to Draft a Design-Build Contract in Texas

In 2024, a business in Texas posted a project seeking assistance with drafting a purchase contract for an existing home currently undergoing renovations. The client, a custom home builder and remodeler, needed a legally sound agreement to facilitate the sale of the property upon completion of the renovations, which would be financed by the buyer. The contract required stipulations for allowances, change orders for any project overages, and clauses addressing financing issues, ensuring all parties were protected throughout the transaction. As a result, the client received four proposals from licensed lawyers, with flat fee bids ranging from $800 to $1,750, all submitted to meet the requested deadline of one week.
