Document background
The Builder Developer Agreement serves as a critical legal framework for construction projects in the United States, establishing clear parameters for the relationship between developers and builders. This contract type is essential when a developer requires construction services for property development projects, whether commercial, residential, or mixed-use. The agreement typically includes detailed specifications about construction scope, quality standards, timelines, payment terms, and risk allocation. It must comply with federal construction regulations, state-specific building codes, and local zoning laws, making it a comprehensive document that protects both parties' interests while ensuring regulatory compliance.
