On most jobs, contract negotiations begin when you submit a written bid. Attaching a proposed contract to that bid makes it easy for your client to say "Yes." Every contractor who signs a construction agreement has a chance to negotiate the terms of that agreement.

Even if not accepted immediately, a contract tendered with the written proposal is likely to become the basis for further negotiation – especially if the contract has a highly professional appearance and is obviously custom-designed for the job.

If changes are required to overcome objections, it's easy to jump back into Oregon Construction Contract Writer and change anything. You can even type right in the contract, if required.

When the contract has been accepted, click to archive the contract where it can be used later as a template for future jobs. Any CCW contract can be used or modified as often as you want. Then click to use a prime contract as a template for subcontracts on the same job. All job information is filled in for you and all key terms in the prime contract are carried over to each subcontract.
