In the rapidly evolving landscape of residential construction within Texas, the Texas Builders Association has introduced a comprehensive and detailed toolkit known as the "2013 - 2015 Texas Residential Construction Contracts Package (VERSION 5.0)." Published on September 1, 2013, this package is designed to serve as a foundational cornerstone for professionals in the construction industry, providing a robust framework for clarity, consistency, and legal soundness in residential construction projects. Among its extensive contents, notable are the Residential Construction Contract – Fixed Price and the Residential Construction Contract – Cost Plus, both tailored for projects executed on the owner’s property. Accompanying these contracts is a series of meticulously laid out addenda, covering everything from the Legal Description to Express Limited Home Warranty, underscored by a focus on expansive soils, green building disclosures, and the management of subcontractor and supplier relationships. Furthermore, the package addresses the unique scenarios of building on the builder's property, remodeling contracts in both fixed price and cost plus models, and even provisions for partially completed homes. Also included are critical forms and agreements that touch on independent contractor and supplier engagements, indemnities, consultant services, and mechanisms for the termination of contracts, complemented by conditional and unconditional lien waivers. This broad spectrum of documents not only underpins the contractual relationship between builders and homeowners but also ensures compliance, transparency, and accountability at every project phase, marking a significant step forward in standardized residential construction contracts in Texas.
